Narrative:
At rotation, aircraft nose veered to right and a vibration was felt on climb out as nosewheels spun down. Had runway inspected and did tower fly-by to inspect nosewheels. Tower advised normal indications. Diverted to ind due to fuel considerations and did a precautionary 'nosewheel will not extend' landing. No abnormal indications were felt or experienced. Had emergency equipment standing by as a precaution.
