[Shop-talk] Wheel Weights vs fluid filling

[eric at megageek.com]

Ok, I got some emails about using beet juice (Rim Guard)  to fill the 
tires instead of wheel weights.

Does anyone have any pros/cons about either?

Paul P gave me some reasons for the filling of tires, but here is what I 
was thinking...

If I get a punctured tire, I can't easily fix it without dealing with the 
fluld  (I never worked with filled tires before, can you 'drain them' and 
refill them if you need to remove a tire/rim?  Can you use a plug on a 
tire with it?

Thanks.

This list has been quiet lately, it feels good to have a discussion on it. 
 Maybe I'll ask about the best impact wrench to really get the juices 
flowing (as I really am looking for a new one.)
