Hi Becca,

Have you called Bailey about this problem? They can talk you through needed
repairs, changes.

I have a Bailey, and I love it. I haven't needed to fix anything, but from
what I hear they are a very responsible company.

Good luck,

Rikki

Hello all,

I've been having a problem with my Bailey Wheel that I'm hoping someone will
be able to shed some light on…. When a small amount of pressure is applied
to the wheel head, such as during centering, the wheel "knocks" and the
wheel head jerks my Baileys only a year old and I was hoping this would be
the sort of problem that just needed more running to work out, sadly it
doesn't seem to be going away. Does anyone have any suggestions in
fixing/diagnosing this problem?

Thanks,

I have a Bailey too. Give them a call. They's help you fix it.
Mine is great. It did have a loose belt once and I tightened it.
No problems.

Becca:

I had a similar problem. I had to remove the bottom covering and reattach some of the belts. One of the belts had broken and caused the others to be off track. I have no problem since.

Call Bailey at the number listed on their site and ask for Neil Yanoff. He
is one of the best and most patient tech support people I have ever
encountered. I have two Bailey wheels, and Neil helped me rewire one of the
control boards over the phone once...he was fantastic...
