| Subject: | Nose wheel tires |
Tried them all; new smoothies, retreaded, and now I have the 15/600x6. On mostly
grass I have gotten 300 hrs on retreads. Recently I tried to fix a shimmy problem
with not one, but two new Chinese tires in a row and then the Cleveland
conversion. Turned out to be worn centering cams in the nose gear. Sooo, new nose
gear fixed the problem.
Now I have two very low time Chinese nose wheels I don't need. $85 for Both plus
shipping. Off 'list please.

Hello,
Desser is most likely not to blame for wheel vibration, because a lot of vibration
is caused by the valve and protecting rubber block of the inner tube. This
assembly accounts for ~120 gramm unbalance. Plus, the rims on our 18 T are eccentric
to the bearings, about 1.5mm on the indicator for the nose wheel. So you
may be lucky to compensate eccentricity of the rim by moving the tire around
a few times, but youd have to balance the weight of the valve and rubber as
well - not easy for the nose wheel. So I made a new nose wheel rim in aluminium
with modern seals, preset taper roller bearings, and near enough balanced by
inserting carbide from end mill shafts into the rim opposite the valve. For the
main wheels you could put modern car lead weights with sticky tape into the
wheel to balance it.
