Wheel balancer and spoke weights...

[Pipster]

Looking to buy a wheel balancer like the one in the youtube clip ...Will be using it to balance the wheels on the SE which are fitted with rimlocks so it will need a fair bit of weight to set the wheels up ...

So I am trying to source some heavy spoke weights anyone know were I can buy them

Thanks

Have a look at the Clip very easy to balance your own wheels

I change my own tyres and use an Abba balancer which works on the same principle. One point that he missed is that you also need to try the wheel in different positions not just at 90 degrees from the heavy or light spot, if you do this it takes a little more time but you will end up with a better end result.

Try a motoX shop for spoke weights, I tend to use the stick on type as per the video.

Thanks Dave

Its the Abba setup I am looking to buy ...I will also use stick ons for fine tuneing the balance ...Just looking to fit some spoke weights to counter the weight of the rimlocks ...
