Trouble balancing Vredsteins. Anyone else had this problem? My bike shop in VA did a static balance before I left for FL. Got down here for a first ride and had bad shaking above 45. Went out and got a cheap harbor freight bubble balancer and got to almost 75% better. Went to a local tire shop hoping they could fine tune my work and he stated the tires were totally out of round and the weights needed were off the charts. Sent me to a local repair shop. They spent about an hour on them and declared them “balanced”. Rode today and nearly lost my mirrors and fenders as the vibrations were severe. Finally found a CanAm repair shop about an hour away and they stated that the repair shop has put excessive weights in three positions on each wheel. They removed that mess and redid them. Gonna try them out tomorrow and hope that they are finally done right. Geez…
You've got some other problem there if it is taking that much weight. I would suspect there is something wrong with the tire(s).
