Pugwash Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Seriously? Little ceramic beads that automatically sort out balance? These the tyre weight equivalent of footwankers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaycee Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 The explanation appears plausible, but... Plus, wouldn't you just keep stopping to check "that clicking noise" from the wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porter_jamie Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 well, the way to check it would be to get a wheel and tyre balanced properly on the balancer, then add this stuff to see if it alters it, and the start adding loads of balance weights in one place to see if it can cancel out the intensional out of balance weights you added or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilchicken0 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 This is from merica innit .... I'd imagine the claims they make are going to be for a balanced wheel against and unbalanced one. Wheel weights don't really corrode and are stuck on with adhesive so the only real advantage I can see is aesthetic. I'd say you will accept the sight of a wheel weight or if you ride a tractor you'll just use ones shaped like skulls cos you're hard ... Just get your wheel / tyre balanced.

lorenzo Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Balancing a wheel involves a long skinny screwdriver, 2 axle stands, 10 minutes and some 20p weights. This way works, without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
