Shinko tire mounting

vince · 11-01-2020, 06:49 PM

Hey all just had a local shop that does pretty good work mount a set of shinko 777s. Front tire rotation arrow is pointing the wrong way. The tire is sold by shinko as a front tire. They should remount it correctly right? 2007 nomad. Thanks

Is it possible you put the wheel in the forks the wrong way round or is that not possible ?

vince · 11-01-2020, 07:10 PM

I'm not sure

redjay · 11-01-2020, 08:14 PM

Did you put the wheels on the bike or did the shop do it ?

vince · 11-01-2020, 08:28 PM

The shop did all the work

nomadbob · 11-01-2020, 08:30 PM

I'd call them and bring it back.

I agree with nomadbob. The tire needs to rotate in the correct direction. Make the shop fix it.

107.954984KG.That's before a gallon or so of Stella Artois, and an XL Kebab.

That would be 4.54609 litres or so, and a kilogram of Kebab
