If you use rim locks and want to ride on the road these are your best friend.
Wheel Weights / Spoke Weights, 19gm to 62gm
- You simply use a 2.5mm Allen Key to tighten the weights to the spokes and then re-check your wheel balance.
- If the weights go to the top either put a bigger weight on or add another smaller weight until the wheel sits statically on your balancer.
- A typical balance will use 3 x 40mm/50 grams weights for the rear and 3 x 15 or 19-gram weights for the front
- This will change if you have heavy rim locks.
- 30 gram weights are 16mm diameter x 25mm long
- Made from brass and chromed for good service life

HANDY TIP:
- If you don't have a wheel balancer get a couple of 20-litre drums, put the axle through the wheel and then sit the wheel between the drums.
- Generally, the rim lock is the heavy spot, rotate the wheel so the rim lock is 90 degrees from the ground,
- Let the wheel rotate and when it stops apply the weights to the top of the rim,
- Repeat the process until the wheel sits static, then you are ready to rock.
