Also has anyone used pirelli angel tyres and what do you think of them ? Many thanks

I'd strip the front wheel off again and all cables etc then start by checking your head bearing adjustment then have a look at your front wheel spindle trueness and or alignment, like is the caliper central on the disc, does the front wheel spin freely etc :idea:
