Re: Balancing a Pneumatic wheel

Here's how I did it:

I also used stick on lead weights for RC airplane balancing, but I simply did not trust just double sided sticky tape to hold them inside the wheel.

I stuck the weights on where they needed to go and then I used 30 minute epoxy as the final balancing "weight". This also helps to secure the weights in place.

The fourth picture is what happens after you spend time balancing the wheel and the tire decides to spin the tube inside the wheel resulting in an unbalanced wheel...
