cm16600 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hi I am a new owner of a KS 16b. Purchased used but in very good condition and low mileage 410 km for now. This is my first wheel so I cannot compare to anything else. when I ride over 20 kmh /12mph I hear a wobbling sound that I did not hear before. I cannot say that when I ride I feel a discomfort.This sound is bugging me though. I did an experiment in house, I was lifting the wheel and the sound appeared again over 20 Kmh,but this time because I wasn't on the wheel I could clearly feel a shake with my hand holding the wheel. I tried several times an the wobbling sound always appears after 20 km/h and the light shake of the wheel. I must admit I fell a couple of times but nothing that damage the wheel even cosmetically.Any ideas on what is happening? Is the wheel out of balance? I appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

swvision Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Its probably the wheel nut or bolt in the center of the wheel that connects the pedals to the wheel. If it is loose then you will have shaking. Look for videos to open the plastic case and tighten the nut or bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robi Bobi Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Or adjust tire on the rim again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm16600 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hi Robi Bobi, what do you mean with adjust? Removing the tire and putting it back? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks deflate the tire, move it around on the rim so it can center itself out, then slowly inflate while turning the wheel by rolling it with a little bit of pressure over the ground. Take turns with inflating and rolling. Make sure you complete several revolutions of the wheel while rolling it on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robi Bobi Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Take also care to proper fit the tube and thr air valve in right position. I had the same in main Ks 16, too high pressure increase wobbling sound and shake efect. Other wise I recomend change the tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
