Thank you for sharing your experience iabob. It's really helpful to hear the opinion of someone with experience with the beads. I suspect you are correct that I do actually have a tire or tube problem. It sounds like there would not be an issue with trying out the beads to see if they make a...

Thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions. Clearly the rim truing and spokes affect the wheel spin. Once one has confirmed those are not significantly out of adjustment then I believe the balance can make a difference. If there is a heavy spot on the wheel/tire, then it would cause the...

Okay, I see where to put the thread lock now. Thank you for the clear picture. I may possibly have a bent tire bead. I will try switching the tires. I guess I need to learn how to mount bicycle tires anyway, why not now. 🙂 I got a bad auto tire with a bent bead issue a while ago.

Thank you for your help, that is really interesting, I do hear a little bit of creaking noise while riding. I thought there may be a spoke tension issue. The bike is pretty new still so I thought it was just breaking in. I don't hammer it off road. I just ride on the roads and bike paths. I...

Hey thanks for the input. I definitely feel a wheel shake at about 20 mph. It's not bad enough to be a safety problem. It does interfere with my riding enjoyment though. There is something off I can see a little wobble in the tire when it is spun around but I think a little bit is typical...

tire balancing beads? I believe my wheels are a little out of balance. I just learned about tire balancing beads. They can be used for almost any tire, motorcycle, etc... including tires with tubes. I want to try adding a small amount of the beads into the tires because It is really easy to do...

Hello, I am enjoying a 2019 Radcity bike. I don't ride a lot of miles. I am getting the bike dialed in. I have a minor handing issue with wheel shake a higher speed (about 20mph). I have checked the tire seating and brought it to a couple of shops to check wheel truing. That all seems to be...
