Hello to all listening. I have a stupid question. Yes there are dumb questions but I have a stupid one. Im building a Vintage Huffy Tandem right now. It's finished except for the seats and one other thing. I bought some tires that were 26" x 2.5. They are cream color and look awesome on the red rims with a black frame. Problem is that no matter what I do they just dont seem to be lined up correctly so the wheel can rotae without rubbing.
Now i have seen on some of the post's here bikes with huge tires with almost zero clerance. So the stupid question is....what could be causing this issue...other than they are too fat. It just seems that the rim is crooked..yet it rotates really straight. The rims are brand new. Is it possible that the rim can lean to one side furtehr than the other yet still rotate straight?? If i have it lined up so it doesnt rub on the top left side..the bottom right side seems to be off.....so i guess it is crooked??? What can I look for??
