- Super easy fix to get rid of that tire wobble. This happens when a tire is very grippy and tight...it sometimes has a hard time seating all the way around the rim. With a little application of soapy water the tire will be able to fully seat properly and get you rolling without that silly tire wobble.

Had the same issue, searched on youtube, opened this video, watched 2min and solved my wobble tire in 5min. Thank you!
Great tip for people who struggle seating the tire. Two things: First, I do this with a spray bottle and you don't have to take the tire out of the rim. Just deflate it and spray soapy water with the bottle and inflate again and voila!. Second: it's always better to go tubeless :)
Does this method works with tubeless tires? I dont wanna contaminate the sealant with soapy water.
@@cardace2691 I usually seat the tires first and then add the sealant by the stem valve.
I mean, does deflating the tire and spraying soapy water to the tires contaminate the sealant inside?
Nevermind, i found out that the problem was in the tire bead itself. I guess its not fixable haha
@@cardace2691 so what did you do? Did you returned the tire or used just as it was. Does it affect your riding?
Sick and tyred (pun intended) of putting my trust in to TH-camrs whom I believe know better. Watched a video of one guy who told us to knead the tyre around the rim and then deflate it then knead the tyre and pump it. Tired again and again and again to no avail and thought I’d just ride the bike like a clown bike in the circus. Watched your video and came to the conclusion that I’ve always come to. The simple things are usually the best things. Now I have no wobble. Was a little scary as my pump doesn’t have a pressure gauge so pumped with faith. Two pops later, no wobble. Didn’t work for me with the soap suds first time or second… probably because I lost my nerves with the pump so I used WD40 and there you go. Sir you are a legend for keeping it real and keeping it simple, as life should be. Long may you reign. B
What a relief! I recently swapped the tires on my MTB and immediately felt that the bike was wobbly specially the rear end. I figured out that the tire wall was not aligned correctly along the rim but had no idea how to fix it. This video saved me a ton of time and frustration. 👍👍👍
Nice! Glad it worked for you!
You just saved me a ton of headache, stupid simple solution to my fat tire wobble! Works like a charm
DUDE!!!! Thank YOU!!!! How did I not know this?
I was so angry my 90$ a pop, Vee Huntsman fat tires were doing this! I was about to get different tires but so dreading replacing them again. My e-bike has a hub motor in each wheel and changing tires is a huge pain in the ace!
I deflated my tires, got a spray bottle with some soapy water, and went to town spraying it in the inner sidewall of the rim and along the bead. Inflated it and BAM! THESE TIRES ARE FINALLY SEATED ON THE BEAD!!! Of course it's going to rain for the next few days so I can't confirm the wobble is gone, but I can clearly see an even spacing now, and the ridge of the bead is where it belongs.
Bro, you are a lifesaver!
Thanks Dude! This saved me from another trip to the bike shop - one last frustrating detail with my first DIY bike build.
Great to hear! Love when this works!
I didn't have as much success with soapy water so I used cooking oil instead. That worked like a charm!
Thanks man this helped so much! I could not for the life of me figure out why my tires were doing that
Awesome! It works for some of us but if not then most likely the rim needs to be looked at or possibly some new rubber. We are one of the lucky ones!
I've been dealing with the tire wobble for so long...I tried this and IT WORKED !!!!!!!!!! THANKS !!!!!!
Nice tip! Will try this out in a minute. I saw with much pleasure that you use tyre levers to get the tyre back on the rim. I saw a (dutch) video in which the guy said: Whatever you do, DON't use tyre levers to put the tyre back on. But I, already for over 30 years, use my (plastic) tyre levers as there is now other way to get them on! I'll let you know if your trick worked for me, though I first want to try this without taking the tyre off. I'll deflate them and wet the tyre like that ;-).
EDIT:15 minutes later: Reseated 2 tyres perfectly! Didn't take them off the rim, but deinflated them, sprayed (someone below came up with that great idea) both sides and after that inflated to 50psi. The second tyre almost give me a heart attack, as it 'popped' very loudly, I thought I blew my tyre 🙂. Perfect advise, thank you very much!
