In the "I always wondered" dept.....
When they use those stick-on weights, how do they compensate for the fact
that the sitck-on
weights are not the same distance from the rotational axis of the wheel
Vs the "pound-on" type
that attach to the outermost lip of the rim? I should think that it would
be required to add additional
weight Vs what the balancing machine says to use when using those
stick-on weights.....
or do you just set the machine for 14" wheels when balancing 15" wheels
with stick-ons, etc?
Do the guys that typically balance your wheels know what they're doin'
anyhows?
This has been keepin' me up at night for too long now to go unanswered!
