  1. Thanks, I already checked the rim on my truing stand and that's not the issue.
  2. OMG, that did not end well. Good grief! Ok, maybe I shouldn't try the 3 bar. As I said before the line runs perfectly parallel above the rim in both sides. The tyre was never 100% from new but I didn't mind as it was barely noticeable. Eventually it got worse. Maybe it's time for a new one, this one is probably 1+ year old. Thanks.
  3. I cleaned the tyres for any balls of gunk inside since I changed sealant brands. The wobble is visible on the outside. Thanks.
  4. Yes, it is a Maxxis Ardent. It's the front one. I've had it for a while. Maybe it's getting old or maybe it's a bad batch. It was never fully straight but never wobbled that bad. I haven't carried my bikes on the car for a long while so the exhaust theory is discarded. Thanks. Will try, thanks. Yes, I always check that line is always above the rim but I'll double check for gunk, etc. Thanks. Thanks.
  5. Oops... that's exactly what I did. I cleaned the old sealant because I change brands from Ryder to Enduro. I only pumped the tyre to 2 bar, so maybe I should try 3. Thank you!
  6. Hey guys, any ideas how to fix a tyre wobble? The wheel is true but ever since I topped up my sealant there's an annoying tyre wobble. The tyre seems to be properly seated and there's no air leaks. TIA.
  7. It's incredible how people are prepared to put their reputation on the line just to get a quick sale. Nothing wrong with being honest and describe the state of goods for sale in an accurate way.
  8. Fantastic, thank you guys!
  9. Hi everyone, I've been trying to sell these items for a friend and after dropping the price twice there's no interest. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/other-apparel/543093/riding-gear-price-drop Does anyone know of any charities that I can give it to? I emailed Norther Farms because I remember they had a community initiative but I haven't had any response. TIA.
  10. Hey guys, can anyone recommend an affordable 110 volts line stabiliser to connect my vintage Rotel amp and control amp? My current one has started to blow up fuses after 20+ years of service. The specialist can't figure it out because the internal IC and components have no codes on them. I have a step down converter that seems to be working fine but I've always used the stabiliser as extra precaution and has kept my hi-fi working flawlessly. TIA.
  11. Ah, ok, that makes sense. It's a pity he couldn't get on the podium, though.
  12. What a fantastic season/final race/final lap. I prefer all this drama and controversy over the boring seasons with one team one driver of years ago. I'm glad for Max and RBR but an LH win would have also been ok as he dominated most of the race. I'm so proud of Checo, my countryman, as he gave a clear demonstration of what he's capable of. Does anyone know why they RBR had to retire him? I can't find anything on the web.
  13. I think the services would have to be limited to wash, lube and adjustments with some basic spares and consumables. And manage the clients expectations accordingly. The thing is that for that kind of service the price may not be justifiable as you would have to consider costs that a workshop won't have like van maintenance, fuel, etc. Another problem is the waste of time in traffic going from client to client and time is something you can't afford to waste. At least in a workshop you are able to put job cards on hold while you wait for spares and carry on with other work. From client convenience perspective, yes, I think it would be nice but at what price point?
  14. I'm glad you're ok, Lars.
  15. YESSSS!!!! https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/55367539
  16. Fingers crossed! Checo deserves a seat for next year.
  17. Williams family stepping down after Italian GP. That's a team I would love to see challenging the front runners.
  18. That sucks. Just when racing point is showing some pace.
  19. F1 Tech Q&A... very interesting! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFuhJoX64MU
  20. I'm glad about that. I'm a big fan of him and Renault but I think his time has passed. He'll bring excitement to the races, though.
  21. Watch Alex Albon. He has huge potential. I only realized it after watching Drive To Survive on Netflix. The kid has talent.
  22. I've had mine for almost 30 years and I've never used it so I can't say. Maybe I should try it.
