RE: Lost wheel weight
My take on it would be its there for a reason - wouldn't do any harm to get you wheel balance checkedjust to be on the safe side as you wouldn't want a nasty wobble at speed.

I hadn't heard of these beads, Scott. Thanks! Sound like a good way to balance w/o the crappy looking weights stuck on the nice chrome wheels. When you change tires, do you just pour them out and save em for the next tire, or get new ones?

don't worry about it. If it rides smooth you will be fine. The tire is out of balance after you put a couple thousand miles on anyway, and thats without losing a wheel weight. Balance it next time you get a tire.

People here have given me and others crap for even considering such an option. If you consider the physics involved, it makes tremendous sense. Before I became a beer consumption consultant, I earned a Masters in physics from U.T. That was almost 20 years ago, but the principals are sound even though some here and elsewhere weren't consulted on the physics involved.
