mounting but not balancing???

Yeah I got the means to mount the tires but no balancer

 

balancers are pretty cheap

 

i just bought a balancer but before i did that i balanced the tire/wheel using the axel and set of jackstands, the results were the same

the accuracy of that method however depeneds highly on the condition of your wheel bearings

 

I was planning to use dynabeads but have no time to go buy them

Closest place that sells em Is half hour from Chicago

 

stanimal does it too.

 

And I have an awesome collection of brooms and jackstands to get that balance just right .

Actually , when you get close , it will work . Only very experienced people can tell the difference . I get a lot of people that dont have any or dont want any weights at all.

 

have you used those before?
i still really dont understand how they work, and it seems to me that they just add additional unsprung/ rotating mass to the wheel assy...

It has to to do with the axis of rotation changing.

 

I used a broom stick and 2 chairs in a pinch. When we got back from Deals gap I balanced them the normal way and the rims were dead on. a $500 balance was the same as a $5 broom.

 

basically the same as the jackstands method


whats with the single rubber glove lol reminds me of CPs pic where his friend only has 1 shoe

 

God damn that was a good trip Uncle Steve.

 

:1pimp

 

Looks like the "before" picture from a Propecia commercial. :lmao:

 

lol u ass

 

I first thought the pic was a joke of how many blank does it take

 

Nice improvising stevo...

A regular balance stand works fine....that's what Dunlop and everyone else uses at the track....and your going 190+ on a superbike.

Actually, anything like stevo demonstrated works fine as long as it doesn't cause the bearing to bind. Like Jason said...if your bearing suck and are sticking in spots its going to throw off the balance.

 

you get this done yet?

 

I'll balance this dudes tires on 12 stacked up beer cans side by side with a tree branch running through the wheel.

I should get a picture of that shit actually. See! Now I'm thinking here in the hotel room.

 

im not buying the dynabead concept.

it only takes 5 minutes and a $100 balancer to do it right.

 

sometimes it take 10 mins:lmao:

 

having both hands working might help...

 

I can see why Grasshopper might think the broomstick won't work. The pics are deceiving, almost looks like the broomstick was sagging in the middle and that the wheel would not be able to spin freely. I took the pics and that wheel was "rolling" just fine.

 

Nice. So the broom stick was the same diameter of the axle? A precision broom stick. I love it.

 

This is the main reason I keep it in my race trailer. I plan on buying a static balancer because I hate lugging the chairs around. It takes up too much space.

 

I just spin the wheel on my fingers. No need for all that expensive equipment. :laughing:

 

^^^And that's why you have no business

 

what are you talking about jarod he said he had a bunch of people in there lookin at that sv

 

Trkyfugger drive your house over here and take a look. :lmao: It's pretty packed right now.

 

im just joshin lol
