Balancing nose wheel

There are many opinions about if balancing the wheels of an small aircraft is required. I decided that it can’t hurt as long as it is guaranteed that they don’t come loose.

I used a good quality brand of self adhesive balance weights and did some test. When the surface is scuffed and cleaned with aceton they remain in place.

From Amazon I purchased a wheel balancer for motorcycle wheels.

In total 2 weights of 5 gram were needed on both sides; so 20 gram in total.
