Tracking/balancing?

[parrot of doom]

I've picked up a bit of a wobble at about 85-100mph on my Chim. Can anybody recommend somewhere good that I can take it to have this checked out? I reckon its probably just a weight thats slipped on a wheel. I can't tell if its front or back.

I'm not talking about a NASA centre with scientists, just a good place around Manchester that will just check things over.

I would have thought any old tyre fitter can check the balance for you. If a weight has dropped you should be able to see the patch of adhesive inside the rim where the weight used to be.
Last time I got a bit of high speed vibration it turned out to be the rear tyres going out of balance as they were very worn and nothing to do with weights dropping off.

In the past I've had a mild wheel wobble caused by a bits of gravel stuck to a rubber 'marble' on the inside of the rim. Can't think how either of them got there ...

Would be worth taking the front wheels off for a good clean, and checking for evidence of lost weights while you're at it.

Tom,
send me an email through my profile and i'll let you know who the best place is locally. A bit of a closed shop but I'll get you in.
