I am getting a high speed wobble at about 115-120ish in the front end.

I took the wheel off, and put it back on myself, when I changed tires. The tire was mounted at a friends bike shop. The tire being a dunlope road smart. That was 5,000 miles ago, but the wobble was there from day one. It is not a really bad wobble, but enough that I don't maintain the high speed for very long.

Other wise all seems nice and smooth. No trouble around corners, braking, etc. I go hands free, and the bike goes down the road straight and true. Bumps, dips, dirt, things are fine. There is still a lot of tread left on the tire, and it is wearing evenly. There is no problem until I get to the 115-120 mark.

I am wondering if I tightend the axel/pinch bolts wrong. But all seems tight and okay.(Don't have a torque wrench) Or if something else is at play. I weigh 240, if that has something to do with it...

Any Ideas?