Excelente vídeo. I think this is a very common issue and you address it in a great way
Thanks for the fix. I had the same issue - Strangely with Schwalbe tires as well. It had really gotten me down as I tried everything to fix it and still no luck. I also trashed my rim with metal tire levers (snapped all my plastic ones in the process) trying to get the tire on the rim in the first place. The wobble was just the kick in the n*ts that I didn't need.
Thank you! Just adding to the long line of people who solved the issue like this. No more bumpy ride on a smooth road.
Note - for me it only worked after I really soaked the tire with a soft brush. Using little water with a rag didn't work, nor did WD40 like some people recommended. Also there was no popping sound in my case.
It's a little weird that a bike technician told me my wobble was totally normal (apparently sometimes tires just come out like that from factory) and there's nothing I can do about it.
Fortunately he wasn't convincing me to buy a new tire, although I was seriously considering it. I rode with a bumpy wheel for about a year because it never occurred to me to lube the darn thing and pump it way above the recommended pressure, I was only pumping just a tad above it.
Now I feel stupid for both myself and that "technician" but I'm super glad I solved this.
Did exactly this with soap and water. (Dawn) after watching this video. The tire would not pop even after overinflating... So then I used WD-40 and poppow! Worked like a charm.
Thanks mate, helped me out big time.
That’s what I was going to mention, wd stays lubed longer
Wd40 to the rescue - thanks for the tip, lifesaver haha!!
Whatever it takes
Dude, you’re a life saver. Was about to trash the damn tires. Thank you.
Awesome! Yeah i hear ya lol was in the same boat!
Saved me from hours of frustration!
Thanks 👍
Glad it helped! Wish i figured it out sooner haha!
Thanks for sharing this. First tyre took a few tries, second first try straight. Also used it for getting the tires off and on easier. Gonna remember this!
Glad it worked!
Love this I've recently installed some mitchelin dh22 and I've got tyre wobble no matter what I did nothing would stop it will be trying this method
Thanks you have a new subscriber
Love the success stories! Glad the soapy water trick straightened them out!
This tutorial saved me! Learned something new today. Thanks a lot!
This is what I had an issue with. Forgot about this going to MTB from dirtbike. Definitely a good reminder.
This worked great, and was super easy! thanks for making an easy to follow and brief video on this!!
Needed this video. Got some new tires today and both tires have this same problem.
I have this problem with WTB tires. Received a warranty replacement and same issue. I also did this soapy water hack and no avail. My tire is seated properly with even line markings throughout the rim on both sides.
Awesome tip! I was struggling with the same thing!
Good video man! Saved me some trips and frustration!
Thanks! Yeah I wish I knew about this quick fix earlier...I was going crazy haha
This dude is a beast! Quality video.
Nice equipment love this bike....
Now I know what I gotta do. Thanks Bro!
Army Strong!
thank the lord for your video just got my Wobble tire fixed because of you thank you
Heck yeah I love hearing when it works out! Glad it worked!
Thanks for this video ! Just changed a rear tube and couldn't figure out why my tire was wobbly. Made my day brother !!
Nice! love love love when this little hack works for us MOUNTAIN BIKERS!
Thanks so much dude, we almost took my bike to a service shop and it would of cost a lot more than some soap!
Glad I could help! This one was a head scratcher for me until I figured this hack out!
Worked a treat!
Nice one!!! I had the same problem with 20x4.0 fatbike tyre - this soapy water trick helped a lot - thanks👍. I just deflated and used medium size paintbrush to give a good dose of soapy water on the tyre and rim. Also even though I over inflated I did not get the "pop" so ended up half inflation and massaging the tyre inward and away with from the rim with my palms to get it to pop in place. I did this all the way around on both sides to get the mounting line as even as possible.
Awesome video! Seems to have fixed my problem with almost no effort.
Perfect!
Ok. You are right to do it about the beads. But maxxis simply wobbly even the beads are already out.
