Tyre wobble

elnino23

I had my bike come back from service and went out for a 30 min spin tonight came back and noticed a wobble in the tyre. So I took off the tyre and re mounted it incase the bead wasnt sitting right and still a wobble in same place. the wheel itself is perfect. tried a new inner tube and still a wobble. by the way never buy nutrak inner tubes! brand new and split in the seam straight away. Anyway 4 times i remounted and always the same wobble? any suggestions?

did you notice the wobble before the service? some cheap tyres have a wobble.

Is there a cut in the tyre or is it not seating correctly?
If it's not cut, mark with some chalk where the bulge is on both the tyre and rim. Remove and reseat the tyre and see if the bulge returns at the tyre mark or the rim mark or neither.
If tyre, then re inspect, if the rim check for something blocking the tyre seating correctly there, such as glue or grime or a dent. If neither, just seat and inflate the tyre properly and leave overnight.

Pump some of this stuff in to your tyre. It should provide an equal and opposite force to your current wobble and counter-balance the whole thing.

could be to do with how the bead is not sitting flush with the rim but at the same time, that shouldnt matter when its inflated, its not like its going to stay there with 80+ psi pushing against it

I had a similar problem with a conti tire, felt like a was riding a bike with a huge buckle, tried seating, checked the inner tube etc turns out the tire ewas twisted, it was obvious once it was off the wheel, side walls weren't even, took it back to the shop.

Yeah the whole thing is weird it wasn't there before the service. it feels odd when riding. I've had the tyre off and tried reseating checking but no success going to try with fairy liquid and see if that works but think ill be going back to the store.
