Member Contributer tsmitty Posted April 17, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2023 Ok, I've been out of the game for a long time, when I had the front tire mounted on my 86 700 (87 Hurricane 17"} the dude said they use Balance Beads to balance tires? Is this a thing? Say it aint so! No but are they any good? Back in the day we had the jell in a bottle, but I don't think it was ok on the track. Are balance beads ok on the track? You'all must git a kick out of how this broke sport tourer/privateer hobbled together his bike...well hell I'm lovin it. None of my old hacks have come-un-done through the years! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer DannoXYZ Posted April 17, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2023 They are around and they do work. I don't like the second or two after hitting bump dislodges them and wheel has to re-balance and reach equilibrium again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted April 17, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2023 I static balance my wheels on my wheel stand. Usually takes me about 3 or 4 rounds til it's stopping randomly. No issues, tested 130mph+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer tsmitty Posted April 17, 2023 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2023 yeah, I think I'll use stick-on's. So I'll spend today looking for my set of cones..that sucks.. Nothing else to do, waiting on some parts to put my forks back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
