...who would be willing to lend me their rear wheels for 15 minutes.

My Cerb seem to have developed a vibration that feels uncannily like a buckled wheel, but the tyre shop insists that both wheels comes up OK on their balancing machine. I've also tried swapping side to side, but it doesn't seem to make much difference.

I just want to try a set of known-good wheels to try and diagnose the problem before I shell out on a new pair.

Helpfulness will be rewarded with beer (and, of course, the warm glow of knowing that you're assisted a fellow human in his hour of need).

Hi Neil,

If you can make your way up to Dundee I'd be happy to pop a couple of my alloys on for you to let you find out if that's your problem.

Cheers, Barry

Cerbera in the Borders in a million bits if you want to try wheels and tyres, could drop off on way through Edinburger if needs must.

Big thanks to all for the offers of help. Especially big thanks to Richard (Dick Darstardly) who not only lent me his aboslutely brand new and freshly balanced Tuscan wheels, but was also mighty hospitable and a generally all round good egg. Hoorah for the nice people in the world!

As an aside, we decided that the wheels were not at fault. On the one hand this is good, as its saved me shelling out £400 on new wheels unnecessarily. On the other, its a bit annoying, as I'm still left scratching my head over the source of the vibration. Brake calipers are the first suspect, but after that I'm going to have to start dismantling the driveshafts etc...