Nice information, i thought my wheel was bent haha. But i noticed i was a tire. Thanks for the help
Me too😂
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video it was really helpful
Exactly the info i needed thank you
Finally, thanks my dude!
Worked for me on the 2nd try just added more soapy water to the uneven area 😊 thank you
Worked first time! Thanks for the video.
Great video! Thank you for your help! worked like a charm!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the tip! Saved myself from a mechanic handing me a $49.95 receipt.
Excellent! lOVE SAVING $$$$
Ya had this problem too. I just deflated tires a bit and put some chain oil on finger and ran it on the rim both sides and that worked.
Great idea. Ill give this shit next time and make a video!
The method in the video did not work for me, but lubing up both sides of the rim did. Thanks a lot for the tip man!
Thanks going to try this. I have some slime filled tubes with new tires and though that was the culprit.
Thanks Dude. I actually didn't use any soap. I tried first by manually manipulating the part of the tire that was not seating well and pumped it up to the max psi. It slipped right in. It was a gravel tire.
It’s the little things in life.
Well done on the video
Thank you!
Keep up the great content my guy! Also do you ever ski? If so maybe you could do skiing videos... just a thought.
Winter Fat Biking, Snowboarding, and just picked up skiing! Skiing is super fun and easy to grasp....big fan!
I have a question if i do it for the first time and it doesnt pop on the bead for the first time do i do it again and another is happening with the tire it makes my wheel slow whenever i spin it
When I change tires usually get the beads pretty much where they need to before inflating, normally pop and they are on. Any tricky tires I have used talc before, same idea as soapy water.
Really appreciate this tip..works really well..thanks much
Great content!! Great video!! Surprised your not tubeless
Thanks. I didn’t know what I was gonna do 😅
A very nice and informative video! Instead of soap and water I use cooking oil. That is the only thing that I do differently.
thanks for sharing i have continental tubeless cross king tires. and hope i can fix the wobble.
Did it work?
@@NorthCountryMTB did not I think I have both defective continental cross king tires
Did the trick. Thank you!
So much frustration, such an easy fix :')
Hi, is the tire on end video true ?I had Schwalbe MM too, first time doing tubeless and best I can do is like yours on the end of video slightly wooble, but sits perfect. Thanks
Wheel had a slight wobble
Soapy water - I love it. In the last 20-some years, I spent lots of precious time "massaging" wobbly tires into place. Your cure works instantly! Thank you so much.
Awesome! Happy it worked!
Thanks for the help!
My tire is completely twisted. I tried to play with the spokes to balance it and it seems to not twist back inbalance
Such an easy, simple, and quick fix!
I tried everything even with 2 sets of different tyre's on my HALO T2 rims couldn't for life of me get them to run true until i pumped them up to 80psi then pop they seated properly then i just deflated them to the correct pressure
Does longer spokes affects wheels to wobble?
I'm still frustrated.
My rims are true within 0.006" lateral per dial indicator. I've always used dish soap to lube bead. Tire rings are concentric to rims all the way around, both sides, on all 4 tires of our his n her's MTBs. But all 4 of our Conti Rubans have a lateral wobble one place each tire.
What is the industry expected tolerance for how consistent tread centerline is to the beads?
I've never seen tire wobble this pronounced on tires that are concentric to the rim.
Had same issue. Resolved. Thanks.
Awesome slippers too
Tried this method and got my tire perfectly seated on both sides without even trying. It's still wobbly as hell though. :-( I might have defective/poorly made tires. Continental RaceKing 29 x 2.0. Rear rim is true.
Is that amount of tire wobble at @2:49 normal, or is his rim maybe out of true a bit?
Great tip. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
2:25 Once the frame settled (watching the axle points in the background) there was still a large deflection... did you have a bent rim as well (spokes etc)?
BTW Viewers... If you have a wobbly tyre it can be the rim tape if it has shifted when fitting the tyre. If the tape gets under one sidewall it can cause a deflection.
