Wheel weights on tyres
How important are these things?
Casue when I gave my bike a really good clean today I noticed that one of em has fallen of on the front wheel? Is that normally for them to do that? Do I need to take my bike to a tyre place and get a new one put on? Will this effect the handling of the bike? Oh the one on the offside of tyre is still there. |

Re: Wheel weights on tyres
If the wheel doesn't feel like it's wobbling when your ride it shouldn't be a problem.

check also that the mark on the tyre (think its a yellow triangle) is aligned with the valve, if so and there's no wobble then as arenalife says, you should be ok |

Re: Wheel weights on tyres
Not on all tyres, most though.
