Wheel weight adhesive

[03deuce]

I've got a couple rear wheel stick on weights that have moved enough that I would like to remove them and re-glue in the original location.  What can I use for an adhesive?  Will a regular clear adhesive caulk have enough holding power? or can you recommend something better?  Wheel is a stock deuce rear wheel.

I went through a similar situation with the Ultra loosing rear wheel weights.  Switched to DynaBeads, and I'll never use another stick-on weight!!

IMO, they work perfectly at all speeds in motorcycles!

 Now come on. Dont you hear those Dyna bead bouncing around in there?
Wouldn't it drive you nuts?

I can't keep weights on my rear wheel.  Dynabeads are going in next week.

Nope... I can only hear them when I have the bike up on a jack to clean the wheels.  If I move the wheel, I hear the beads roll to the bottom.  Sounds like a little bit of sand in the tire.  You'd never be able to hear them above the motor noise.  I've heard mouse farts make more noise.

I might try the Dyna beads at a later date, but right now I'd just like to re-glue them.  Any suggestions?  thanks

Thin double-sided tape.  The substrate is only about as think as a dime. 

Just balanced my front wheel today.  I use laquer thinner to get the residue off the weight and clean the wheel surface for re-application. 

I've removed and replaced stick-on wheel weights many times.  They have never come off unintentionally.

I don't know where I got the double-sided tape . . .probably from Home Depot.  It's old, but still good.   I'll bet it's available from lots of places.    When the wheel spins, it pushes the tape harder against the wheel.

Try the black RTV.  That stuff is an amazing adhesive.  Just a little bit on the back of the weight.  Wipe off the excess.  It should clean up easy for re-application too.

Right.  Guy taught me a trick on this stuff.  It sticks pretty darn good and it cleans up great.  You could also try something like Monkey Grip that is used to hold your grips on or some of the leather cements as it cleans up well also.

Home Depot or Lowe's both have the double sided carpet tape.  I used it for years until DynaBeads were discovered.

I've thrown several wheel weights.  I now put a layer of clear RTV silicone on the weights after balancing.  Not much, just enought to seal around the edges of the weights.  No problem since I've started doing this.

I've used the beads in the past.  Hard to get into the tire and the tire changer gets a little pissed if you don't let him know about the beads.  They go everywhere when you dismount the tire.
