Motorcycle clip-on wheel weight HT 15g

The Motorcycle clip-on wheel weight HT 15g is a professional balancing solution designed specifically for spoked motorcycle wheels. Made of high-density lead, it provides compact mass in a small volume, allowing precise balancing even in limited space.

Thanks to its clip-on mounting system, the weight can be pressed directly onto the spoke nipple. No adhesive is required, ensuring quick installation and reliable fixation both in workshop environments and in field conditions.

Why Use Spoke Weights?

Spoke weights are ideal when:

• Balancing steel-spoked motorcycle wheels
• Performing quick balance corrections
• Working with motorcycle wheel balancers
• Needing reliable performance in off-road conditions

The weight remains securely in place and is designed not to fall off, even at high speeds.

Advantages of Lead Weights

Lead is one of the most commonly used materials for spoke weights due to its properties:

• Higher density = smaller dimensions with sufficient mass
• Better vibration damping
• Easier fitment on spokes without cracking or damaging the material

When selecting a weight, always consider mass, hole diameter, and material to ensure proper fitment and effective balancing.

How to Choose the Right Clip-On Weight

Proper wheel balancing improves ride comfort, bearing lifespan, and overall safety.

Step 1: Match Hole Diameter to Nipple Size

This model features:

• Weight hole diameter: 6.2mm
• Compatible with 6.4mm spoke nipples

Measure the nipple diameter using a caliper and select a weight with a slightly larger hole diameter for secure mounting.

Step 2: Select the Appropriate Weight

Available spoke weight options typically include:

• 10g
• 15g
• 20g

General rule: Start with a lighter weight. If imbalance persists, switch to a heavier one or add an additional weight.

Step 3: Practical Balancing Procedure

1. Mount the wheel on a balancer or free-spinning axis (e.g. truing stand).
2. Allow the wheel to stop naturally – the heaviest point will settle at the bottom.
3. Attach the weight to the opposite (top) spoke.
4. Spin again and check if the wheel stops in random positions.
5. If necessary, adjust the weight or its position.
