| 1. Clip-on weight |
 |
This is the most common form of incorrect “hidden-weight” balance. It is used when
weights are not wanted on the cosmetic outside areas of the wheel. This often increases dynamic imbalance. |
| |
2. Adhesive (tape-on) weight |
 |
Centering the weight in the wheel is the preferred static correction.
This will not add additional dynamic imbalance, however residual dynamic imbalance should still be checked. |
| |
3. Balance pad weight |
 |
In some cases, excessive amounts of correction weight are required at the
wheel. Some balancers allow the correction weight location to be chosen
at the tire. This reduces excessive amounts of weight at the wheel. Static
“patch balancing” works well for oversized wheel diameters and low profile
tires (example; 20”-23” customization). |
