This is easy and should be done on all of these fast turning wheels.=0A=0AM=
ag wheel tape weights work great to accomplish this. With the wheel off the=
 airplane and with the bearings in the races, insert the axle and run a sma=
ll =C2=BC=E2=80=9D by 12=E2=80=9D or so alum or steel tube through the bolt=
 hole in the axle so you can rest the ends of the rod or tube you used on t=
o 2 flat surfaces with the wheel suspended and find the heavy side. You may=
 need to use the nose fork bushings to hold the bearings tight to the races=
 on the through rod on each side. I used a little masking tape to do this. =
I was shocked how out of balance mine was. Use masking tape and temporarily=
 tape the weight to the wheel and slowly rotate and adjust as necessary. Yo=
u may need to trim the width of the weights with a band saw to make them fi=
t on the wheel. I split the weight and put half on each side of the wheel. =
Do the mains while you are at it. You will be amazed at the difference when=
 you are rolling fast.=0A=0ARandy Snarr=0AN694RS=0A=0A--- On Mon, 11/23/09,=