You can also have a sidewall failure. (See this failure at 40 secs on mark.. th-cam.com/video/PUq8SVRxrVI/w-d-xo.html)
does soapy water effect the tire sealant.....that is if your tubeless?
Thank you Brother🥰🥰
so there is no way to get 100% straight aligned tyre right???
Just purchased a set of maxxis tires how do you determine the direction of the tire when mounting on rims
Thx
Tire should have an arrow pointing to rotation!
Thanx man ! I will try this tommorow on my new e mtb
did it work?
Good luck!
@@NorthCountryMTB didn't work lol and I blew my inner tube from over inflating lmao
back to the bike shop
Í haver this same problem, but even with this, the tire wont seat correctly into the wheel, I Need help
Awesome man!!!
Thanks!!
Can I do anything with a defect tire? My rim is trued and I can see the bead line consistent all around. Swapped front to back, same issue. For now, my best option is to mount it in the rear and avoid messing up with the steering.
See if you can contact the manufacturer
My mans running tubes.. ballsy 😀
Just on the DH rig haha!
Nice....works well.
what bad can happen if i ride with a bit wobbly tires??
How much tire wobble is acceptable before it is to be considered a tire fault? 1 mm? 2 mm?
Brand new tire done the same thing still not working. 😭 Is it maybe my tire is defective?
So will this work on my fat tire e-bike? I assume it will. Just got the bike put it together and the tire is a little wobbly I don't think it's the rim but I can never get that pop that people talk about, what I do see on the sidewall the seam is out further than at other part's of the tire, do I want that same out of the rim all around or inside I'm never sure about that I've never had wobbly tires really other than the one I just got any help would be great thank you
Yeah I would try the soapy water and with it being a fat tire you might have to pump even more air in It to get the bead to seal. Hope it works out for you!
@@NorthCountryMTB thank you so much I really appreciate your reply
Thanks dude!
Happy to help!
gotta try it on my road bike, I took a hit and I thought my wheel was bent but the tyre is the issue, just won't sit properly
Yeah give it a go before buying a new tire or wheel! Hopefully it works!
@@NorthCountryMTB didn't seem to work but I think the tyre got damaged heavily and there is no fixes for that
tnx anyways
Can confirm this worked for me. I didn't even take the wheel off the bike. Just turned that baby upside down, deflated and ran some soap around the rim. Inflated and done. Fyi this wobble is more common on folding tires than ones with a wire bead in my experience.
Great video. My LBS gave me the same advice and it worked. But my question is: Is it ok that some of that water is now in there between the tube and tire? Just wondering.
Should not have any issues with a little water in there. If it doesn't evap it will just be moist. Have not had any issues with mine!
Some report an internal rust issue. On one video the guy just used straight soap on his fingertips and wiped a small amount directly around the area that was not seating, thus no excess water floating around inside.
Thank you!
Welcome!
Thanks bro!
No problem!
man ive been losing it over this wobble and the whole time it was literaly just my tire not set to the bead correctly. wow im so dumb lolol
Great video!
thank-you
Thank you
I already did the popping the wire bead onto the rim method but after that the inner tube will be punctured. What should I do? (BTW my tire is a maxxis ikon wired version newly installed but it's a wobbly tire)
i had the same trouble only way to do it is find your inner tiger and do it by hand , its very hard but i did it .
I tried this method only on one side cause my issue was on one side only when that side seated I saw the problem went to the other side so lesson learned add the soapy water on both sides even if the problem is on one side..good video tho .
Great tip! Yeah id do both sides while you are it rather having to loop back. Glad it worked!
It looked like you put the soapy mix into the rim as well. So soapy mix on both inside and outside of tire?
Yeah won’t hurt it. I rode her hard all season and had no issues.
Works an absolute treat. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Hey dude, my tire seems to be on the rim nicely however I still get the wobble any tip on what I should do?
At that point id say its a tire defect or maybe the Wheel isnt 100% tru?
My tire hopped the rim and my tube popped right at 50psi! Cool!
Are all tyres 100% straight?
