Hi All
I’ve recent picked up my Rail 5, super happy with it in the most part.
A new Eddy current on the front, a few tokens in the forks and we are getting somewhere.

The issue that I’m having is the wheels.
The dreaded zing from the brake rotors is the bain if my life.
Adjusted the calipers on the bike stand and no issues.
As soon as I’m riding, zing, zing bloody zing.
To me it feels like the wheels are flexing as it’s more pronounced when I’m changing direction or shifting my weight around.

I may have eaten a pie or two in my time so I’m no fly weight but what the hell.
Anyone else having the same problem??

Mine does the same thing. It’s definitely the wheels as I have now slapped a new 27.5 in the rear and only the front wheel now flexes.

the oem wheels are made of cheese.
