  1. okay, so i just went around the block and it feels like the wheel is
    wanting to slowly turn to the right, it is on a torker cx, does anybody
    know why this is?

    It takes twice the man to ride half the bike.

  2. This could be because the seat isn't straight or the bolts on the fork
    that hold in the axel could be tightened to different amount to that the
    wheel leans one way. If it is the bolts it really obvious because the
    wheel should be in the center of the fork not to the side. Most likely,
    it's the seat.

    Are you a new rider. If so,

    I’ve learned that the turn in my new unicycle disappeared as my riding
    technique improved.

    I went further than I had planned and had a testicle break at about 25

  4. I agree with One on one that it's probably just your technique.

    When I first started riding unassisted I had a tendancy to ever so
    slowly veer to the left, but that disappeared once my technique
    improved.

    I'm betting that once you get better it will slowly cease to be an
    issue.

  5. Also, ride on the opposite side of the road and see if the uni still
    pulls to the right. It could be the crown in the road.
