#963574 east bay rumbler (User) Not tip toeing threw life to arrive at death safe Expert Boarder Posts: 475 Re:Another bad customer service JP cycle. 1 Year, 10 Months ago   I'm just curious why you bought a tire seven months ago and just mounted it yesterday? Don't take it personally, I'm just a bit confused.... I need a tire, it's bought and mounted in no more than a week....   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #963579 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:Another bad customer service JP cycle. 1 Year, 10 Months ago   east bay rumbler wrote: I'm just curious why you bought a tire seven months ago and just mounted it yesterday? Don't take it personally, I'm just a bit confused.... I need a tire, it's bought and mounted in no more than a week.... I had the extra money to buy it (birthday money). I was working on the Eagles bike so dropping everything I had going on with it and tearing into another job when I wasn't going to ride much more for the year wasn't that important. I just figured do it during spring maint. When I buy a tire I don't wait until the threads are showing on the old one so whatever riding I did until I put the bike to rest for the winter was still on a safe tire.   Logged     Last Edit: 2016/04/23 19:30 By davej.   dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #963586 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter! Platinum Boarder Posts: 6961 Re:Another bad customer service JP cycle. 1 Year, 10 Months ago   I assume you checked to make sure the tire was seated correctly on the rim. Did you spin balance it or use beads or sauce?   Logged     The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #963588 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:Another bad customer service JP cycle. 1 Year, 10 Months ago   It seated properly and balanced with Rideon.   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #963592 MidwestMike (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4779 Re:Another bad customer service JP cycle. 1 Year, 10 Months ago   That sucks. Even if you put it on at the end of last season, the warranty still goes away as the bike sits in storage. Boats, bikes (up north), sleds and other seasonal stuff. Even with a one year warranty you only really get a few months. I hope Shinko takes care of you, but that doesn't do anything for the trip. (This wouldn't be an issue if the plan was to deliver the Eagles bike on two wheels... )   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #963599 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:Another bad customer service JP cycle. 1 Year, 10 Months ago   MidwestMike wrote: That sucks.

If you sold someone something that 'could' deteriorate over a 7 month period (either by storage location, or chemicals, or weather, or pressure, etc.), would you be willing to fully guarantee it? Like say you sold your bike to someone and they wanted to bring it back in 7 months and said now it has a noise or vibration in the engine (even though they stored it all winter), would you give their money back? Again, just sayin'. I have never had that happen, but I have had good luck with Denniskirk.com where I've bought 90% of my tires. --   Logged     [img size=150][/img][img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #963717 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:Another bad customer service JP cycle. 1 Year, 10 Months ago   Don't buy tires off the shelf at a dealership where they are siting on a rack under fluorescent light. This is improper storage and damages a tire. IF you keep a new tire for any length of time, put it in a heavy lawn trash bag to block UV and ozone, and keep it below 76 degrees. It is ok to store on it's tread, or on it's side, but NEVER hang it on anything that puts pressure on the bead. Sorry for your difficulties Dave. It's not mine, but I'd try to do a traditional spin balance on it. Throw it across a set of folding chairs with the axle propped up on each one and see if it shows good balance.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #963736 brianmac (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2180 Re:Another bad customer service JP cycle. 1 Year, 10 Months ago   I have a problem for Dunlop once Dunlap said take it to one of our dealers for inspection turns out the tire was fine I had the same experience change my front tire and the bike hasn't been the same since could be steering head bearings rear wheel bearings etc etc don't jump to conclusions that the tire is bad I am still chasing stability issue I'm one of my Roadies going to try to tweak Titan steering head bearings just a little bit more see what happens   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #963740 G_Conway (User) ScrewBird Platinum Boarder Posts: 1121 Re:Another bad customer service JP cycle. 1 Year, 10 Months ago   If we are to believe what Dave said, and I see no reason not to, the only change was that of the tire. It also came on at speed. IMO tire, brakes or mounting issues have to be the problem. Since Dave is reporting a visual indication of "rubber bubble" I would say that it is most likely the tire.   Logged     Gerry   The administrator has disabled public write access.
