on reflection, wheels aren't as unmarked as I thought(they were still covered in fitting gunk) :shock: :shock: :x
and the balancing is horrendous :shock: :shock:

it's weird. the vibrations don't happen all the time, but always between about 70-90 tuts. different surfaces but not consistant(ie sometimes rough/ sometimes smooth) but happens on both surfaces.
i always thought that if it was balance out, then the vibrations happened all the time. Can someone enlighten me??? :shock: :oops:

It's a resonance thing.
