Im building a mini bike from a kit just mocking it up.After i got my azsa wheels on and rolled the back wheel and noticed it wasnt running straight at all about a half inch wobble out of line i can deal with it but is it the norm?And the front wheel isint much better.Thanks.

Are the tires on the rims??
If not,, that would ''definitely'' be way excessive in my book.
I always mock stuff up & check alignments ect. with just the rims first.
If those are split rims,, you might have to sand the mating surfaces here & there,, to try & get them trued up better.

yes the wheels and tires are built up.

 

[bugman64]

just thinking the bearings are not seated.

I would take the tires back off, & check again with just the rims.
That will tell you a lot.

 

[bugman64]

Post a photo of your bearings as they sit in the wheels/Rims. One photo for each side.

If the bearings are seated correctly, try clocking the wheel halves 1/3 apart and test it again. Put a small mark on each half so you know where you began, see if it gets better doing this. Also, are you looking at the sprocket, or the wheel itself. The sprockets tend to have runout as well.
