I've posted a couple of paranoid concerns in the past but this time I have a real one:
I was riding home the other night and it felt like I was going over some bumpy road. No big deal, I figured it would smooth out eventually. Five miles later and it didn't stop and it hasn't stopped...
I checked my tires to make sure nothing was stuck in them and nothing is. I spun the front wheel to listen to the bearings and they sound fine, but I do hear the brake dragging a bit. Rear wheel bearings sound fine. I noticed there was no weight on the rear wheel and took it in to get it balanced. The guy put a 1oz weight on it but said that wouldn't be enough to make it feel strange. I just rode it and it still feels the same. I'm 85% sure the bumpy feeling is coming from the front. What else can I check myself before taking it to the Honda shop? There's a little over 6k miles on the bike.
