Vibration at specific speed is almost always a balance problem. Im really sorry your having to deal with that. If they are having to use a lot of weight, that usually indicates a wheel problem. Unfortunately there is no easy solution here, without switching tires on the same wheels and trying to...
Well, a wider tire and shorter sidewall will definitely change the steering feel and make the ride more bumpy. But it shouldn't cause more vibration.
So is the wheel vibrating, or just moving with the road imperfections?
Right. Its depends on the shop or the installer. My point is that sometimes these warranties come with strings. And sometimes you pay or them. A smart independent installer wont do that. Nickle and diming people for maintenance in order to keep a warranty that you paid good money for doesnt...
Understand my response was simply about the warranty question made by @2024_Night_Mare
I dont disagree with anything you said here. Its all pretty standard. Its true you will likely never have a problem if a good installer uses a good product. That said I need to point out that regardless of...
Warranties are typically done through the installer. And they installer will submit a claim to the manufacturer if the product was at fault.
The thing is most warranties require yearly maintenance. Sometimes twice a year. Be smart and read the fine print. Any reputable shop will honor it, but...
Its not the width its the offset. Not sure about the offset in the rears with the square set up, but you can put much wider wheels than that and be just fine.
The funny thing is the thread was about whether the DH has forged pistons. Ive personally heard a lot of conflicting information about the DH internals so I thought it might be an interesting topic. But it seems one fairly innocuous comment in post 3 sent the train off the tracks in short order...
My first reaction was bad wheels. Ive heard many stories about aftermarket rims having defects and poor balance. Those Conti Extreem Sport Contact 2s are great tires. I have a hard time believing you got two bad ones. But stranger things have happened. Let us know how it goes.
