Big shout out to Irish who mounted my new Avon Storm 3D XM on my rims Saturday morning! I got them back on the bike and was gingerly with them as they're new. I found a hands free wobble at 25mph that couldn't be felt with the hands on the bars (it never did this before.) I did some google-foo and found an article about aligning the forks with the axle and did that, and it's much better now. I noticed a slight wobble at 45, but other than that it seems to be smoother.
I used some ceramic beads for balancing and they seem to work well even with the old weights on the rim - I'm going to pull that lead off and see how it is.
Mounted at 66,750 mileage.
