When I saw these things @ an auto parts store I thought they would be a good idea to use on the max but was concerned about ( would they mess up the balancing?) so I decided to try a 40 psi and test it on the max.
I was able to use it only on the front 17 Kosman, it cleared the brake caliper by ~ 6mm or 1/8th inch, as for the rear Kosman it has not enough clearance to fit :damn angry: but they will fit the stock max wheels I think , check clearance of calipers.
A quick visual check before riding from cold is all it takes, I checked tire presser with an accurate gauge and confirmed the cap accuracy several times
I feel no vibration at all.
The most accurate way to ensure perfect balance would be to dynamicly balance the tire with caps on.
