I read we need put weights on both sides equally.
Mine has on one side, but I read is to put on boths sides.
Nicely put together video. Well done and thanks for sharing!
thanks.
Nice job thank you
youre welcome. thanks for watching
Nicely done.
Why thank you
Very good 👍
Thanks
Awesome 👌
Thanks
Instead of cutting the weight in half you can spread the weights apart on the rim. This will average the effect of the weights and bring the wheel in balance.
never tried it that way. nice. you can also buy 1/8 oz weights, but I only had 1/4 oz...
@@nickbuchananracing I learned that when I had to balance a wheel on my road bike and I only had 2 of the same weights. 1 wasn't enough and 2 were too many. I spread them apart on opposite sides of the light spot and with a little T & E, I got it balanced.
That's called counter balancing you don't want to do that
Very good.....going to balance the spoked wheels on my 2020 Triumph T100.
Balance is a bit out since I fitted tyre pressure sensors on my wheel valves they weigh 10grams.
I dont under stand what the outer lock collars are for on these ballencers....the one at the rear of the cone.
Also my cones done seem to be perfectly centered.....wonder how I will go on with that.
Nick in the UK.
Think the extra locks are just redundant. If the cones arent centered that might be the fault of a bad part. This one is Bikemaster...its so so...not the best but pretty well made.
Nice video..... What do you think of beed weights???
I dont use them. Nothing against them, just always liked the stick on weights but I also always tape mine. My best recommendation, is get smaller sized weights than I did. 1/8 oz weight make it easy to find the sweet spot.
I want to buy one of these but the reviews on some complain about the “cones” being machined poorly or the steel rod not being straight. For the ones to which you link have there been any quality concerns?
@@r.williamcomm7693 not that im aware of. The bikemaster one seems pretty good.
@@nickbuchananracing Awesome thank you.
'05 R6 service manual talks about static balancing with the gear on. What bike does this go on?
This is a wheel for a ninja 300.
And, you should chuck those cheap valve caps... use proper ones with o'rings (metal or Schrader Pacific plastic.)
You think all those tire stickers or weightless, I would take them off i think you will before you Mont on bike
Isn't the hole point is accuracy with the least amount of weight
So, after finding the lightest section of the wheel and taping it, at the 12 O'clock position, then adding my weights, the wheel is balanced after the wheel stops at either the 9 0'clock or the 3 O'clock position ?? Great video, but this part was a little unclear.
its balanced when no matter where you position the wheel, it doesnt move or at least it JUST SLIGHTLY wants to move. The heaviest part of the wheel will fall to the 6 oclock position and adding weight to the other end at the 12 oclcok position offsets the heavy spot to make it evenly balanced. The wheel is considered balanced when you can move it to any spot in the rotation and it stays still. meaning that there is now no more heavy or light spot. each section of the wheel is equally weighted. Hopefully that helps.
@@nickbuchananracing Thank you
Does it matter what side of the wheel the weights go?
nope. doesnt matter at all.
i was just going to type this i came from working on cars and with car wheels it matters
@@8alakai8 I could be wrong but pretty sure it doesnt matter on bikes. I supose closest to the center is technically better...
@@nickbuchananracing It does matter depending on what bike you have, refer to the factory service manual. Some older Kawasaki's want you to split the difference between both sides.
@@williamfoster4268 that might be true that some manufacturers say that but I think its a waste of time. The difference it makes is never going to matter on a motorcycle wheel. If it helps think of this, so I ride on track mostly and most tracks have a different number of lefts or right. So usually by the end of the day or end of a race, one side is way thinner than the other from wear on that side(race tires wear quickly). You will never feel any imbalance even though its lighter or one side vs the other....not saying anyone is wrong just throwing that thought out there because its a real world example of riding on a tire thats different slightly left to right ( at 120+mph where you would expect to notice stuff like that)
