What if my rima allready gor weights on it. Im putting new tires and I know im going to need to balance the tire....what about those beads I heard u put in thru the valve. Supoosivly as the wheel spins the beads move to the momentum and balances it as it moves...anyone try this and how much cant find it

@jettastreetracer basically, you want to first balance the wheel by itself, that's why you are probably seeing a 10g weight on the rim... and then balance the rim with the tire mounted on it, and that's probably the stick on weights you see on the rim....

don't waste your money on the magic beads...

You are badass!

[LeDude00]

always read the accompanying DIY document for the video, I always first balance the wheel and then the wheel with the tire on it...

[Moroccan4lifeone]

how do u balance the tire just by spining it?

[LeDude00]

@Moroccan4lifeone You can make s simple tire balancer out of a rod that spins freely on two bearings.

I use a motorcycle Wheel Balancer from Harbor Freight, works very well and very affordable.

@LeDude00 i understand but what if the wheel is unbalanced dont u need to put weighs on it on either side and how would u know where exactly to put them?

[LeDude00]

@Moroccan4lifeone You balance your wheel first by itself and put a rim weight where necessary,

you then balance the wheel/tire together and add stick on weights where necessary

you balance the wheel/tire by finding the high low spots on the stand, I think the video has section that shows that.
