Scott,
Interesting that you mentioned that. I recently had a set of Michelin =
Macadams ( I know I should have gotten the Chin Shens) mounted on my 69. =
Same with these tires. The bike does the woopty doo at 35-40 mph. =
Fortunately I feel nothing at 60mph and I don't feel there is any loss =
in handling after 700 miles (just came back from the WNYR). As I was =
riding along I was wondering if the rim might be out or round. I'll =
check it out.
Regards....Ian

Had some new 4X18 conti blitz tires mounted over the winter while =
the bike was apart.After about 500 miles of riding around i just noticed =
that the tire does not seem to be mounted concentric with rim.When =
spinning the tire and focusing my eyes on the seam where the tread meets =
the sidewall,I can see quite a dip in the tire in one area of the =
tire.It looks as if the bead is not fully seated on edge of the rim.The =
rim runs true.My question is do you think it is just not mounted =
properly or possibly a defective tire?The front end pogos pretty badly =
at 35 mph,I had been thinking it was just poorly balanced.Thanks.
