OK this is driving me up the wall.
I have charge dish wheels, with kenda kwick roller 700 x 28 tyres.
I can never get the tyres to run straight what I mean is when I get the tyres on the rims and spin em in the frame they dont run straight like their not on the rims right its like they are on the rim wrong, like say 1/2-1mm kind of pulled over to one side of the wheel rim. I dont mean like a buckled wheel I mean like if you put a ruler across the frame right up close to the road contact area of the tyre and spin the wheel, half of the tyre would hit the ruler, and half wouldn't lik ethe tyres not on right. Now I've had these tyres and tubes on off these rims probably about something like 20 times! The tyres just wont go on straight. I thought it might be because charge dish wheels need long valves, so I made sure I used long valve tubes but it makes no difference!
What the hell is going on, why wont the tyres go on straight?
Thanks
Jeff
