Out-of-balance rear tyre?

[Leyton]

Hello

Are the chinease tyres oftern known to be a little off balance when one picks up the back of the bike and spin the tyre ?

Is it fine to ride it like this ?

I replaced the inner tube, I was wondering if there is a trick with mounting the tyre.

I noticed a little extra rubber on one side of the tyre on the inside.., is that to counter the valve ?

pictures please...and what can you see that makes you think its out of balance?? you didn't bend the rim getting the tyre off did you?

[Leyton]

Yeah pictures could help, Nothing is bent at all.

If there was a correct proceedure for balacing the wheels someone would have posted by now :) Hopefully hehe

I will post a pic when I pull the tyre of next :P Not anytime soon! ehhe

They are hard to get back on :P

Hey Leyton,

You want to be running tubeless on the B1. Also the chinese rims don't often run true. I'm about to try a third front rim on my Polini rep as there is up and down play.
Try fitting a tubeless valve and refit tyre.
