[Discussion] ~ Tyres Related Issue

Bro, just to clarify, wheel balancing is not a 'must have' for small bikes because you will not be travelling at speed above 150km/h most of the time.

You will not feel much differences during normal riding unless your rim had been damaged.

Tires replacement + wheel balancing for all your bikes will only incur unnecessary cost to customers.

We usually only recommend class 2 sport bikes owners to do wheel balancing after tires replacement it is important for them as they will be travelling at high speed when in Malaysia.

By the way, our tires are not that cheap either. Quality products comes at a price. We try our best to bring quality products to our customers at reasonable prices.

How do u noe if u never ask? If i say i always travel at high speed in malaysia, then do we "small" bikes need to do balancing?

Then class 2 bikes rim all damage? Or y not u tell me wat cons if our rim is not damaged but still want to balance our tires?

So u assume we never travel at high speed? Did u ask ur customer first before u answer tat especially for us "small" bikes no need balancing?

If there are shops tat selling cheaper tires meaning their tires no quality or imitation???

 

Looking forward for ur answer. No offence. Btw i havent patron ur shop yet, but heard good reviews, good service given by u to customers. So convince me pls.

Hi Adyra, my replies are in blue.

 

How do u noe if u never ask? If i say i always travel at high speed in malaysia, then do we "small" bikes need to do balancing?

If you are travelling at high speed most of the time, please go and have your wheels balanced.

 

Then class 2 bikes rim all damage? Or y not u tell me wat cons if our rim is not damaged but still want to balance our tires?

Nope. I did not mentioned that. The cons is the extra money paid out for wheel balancing.

Yes. We provide wheel balancing services to our regular customers who need them. Errmm..i think wheel balancing is not the only services that we provide, your 'service' defination might be a bit too narrow in this issue

 

So u assume we never travel at high speed? Did u ask ur customer first before u answer tat especially for us "small" bikes no need balancing?

Its up to individuals, if an individual insist of balancing the wheels even thought he is riding a honda wave, we have no say. Its his bike. We can only give our advise.

 

If there are shops tat selling cheaper tires meaning their tires no quality or imitation???

Please read again: 'Quality products comes at a price.' There are defintely shops able to sell the same quality products at a lower prices than us. There are no references to 'no quality' or 'imitation' as mentioned by you.

not to flame u guys...anyway I'm ur regular customer of ur shop since u guys started operation....but that is the problem with most bike shops in sg.... very poor service even from the distributors..... for car tyre shops they normally do balancing the wheels once they change tyres and cars have 4 wheels and can u imagine a stock Kia Picanto running 150? So why they still balance those wheels? Since bikes have only 2 wheels it should be more logical to do balancing... btw bro don't need to run 150 to know ur wheels need balancing...

No problem bro WingZer0, we welcome any feedback, be it +ve or -ve.

End of the day, if an individual feel that his wheels need to be balanced, can just go ahead and have it balanced. There should not be any issues.

[Leftlegged]
