    I've got a machine similar to this, but with a few additions that make it easy, and a cool trick at the end. It's made by Snap-on, years ago, not available from them now. It looks the same - red base, two vertical bars, two ball bearings on the top of each tube, cross "axle" with cones and a way to snug it all together, like yours. Your idea of thinking about the process in quarters is great way to describe it. So, let's say you're at that same point of turning the wheel and letting it settle, and have established the heavy part of the wheel is now at the bottom. On my tool, you now install a bar on the end of the axle, and position the bar vertically. On the bar, on the "light" side of the wheel, is a weight that can be slid away from the heavy side of the wheel in measured increments. You then do what you did here, turn the wheel 1/4 each way and see if the wheel stays stationary. If not, slide the weight away from the heavy side until the wheel sits still, then, look at the numbers on the bar and note the number where the weight is, say, three ounces. That means you need to put three ounces on the light side of the wheel opposite the heavy point. But then there is this last tricky thing, which, I have no idea why it works, but it REALLY works. There is a last piece of the tool which allows you put those three ounces NOT all in one spot opposite the heavy point, but spread out over 120°. So, one ounce directly opposite the heavy point of the wheel, and one ounce each 60° to the left and right of that first weight. For some reason I don't know, that little end thing is what make the wheels super smooth. I repair British sports cars (MG Triumph etc) here in the USA and this is the ONLY tool that correctly balances wire wheels, so it must work with bike wheels also. I'll bet you and Gary could make the extra pieces!

      If you're lucky, the wheel might balance straight away. But if it is out, take the weights off and start from scratch. You have nothing to lose and might save yourself time.

      No, they shouldn't cause that, but you will feel an imbalance at certain speeds when you ride. It can cause a wheel wobble.

    Dana darlin, just a quick safety tip. When you turn sideways, and lean forward, I notice your hair has a tendency to fall forward in front of your shoulder. Now, purely in the name of safety……..you might wanna tie that back so it can’t become entangled in any moving parts that might be in the vicinity. And also, so we can see whatever you may be working on with no chance of distraction. 😏

      Yes I have removed one one and that is how I remember it, but isn't it part of the balance of the wheel as a whole fixed item. So it because it is not firmly fixed and rigid?

    • @bikerstuff2
      @bikerstuff2  2 місяці тому

      You only balance the wheel and tyre not the sprocket carrier. It is too small and has a tiny radius so could not really affect the bike. Because it isn't solidly connected to the wheel you cannot include it when balancing.
