Never having balanced a tire, how does that balancer work? How do you know where to put the weights? Inquiring minds want to know

1. So very straight forward, you spin the tire and wait for it to settle. The heaviest point will always settle at the bottom. I take a wax stick or marker and mark the top most point.

2. I then spin it again 2 more times to make sure it constantly settles in the correct place.

3. I will the usually take 2 weights (1/4oz in my case) and BLUE TAPE THEM to the rim. (DO NOT ADHERE THE WEIGHTS YET INCASE YOU ADD TO MANY)

4. You then turn the top point (with the weights) 90° to the left or right (doesnt matter). Let it go and see if it moves.

- If the weights move lower towards the bottom than you added to much.
-If the weights moved towards the top then it's not enough weight.

5. You repeat the process as add another weight until you can move the the wheel in any and all positions without it moving out of place.

That's when you know the the tire is perfectly balanced because there is no heavy spot trying to shift to a lower point of gravity.

6. When you figure out how many weights was perfect you can then take them off the tape, remove the double sided tape plastic from the back of the weights. And adhere them perfectly center to that top mark you made previously.

***Its very important to center the line of weights to that mark you made at the top (the lightest point) to replicate your results without variation. So that when you go to finally adhere the weights in place it's still perfectly balanced.


I have a spare cb1100 front wheel, I'd be happy to make a write up with pictures for you guys I'd you deem necessary
