Front wheel Issues

Don't over think it. First check that there is no excess play in the stirring neck. If all is good and snug, the next thing i would do is deflate the tire. Rotate the tire on the rim 90 to 180 degrees. It's possible that the tire is not beaded evenly on the rim. unless you have excessive play in the axle and rim i would think the bearings are good.

Did you clean the brake rotors and pads before riding the bike? There is a shipping film on the rotors that really needs to be cleaned off. This would cause any pulsating or pulling when the brakes are applied.

The film I don’t know about. I bought the bike brand new from a previous owner. It had 5 miles on it when I got it. It was riding beautifully until about 3 weeks ago. Rear tire pressure was major low so I thought that would be the issue.

*I have a cobble stone drive way. When I ride over bike goes all over the place. Can’t even corner on cobble stones because bike feels like it’s coming out from under me.*

Don’t know if that helps explain what I’m experiencing. Everything seems to be tight but I won’t be able to take a look at it until this weekend. I use bike to get to work so hopefully whatever it is can hold on until Friday.
