I am looking at options for tire balancing. I am fairly new to trikes and know they ride differently than 2 wheelers. I recently had some problems corrected with my trike. There were some broken brackets and I had the drive shaft and suspension updated. I am now feeling a lot of lumpiness at 65 and above. It is constant and consistent even when pulling the clutch in. This may have been there all along but masked by other issues that I addressed with the updates. My steering head bearings feel good with no wobble at any speed. The lumpiness definitely feels like tire balance to me. The tires are all new. My RR has one stick on weight and my LR has TEN. My front tire has only one small stick on weight. I am inclined to have all 3 re-balanced just to know that imbalance is not the cause of lumpiness. I am looking at options of perhaps using Counter Act or Ride On balancing systems. I can also take the bike back to the dealer and have all 3 wheels removed and re-balanced with stick on weights. Looking for advice from those who have had experience with Ride On and Counter Act. They look to be my easiest and least expensive options. But once going down that rabbit hole I don't think I could do traditional balancing without undoing the beads or liquid. Suggestions and ideas welcomed. Thank you..... Jim
