Try spinning the front wheel to check brake clearances with a bungie through the spokes, it has a tendency to spin back at you without even going all the way around, Go figure. I totally get el forestero's plight because I have the same problem. I remove the front wheel to work on it and the handle bars flop to the side. I use my bike carrier on the back of my truck for a work stand so tilting the front down isn't an option. I was thinking maybe an adjustable duster rod with velcro hot glued on each end so it can go from the top tube to one side or the other of the handle bars.
