It took a couple orders of dyna beads and many air pressure adjustments, but I've got them riding very well. They feel like much heavier bikes now. I feel safer riding, and they are just much more enjoyable.
I have 2 oz. of dyna beads in each tire. Front tires on both scooters are out of round, so they still have a slight bounce even with 2oz. of beads inside, but much better.
I have found that even putting 10% less than max in the tires(29F and 27R) is too much air and still gives a rough ride. I found 27 psi. front and 26 psi. rear to ride much better. I may still go a little bit lower in the front due to the out of round condition. I found Pirelli tires for the front on www.bikebandit.com for $46 each, so I have a couple of those on order. Picked up a face mask for this winter while I was at it
Thanks for all the help you guys have given me to get my trikes set up and riding smooth!
