Member Contributer jimbob Posted May 13, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have seen the No-Mar cones for rear wheel balancing. Has anybody seen or come up with any other clever way to set up the rear wheel onto a conventional balancer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted May 13, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 13, 2015 Marc Parnes is an option. Not the cheap option you sound like you are after. It was a little difficult to figure out which cones I needed. I ended up emailing him a list of bikes that I needed the cones for (5-10 bikes) and he quoted the parts I needed. Balancer worked great. http://www.marcparnes.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer dgordon Posted May 14, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 14, 2015 Zupatun, brilliant suggestion on use of the jackstands. Can't believe I was looking for a solution when it was right in front of me. Cheers and thanks! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobtastic14 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I'll just put this here. I've had them for about two years now without any issue. -Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timm Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I put a piece of nylon in a lathe machine at work and made my own vfr-adaptor for my Marc Parnes-alike balancer. Works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted May 14, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 14, 2015 Let the tech in your local tyre shop car or bike do it, it that's only a couple of minutes & the wheel will be balanced dynamically in both directions. Home spindle will only balance in the round, not edge to edge. And it doesn't cost hardly anything ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer BonusVFR Posted May 14, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 14, 2015 Another Marc Parnes and Jack stand guy here. I have been using his rig for ten years on my MC tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
