I'm back to re-balancing my front tire. I've been getting a slight wobble at around 45 mph. Nothing major and the bike rides fine at higher and lower speeds. When I remove my hands the bars go back and forth by about 1/2" or less.
My question...judging by these two pictures, if you were facing the front of the bike looking towards the rear, what tread pattern do you think should go from top down? I'll take a few answers before I post how the arrow is aimed.
Anything else concerning the wobbling is fine. I did have the tire dot off from the valve by about 6 inches so maybe that has something to do with it being off-balance. Rear wheel is fine, chain in spec and aligned. Also, maybe a dumb question but I can't find any answers on the web...on a motorcycle tire, does it matter what side the weights are on? I've always put them on the side where the valve stem is pointing out (I use the 90 degree stems).
