wobble

[godspeed1313]

is there any way that i can make the tire mount at more of a right angle to the rim all around? i seem to have trouble when i mount the tire on the rim the tire makes a wobble when it rotates. if i just need to take my time or get someone else to do it, is there a helpful tool. thx for your help.

once you've applied your cyanoacrylic glue, sit the tire down on a flat surface, place your hand (or flat object such as a short piece of 2x4) while applying a slight downward pressure and roll the tire back and forth. This should allow the bead to seat properly all the way around, thus eliminating your wobble

or get bead locks!!!

+1 for beadlocks...I'll never go back to a regular tire!

would we be able to see this in a pic? I'm just wondering if moulded foams would solve your problem.

i have a bad connection so sorry. but the ones that do it the worst are the hpi dirt bonz tires. should i have trimed the foam? I'm begining to think it may be my axles.

without seeing a vid, I'm thinkin your foams could be the culprit. only caz i see guys run em with these foams here & no wobble, balloon, pizza-cut, etc

If Fred is referring to my dirt bonz I run them with OFNA yellow foams. HPI foam is junk. His link above no tape needed.

CA sets almost the second the tire hits the rim. Most likely if not foams it is the bead glued above where it is meant to seat. If so bake/boil them off, clean up and stat over. Thin /med CA is best. Thick tends to mess up the beads.
