Does anyone have any insight/experience with reducing vibe on a mid-ring bimetal? I’m not worried about it being smooth, but the vibe is pretty heavy as is. I’ve found ways to adjust outer and inner rings, but I’m lost for mid-rings lol. Any comments/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I believe the rings are slid on from the bearing side when assembly so pushing the rings toward the outside could help. You could place one half of a yo-yo in a longboard wheel, make sure it is on a flat surface and push down in the cup and that might help. I haven’t done this with a mid weight bimetal, but I have done this with an outer rim bimetal that slid on from the bearing side and it helped.
