My front tire seems to be pulling to one side at times or seems to wobble but cannot see anything wrong. Could one side of the brakes be catching?

your tire cannot pull to one side, it's dead-center. maybe you're feeling the crown of the road. as for wobble, please give us more description. what speed, rpm, gear, load, throttle, road conditions, etc.

Keep the front wheel high in the air and it will never bother you again.

When I get up to about 50 mph I can really feel that it doesnt feel safe(wobble). The front rotor is getting some minor indentations on one side. I ordered new bearings so i hope thats it

I'm guessing new rubber will fix it all, that tire is shot

You could get a brake hone, while it's apart
