I bought a second hand Solaris last week and noticed the rear wheel wobbling during my first ride. Im running 2.2 Conti Mountain Kings on Hope Tech XC wheels. When I got home I deflated the tyre, checked that the tube and tape wasn’t displacing the bead and tried the washing up liquid/60PSI trick to seat the tyre properly. I checked the alignment and it was still wobbling so I took the tyre off to inspect the rim. It was slightly untrue so I figured this was probably the cause – took the wheel to my LBS, got it trued and tried again when I got it back. Still wobbling!
I had the same problem on my last bike when I bought it new, also Mountain Kings but 26″. Are these tyres prone to imperfections?
Is there anything else I can try before buying a new set of tyres?
