My front wheel is dragging 50% of its rotation as I rotate it such that it resembles the drum being elliptical.
I have clocked its mounting on the driveshaft and that seems perfect.
As best as I can, I have ascertained that the drum's diameter varies by about 1mm. around its circumference - is this acceptable or should it be near perfectly round?
I ask because I took it to a mechanical workshop who said that it would cost too much to skim it due to it being so difficult to mount on a lathe.
I am wondering whether to try to obtain a new (old) one.
What are your thoughts?
cheers
