SIP Tubeless

Postby steve_lawrence » Tue Jul 16, 2024 8:48 pm

My 1965 Li Special has SIP tubeless rims fitted. I ordered them from a well known supplier complete with tyres fitted and a scooter/motorcle repairer friend swapped them for the original rims. Soon after, I was taken ill and had to relinquish my licence, which after three years I’ve got back. It’s only now that I’ve noticed that the wheels sit off centre towards the left side. The scooter seems to ride OK but was wondering if these rims should sit dead centre? There’s probably too much time gone by to contact the supplier.
Any comments would be appreciated.

That’s normal Steve due to the difference in thickness between the alloy rims and the steel ones
