Hey everyone
We have been promising a wheel balancer for a few weeks, well here it is.
This was built from scrap. Left over 2" X 4" pieces, a few cut pieces of channel a few scrap brackets and some junk bearings.
I realize Harbor Freight sells one for $50 and it's nicer but times are hard and $50 is alot of money. Bearings came out of old Alternators that SRAD scraps at work(stripped for aluminum and copper) But skateboard bearings would work just as well. Scrap wood was framed up to be square and level then screwed together with Drywall screws. Next the angle brackets were screwed to the top
With 3.5" screws. Next step is bolting on the bearing carrier which is just something SRAD found 2 of in the scrap bin and drilled to fit.
Lastly the bolts that the bearings run on are duplicated in several lengths so that different widths of wheel can be done. Extra bolts and bearings are stored below.
If you never used one of these it's pretty simple just spin the wheel when it comes to a stop put a small amount of lead Top dead center. Spin again, when it stops adjust with more or less depending on where it stops. If it stops with the weight at the bottom them you added to much.
Anyway here's a short clip of the balancer and the Mile. You know March is coming up pretty quick!
