Re: Rear wheel balance
Nah not really you can do static balance with axle stands.

Re: Rear wheel balance
moot point anyway, tyre/wheel combo is still not holding air after the repair... Anyone got a giant wheel shaped bucket of water I can borrow?

Re: Rear wheel balance
Bath is big enough, you don't need to do the whole wheel at once. Or a big cardboard box with a really big binbag in it

Re: Rear wheel balance
Cheers for the watery suggestions lads! My favourite so far is flinging it in the forth and clyde canal with a rope attached for easy retrieval
 WOOHOO! I've never been so glad to find a panel pin in my tyre!  Means the wheel repair is probably OK...  This may be a silly question, but can bike tyres be repaired/patched/inner tube fitted? If so would you recommend it? (The tyre only has 800 miles or so it). Last edited by Philbo; 26-10-08 at 03:20 PM. |

Re: Rear wheel balance
You can have them plugged from inside or you can use an external one.

Re: Rear wheel balance
Cheers Chris. Is it something you would recommend/do with your own tyre? Or is it a better idea to bite the bullet and buy a new tyre?

Re: Rear wheel balance
I've done both, internal repair is safer. It's a judgement call but how much is left on the tyre?
