Hi all

 

I got at set of new Jade R 18" from DP1.

But when im hitting about 55mph it starting to viprate.

Thay say " It may be the the weights have moved in transit" (thay are glued on.)

The front rims has 70Grams of balance weight each.

Is this not a bad sign ?

 

regards

Just go get them rebalanced?

 

That was my idea, but when I see thay have 70gram balance weight and only 25gram on the rear. I thorth there has to something wrong whit front rims.

 

My old team dynamic rims, was 85grams on one front wheel, be cores the rims was damaged. And no matter what, it never got any better even if thay ballanced it time af time.

 

I just talk whit little num, his was spot on when he got his Jade R also from DP1.

take them to a good tyre shop and tell them to strip the weights and start again, if the wheel / tyre combo is still a long way out , ask them to remove the tyrs and spin just the bare rim on the balancesr a good rim shoukld never be more than 20g out either side with no tyre.

 

it could just be rubbish tyres
