Now check your rims. Aluminum rims especially 'bent' easily. Now with 'straight' axle & rim fit the tyre. Tyres have run out like you cannot believe for the price. With the chain off you can fit the wheel in 3 different positions to get the truest run of the tyre. bent axle helps here. Having done all of this just watch the axle flex as the driver sits in the kart, especially 70 Kg adults!

Having done all this checking after a while you just bolt the things on and go racing, especially with park ferme tyre regs. a la S1. Try and start with something straight.

There's an expression for this circle of events, but it escapes me. Could it be racing.
