View Full Version : Rim Tape!! mohns6062 March 24th, 2011, 09:58 PM I am wondering what people who put rim tape on their rims did about their wheel weights? kkim March 24th, 2011, 10:10 PM use tape on wheel weights or weights that clip to the center section of the rim if your rim has provisions for it. http://www.pashnit.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=88925&d=1235286679 mohns6062 March 24th, 2011, 10:25 PM tape over the wheel weights you say? kkim March 24th, 2011, 10:28 PM nope... use weights with an adhesive backing on them that you stick on the flat part of the rim instead of the sides. see them in the pic I posted? edit: another pic... http://faq.f650.com/FAQs/Photos/WheelPhotos/Balanceweights.jpg here's a pic of the clip on type in the center of the rim that comes stock on the newgens. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_geC920GCq38/SLT5AAYGiII/AAAAAAAAArM/YuTOgcwsLsw/s640/DSC04383-1.JPG mohns6062 March 24th, 2011, 10:45 PM Ah, very nice pictures. I currently have clip on weights that are on the side but I will be getting new tires soonish.. so i will see if the guys that install the tire can put weights on the middle. kkim March 24th, 2011, 10:54 PM if not, provide them with the stick on weights so they can use them if they don't have any. they are relatively cheap. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-24-black-powder-coated-stick-wheel-weights-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2a0a2746d9QQitemZ180558972633QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTru ckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=stick+on+wheel+weights+&_cqr=true&_nkwusc=stck+on+wheel+weights&_rdc=1 spcolsson April 4th, 2011, 03:06 PM why are we talking about new gens in a pre gen forum?? kkim April 4th, 2011, 03:17 PM he was asking about balancing weights and I was explaining the different types available. frankly, I can't tell you what type of rims they have on a zzr250. mohns6062 April 4th, 2011, 07:33 PM its a 140/70 - 17 on the back and 100/80 - 17 on the front kkim April 4th, 2011, 07:43 PM I was more posting about the wheels themselves (not tire sizes) and if they have that strip in the middle to clip on the weights, like the new gen wheels do. |
