If isn't broke then don't try and fix it.

We just balanced my rear rim with a new tire, took 1 whole rim weight. I don't see anything in the world being more effective even those POS anal beads some people use (dynabeads or whatever the hell those things are called).

 

We have alot of cruiser customers that use and swear by the Ride-On TPS stuff, but no sportbike customers that have tried it yet.

It's just I am about to drop a pretty penny on wheels and the thought of sticking weights on them makes me sick to my stomach lol. I am just really particular about my things as are most of you I'm sure hah. It was just a question that popped in my head. Thanks for the feedback guys.

 

They are put on with sticky material that just wipes off when you are done. They don't damage the wheel at all.

As far as your wheels go, have them clearcoated before you mount them.

 

I run Dynabeads in mine...
Done track days, the forum convention at the dragon, sereral runs to blood mountain and ft. mountain. They work perfect. Kent at GMD Computrack Atlanta turned me on to them. He swears by them for everything from race bikes down to dual sport.

I would either do wheel weights or dynabeads

I've considered going to dynabeads since for whatever reason I regularly throw the weights off of my wheels when riding at the track...

Have you tried duct tape over the weights onto a clean wheel?

 

Wow.

 

It could be the heat of the carbon wheels..those fkers get damn hot on track :fact

Other than that...:dunno

 

I use stick on weights and then a square piece of black gorilla tape.

 

Call me crazy but I used high density airsoft BB's in mine and it drives perfect. Obviously work the same way dyna beads work. Cost me 14 bucks for enough BB's to balance about 5000 tires lol

After reading around this is pretty common and it seems 2oz for the rear and 1 for the front is normal. I ran 228 .25 gram BB's in my back tire wich is 2oz.

 

I did the exact same thing my last tire change. I used 1.5 oz in the front and 2 oz in the back. No problems at all, other than at low speeds sometimes I have myself convinced I can hear the BB's rattling around

 

Dynabeads seem to be working good on my bikes IMO, no ugly weights to fall off or time spent balancing either. And as a bonus the tire stays balanced as it wears.

 

damn zo6 thats the funniest shit ive read in a long time

yeah,,,, if the ama guys, and motogp guys are using stick ons... that pretty much sums it up

 

I'm not a motorcycle racer, but I used to race Formula Mazda back in the day. We used stick on weights with duct tape. In my short career in Formula Mazda, I saw only one wheel throw a weight off.

The key is to get the wheels as clean as possible before sticking the weights on, then covering them well with the duct tape.

 

Stick-on weights covered with black Gorilla Tape for me. I had a weird experience with the DynaBeads clumping in the tires and causing a heavy spot so I'll never use them again.

 

Thanks guys I appreciate all the tips and advise I am not really worried about throwi g a weight as much as uglying up the wheel with " clutter as I see it haha. But stick on's it is.
