Default Re: Wheel balancing and weights

The way I do it is to take a front wheel bearing loose until it turns very easily, and then put on a wheel. It will go to the heavy side down, I use hammer on weights and put them on the inside of the wheel. Just add or remove weights until the wheel doesn't find a consistent place to stop. Three more and they will all be done. I have been up to speeds that shouldn't be achieved in a model A and the tires were rock solid and smooth.
A real problem is having a tire put on the wheel incorrectly, watch your line on the tire and make sure it is on the wheel evenly so it will run true.
