Rich Sam Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Hey there guys, hoping someone has seen this before and if this is something I should be concerned about. When I try and ride sherman with one foot, I can hear slight tire rubbing sound. Is this a known thing? Only happens when I put lots of sideways pressure, such as one foot riding. Appreciate any knowledge on this, --Rich Edited July 27, 2021 by Rich Sam clarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 It happens on a lot of wheels. The plastic shell flexes just enough that the tyre starts to rub. Don't worry about it and just ride. Unless you do 100's of miles on one leg lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercurio Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 It can easily happen on Sherman if the crash bars are bent even a little bit. In case, you just need to straighten them manually (bend them to the original shape or even wider) and the rubbing should disappear. I discovered that recently, worrying of having bent the motor axle, or hangers after the wheel had a slow tumble. Nope, that was just the bent rear bar, all good now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 My Sherman did not rub until I updated with the wider rim. It has never been crashed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent hours massaging my tire and still it rubs a little from the tire whiskers. I have the wider rim and it hasn’t given me any problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
