You'll be fine.
:laugh2:Heck..i took both my front brake calipurrs off cause you can see the wheel better without em. I only use the rear brake anyway.
I paint mine. General prep, clean surface with alcohol and
room temp or above should be good to go.
Another reason to just change / balance the tires yourself.
I have not had any issues, going on many years.So I see you stick your weights next to the center lip you have never had a problem with them coming off?
No, you break the bead on the tire and rotate the tire slightly on the rim to move the lighter spot around away from the spoke. And you do that again if the light spot requires more than 1.0 oz of weight added to it to balance it out. That's not a good thing.When you guys are static balancing what do you do if you need weight right where the spoke is? do you move the weight a little bit over so that it's against the center lip? like Will 1 inch really make a difference where you're putting the weight on the rim? I'm just not sure how sensitive balancing is for exact location
I go one side or the other. Being an inch off isn't going to be noticeable and if it is you probably have other issues. Sometimes it's almost better to not even balance the rear. I have had instances where I've spun the rear rim inside the tire on race start so the weight was 180 degrees off from where it should have been which makes it twice as unbalanced as it would have been with no balancing weight at all. And let me tell you it feels like you are racing on square wheels when that happens. But race tires run much lower pressure so are more susceptible to that issue especially if you don't keep your bead area of the rim good and clean.When you guys are static balancing what do you do if you need weight right where the spoke is? do you move the weight a little bit over so that it's against the center lip? like Will 1 inch really make a difference where you're putting the weight on the rim?
