[QUOTE="SwollenRaccoon, post: 1444421, member: 19178"] Echoing what everyone else says...tire pressure. Check that first. I run 42/42, and have good luck with that. That being said, she's a big heavy girl. A front tire (depending on make/model of tire...I know nothing about that front tire you have, like everyone else) that is worn will make the bike handle like a loaded cement mixer. It won't like to turn. Even with good tires, pressures, and all mechanical adjustments perfect, it's a big heavy bike with relatively narrow "handlebars", and it takes a good bit of force to get it to start turning. The more miles you get on the bike, the more it will become second nature. But, yeah, start with the front tire. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
