Kreshnik,

Try moving the tyre sideways by hand and see if the hub, rim and tyre move as one, or if the movement is just from the rim and tyre.

It sounds like it could be excessive lateral rim movement due to loose spokes, in which case you will need to tighten them up a bit.
If this is the problem, try and tighten the spokes evenly, and your wheel should remain reasonably true.

Check out this post regarding loose spokes.

What Alan said.

And.

Get some fine machine oil into the nipples before you try to turn them.

And check your pie side housing bolts too.

Hi everybody,

Thank you firs for your help.

I found why the type touches the fork : 2 days ago I tighten the spokes and I think I could do better.

However the loose is still here : the hub, rim and tyre move together. Some one have the same problem on their pie ?
