I'm impressed. As I posted earlier, I gave up on trying to break loose
the bead on one of my wheels, and took it to a tire shop. Funny about the
vibration going away. One wouldn't think an "out of balance" inner tube
would make much of a difference. Or perhaps you somehow rotated the tire
on the rim (accidentally acheiving better balance)? Or maybe just put
different wheels back on the front?
Thomas Pokrefke had this to say:
