Wheel Weights
 

Hi
Just noticed that my wheel balancing weights have dissapeared.
There is still the sticky pad thing there but no weight
Should i take the wheel back to the place where i got it from for re balancing or not bother
Only just got the tyre about 1k miles ago
What ya reckon?

Re: Wheel Weights
 

I'd take it and get it checked just for peace of mind myself

Re: Wheel Weights
 

Jerry, are you sure that they didn't remove them when you had a new tyre fitted and placed some elsewhere....

Re: Wheel Weights
 

Or removed completely

Some tyres just happen to be balanced without the need for weights

Re: Wheel Weights
 

The guy did clean the wheel when he put it on but to be honest i cannot remember if there were any weights or not.
does not seem to be affecting the rear wheel
i will keep it going and see what happens

I might as well have a blast this afternoon then

OK guys, now youve got me worried!! Forgive me for being a newbie (and a girlie) but ive never heard of wheel weights before, however i do have sticky pads on my rear wheel where there obviously used to be something attached that isnt there any longer. Is this something i need to act upon or worry about?? Ive just checked and the front has 20g on but the back just has the remains of a sticky pad. Sorry for being a bit ignorant but we all have to learn somehow and this forum is rapidly becoming my oracle!! :-)

If you can't feel anything when your riding, don't worry about it.

Re: Wheel Weights
 

im not an expert but i would agree that if you can't feel anything then dont worry. The mobile fitter that put my tyres on weighted mine but did say that really you could get away without them unless your getting up to serious speeds.

Re: Wheel Weights
 

Panic over then, thanks guys xx

Re: Wheel Weights
 

Bah beaten to it by the Stig. Glad panic is over :D

Re: Wheel Weights
 

Panic all over
Now vibrations coming from the back wheel so all good

Re: Wheel Weights
 

I assume you mean No and not Now. :)

Re: Wheel Weights
 

That is correct no vibrations
All good
High speed is fine too and corners too
Now how do i stop my toe sliders hitting the deck and making me all nervous on corners hmmmm
