Don’t they go up your arse? Sorry, don’t use those. @Cream_Revenge may, he loves a butt plug sorry, had a beer…. But genuinely no idea what it is!
Took a gamble and Googled it with my fingers hovering over the delete button incase the wife came in. Seems like something I’ve never used because there was no need.
I'm intrigued. Genuinely no idea, but is this something that could pep up an otherwise mundane February friday night? Please enlighten us.
label looks like 'creative balancing' is it ball (bearing) in a tube, to balance carbs, dynamic (in use) wheel balancing?
Avoiding the Butt use aspect, IMO they are total snake oil, a lazy tyre fitter/balancers way of HIDING out of balance issues. They also add to the centrifugal forces so a wrong thing to do for a sports bike wheel/tyre when most advice for sportier ride is to reduce weight (usually via lighter wheels/reducing centrifugal forces!) . Maybe of use in heavy wheel/tyred 4X4 use where the wheels are difficult to balance with tyre locks mud chunky tread etc, on a sports bike fukno.
Never heard of them. Tyre balancing machines, dynamically measure out of balance moments and calculate an appropriate mass and location to offset the out of balance. Shenk have made scientific machines to do this in the aerospace industry for 50 plus years to my knowledge. One major issue occurs to me, what are you going to get when you have balls of ceramic smashing against each other throughout the life of the tyre ? Very fine dust that screams health hazard when you change the tyre. Being blunt, seems an absolute load of bollocks to me but I’m a grumpy old git. Andy
