Re: [Bmcu] wire wheel balancing

I always used a simple bubble balancer that allowed centering of the wheel with 
a spring loaded apparatus.  Always worked perfectly for me, even on the race 
cars.  Here's one for $57.95!

Subject: [Bmcu] wire wheel balancing

Good news: I've found an adapter kit that is alleged to permit balancing of 
wire wheels on conventional balancing machines.

Bad news: it is sold in the UK and costs 180 pounds (approx. $270) with value 
added tax  which presumably would be waived if shipped to the US. 
Also, the web site cites a 4 week wait:

I'm wondering if there would be enough interest for the BMCU to buy one and 
establish a rental program, or even a stalwart cohort of members who'd like to 
pitch in to buy one to share.  Count me in the latter.

As it happens I'm going to my favorite tire dealer this afternoon and will show 
it to him to see if he thinks it would work.

Cheers,
