After I installed my engine, the bike would pull to the left when I ride with no hands. By accident I discovered that adjusting the front axle would give me better balance. So I moved the axle down about 1/4" from being fully seated on the left side of the fork. On my mountain bike there's a hole for inserting a phillips screwdriver on both side of the front fork so I could get leverage against the spokes and control the axle, before tightening the nuts. So the front wheel is actually tilted now, and is about 1/4" from rubbing on the left side of the fork, and about 1/2" from rubbing on the right side of the fork, but is easier to ride with no hands, which is important to me because of the vibration.
