Looking at this picture and the tire wear pattern, is it possible the wheel is bent?
If the wheel is bent, is my assumption that the bearings still need replacing correct?
Thanks.

Re: My 1980 Vespa P200e front tire wear...
Any way to determine axle diameter before disassembling? I note that some axles seem to be 16mm and the rest 20mm.Norrie Bodge wrote:Fit new hub & backing plate bearings not an expensive job

Re: VBB 10" wheel conversion
If you have a speedometer/odometer driven from the front wheel you will need to deal with that.

My 1980 Vespa P200e front tire wear...
...is mostly on the left. Very noticeable. The tire was on the front of the machine when I acquired it a few years ago. Don’t recall noticing abnormal wear on this tire then. I’ve since put 3500+/- miles on the Vespa with this tire on the front. Is such uneven wear common? Or is there some mechanica...

Front tire wear P200e
The front tire on my P200e appears to be wearing more on the left than in the center or on the right. Is this typical? If not, is there some clue I should look for as to the reason?
Thanks.

I got the turn signals working properly on my 1980 Vespa P200e, including the indicator light by the speedometer. Even with the indicator light I still tend to forget to turn the signal light off. I am thinking about putting a buzzer into the circuit to help me remember. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn...

Re: Crank won’t turn when flywheel nut is tightened.
If you know someone with a large enough metal lathe they might - I say MIGHT - be able to shave enough off the binding areas that the flywheel would then fit properly.

Piaggio MP3
Anyone have/had one of these three wheel leaning scooters from the maker of Vespa? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180902/e630858aaa2c2587009211fe32db2048.png If so, please write about your experiences, likes, and dislikes. And if you had one and got rid of it, why? Thanks Sent from my iPhone usi...
