[Healeys] wheel weights

I’ve been racing my 100M for over 15 years using 72 spoke MSW wheels.   They
are balanced using the ½” square sticky weight.   These are held in place
with the addition of a chrome tape approximately  1” wide.   I’ve never lost
a weight in all the time I’ve raced.

That is for static balancing only. Dynamic balancing requires weights on or
near the rims by either clamping (damage to the rims) or sticking (weights
becoming unstuck). Before sticking on the weights (self sticking using
double side tape) it is good practice to clean/degrease the wheel rims
thoroughly, not often done in most shops. This will suffice in most cases. I
have only encountered the loss of a stuck balancing weight once in many
years.

I've got a few ideas of my own, but I thought I'd throw this out to the
list.

 

I've had my wheels balanced, but not all the weights seem to have adhered
very well to the rim...they're there now, but I have a feeling they will
part company at high revolutions.  As I said, I have some adhesive ideas,
but has anyone got a suggestion?

 

Thanks,

Stephen, BJ8
