Rear Wheel balance

<< < (3/3)

Rick,
Well, it really very simple. I use thick plumbing solder and wrap it tight. It will come "loose" but will not come off. The trick is to keep it from slinding down from the rim untill you are finished balancing the wheel. Then after that the centrifugal force will keep it at the rim end of the spoke, which is where they need to be to balance the wheel any ways. Some times when you push your bike you will hear them sliding up and down the spoke. I have never had a piece come off. And I have checked the wheels after installing a new tire, and they usually seem to be fairly balanced.

Later,
Wig
