Why does the wheel need that many wheel weights? Are they all small sizes?

[redrocket29]

[Ashy]

I like them :)

[redrocket29]

cheers boss !

[J$£5GTT]

id stick some silver gaffer tape or put a bead of clear silicone on them weights,stop then flying off.
:agree:

[redrocket29]

might use some no more nails what do u think

[J$£5GTT]

might use some no more nails what do u think


er....well if you had the wheel off then maybe you could use it behind the weight so you wont see it,but not ideal stuff really,clear silicone is your friend.
:)

[redrocket29]

sorry mate i thaught u was joking not many people are being serious tonight. i never really noticed the weights till some one said. can i ask u some thing about bleed valves

[boysie]

your brakes are too big!:wasntme:

[newbstar*]

Paint them in white,and then get the calipers done in red.:agree:

I'd hazard a guess they actually thought if I use the larger weights they'll hit the caliper and the owner wouldn't be too happy about that IMO, unlike the said nobs who didn't think about that when balancing my wheels

[redrocket29]

so they rubbed on your callappers then when they did it?

[redrocket29]

Paint them in white,and then get the calipers done in red.:agree:
the wheels in white did u mean?

[newbstar*]

the wheels in white did u mean?
