Hello John,I have a box of 50 self adhesive 5 gramme weights which measure 15 m.m. square each. Obviously you can fit two to make up 10 grammes. How many do you want?Personally I dont bother balancing wheels because I only feel it is worthwhile if travelling over 100 m.p.h.Derek F.

Hi Del,I have recently had a new tyre fitted on the rear,and get slight wheel tramp at my motorway cruising speed(80/85mph) I had to have the front wheel balanced after the last new tyre(that's how I know about the smaller wheel weights smiley )once I have the engine cooling sorted out I will be in touch,and like you, I have never had to bother before,ride safe,J.B.PS where did you get yours from?I've had a bit of a surf,but could only find the 10mm? ones.J.B.
