Ballast made some rear wheel weights

[OrangeFloyd]

Since my boxblade as a ballast becomes a "non-ballast" when used, I have designed some rear wheel weights. Pretty simple, old idea, should work well. 1/2" plate tapped-out to accept 1" (b7) threaded rod, half-nut and split ring lock washer on rear. Plate holds fast to wheel with grade 5 cairrage bolts. Additional plates added to original that stays in place. About 20# per plate. Probably add 3 to first and see how it goes. 1" nut-washer-lock to hold other plates on.

OrangeFloyd pretty simple and straightforward construction, good job. And the best part is they are sure to give you increased stability and traction as well.

I like them, can we see a pic when they are on the wheel?

brentbx22- I will try to install tomorrow, then take pics. Hurting a bit for time though, got a trip to Bandon Dunes , Oregon starting on Saturday for a little golf with the boys. If not pics tomorrow then as soon as I get back.

S'pose this topic should have gone in another category, yikes!
