I mounted my Avon's last night. I removed all the weights on both rims and used dyna beads when the tires went back on. Both rims and tires where wiped down spotless, the beads were poured in and tires mounted (no spilled beads).
Tonight's 20 mile ride to break them in a little for this weekend revealed a front end wobble on decel. That isn't ok with me! Dyna beads come with great recommendations, so i 'assume' they are doing their job. Do these Storm 2 tires usually result in this?
Of course you could say "tighten your head stem bearings", but i've ridden 3700 miles in two months on dunlops and never once ever experienced anything like this. I can feel it try to start the wobble just cruising at 65 if i relax my hands on the bars.
My steering is looser than the common "Tighten it until it won't flop to the side while the tire is off the ground". It is pretty free to turn. It always has been.
Why would changing to a new tire force me to readjust my bearings. Isn't that hiding the real problem here?
