you have tried using balance beeds... how about a real method to balance the tire?

when decelling the rake is pitched forward so it is more unstable.


even if the bearings were shot it wouldn't do what you are describing. and having smoother bearings would do nothing but exacerbate the issue since there is less damping being applied to the steering


if you read through the thread you will notice a pattern... old tires wobble more, then people replace them with brand new, fully balanced tires and the wobble goes away. its not coincidence.

also i'll say again, balance beeds do nothing to actually balance the tire.

and before we get into a "they do work, i noticed a difference" debate; if they worked, OE manufacturers, tire shops, racers... everyone would use them. but they don't work, so nobody does.
