Balaicing
the Road
Wheels.
It is
most
important,
in view
of the
high speeds
attainable,
that
the
front
road wheels
should
be
properly
balanced.
Therefore,
it
is
necessary to
have all the
wheels
balanceit,
and to
re-balance
a wheel
after
changing
its tyre.
An
out-of-balance
effect
is usually
present in
the
complete
wheel
and tyre due
to:-

The
valve
and
