Hi all, my Alex DA22 rims have gone past the point of the wear indicators and are now due for changing but finances are resricting replacement at the moment.
This may be a dumb question but as the rims get thinner does it affect the handling of the bike. ie is there more flex in the wheels that leads to a different feel when riding?
Over the past month or so the bike feels more drifty on the road. weather conditions and road surfaces don`t make a difference, but occasionally it feels like riding on an oily surface - really vague and uncertain.
I`ve done all the obvious mechanical checks to make sure nothing is loose, tyre pressures are checked every day -105psi and there is no apparent casing distortion.
Has anybody else come across this or have any idea of the cause.
Cheers m`dears.
