Front rim and Triple Clamp

[brandon]

Hello everyone,

I just purchased a 1985 PW50 for my daughter. I noticed the front rim wobbles, could this have been installed wrong or is it more likely that I will need a new rim because this one isn't true?  Does anyone have the instructions for installation so I can do it correctly and see if it was just done wrong?

I there is also a lot of movement in the triple clamp.  Is this something I can just tighten?

I am pretty new to this stuff so any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

I am not sure if you are still looking for an answer but I just replaced a triple clamp and in short, I removed the handlebars and there is a screw you need to tighten as to remove the play on the clamp, not too tight as it can hamper the movement. What I also noticed is that the bearings at the bottom of the clamp might be worn or fallen out which will result in the T-clamp being lose.
