Road Trail 5 tyres problems

[Deleted account 200705001]

Just had a new pair of road trail tyres fitted, there is now loads of vibration through the bike and the front end is all over the place . It bobs up and down and the whole bike feels terrible . I had anekee 3s on before these ! Any help or advice would be good , I think a trip back to the tyre fitter might be the way forward , I did read something about the bead not being seated correctly or a bad tyre !!!

There’s a line on the tyre that should run parallel to the rim. Also check that the tyre has mounted correctly like sprung out all round. JJH

 

[Tractors are go]

Check everything is torqued properly. Spin wheel and see if tyre is out of round (it happens). Tyre pressure too.

Also that the dot is lined up with the valve too.

If it is still vibrating, take it back.

Well it certainly aint right, so back it goes.............however if you have a compressor pop it up to about 42 psi and see if it makes a bang seating itself.

It’s amazing what tyre fitters will do. I was getting a new tyre on my daughters panda. First he wanted to fit a wrong size tyre sorted that. When it came to balance it he was putting on more and more weights I said that can’t be right. Oh I know what I’m doing says he. Rim wasn’t mounted correctly on spindle. Still he argued. Fucking ejit. JJH

Tyre wrong way round?

 

[fredaroony]

Get them to refit it and make sure they static and dynamically balance the tyre. Many shops will tell you only static is required but sometimes that is not true

My own experience is that their better off not balanced at all than been done wrong. JJH

This is why i fit my own. A bit of messing around and sore knuckles but i know they're right and not marked a rim (yet).

 

[JJH]

I fit my own. Got the marks on rim to show it. Not on current bike. Hopefully going back to a GSA. Just can’t get on with the rt. JJH
