As I said, I'm allergic to illogical bull****.

While there are times where road force balancing is required, there are
certainly times when it's not required - and hence - a waste of duplicative
effort.

It's sort of like combing your hair a hundred times a day even though your
hair doesn't need combing, or sippering up your zipper when it's already
zippered up, or climbing stairs twice when you already climbed them, or
washing a windshield when it's already clean, or screwing a screw in over
and over again even though it'[s already screwed in, or shining your shoes
again even though they're already shiny, or eating a nice meal, then puking
it out, and then eating it again, and again, and again, or like carrying
around four umbrellas even though one would suffice, etc.

The point is simple:
o You either need it
o Or you don't.

If you don't need it then why insist on it?
o Or, put another way...how do you know you need it?

The real answer is that you just _think_ you need it.
o It's a classic FUD ploy that advertisers live and breathe

The gullible sheep fall for every marketing trick in the book.

I'm not saying RFB isn't a good thing when it's needed.
o I'm simply asking you how you know that you need it?

LOGIC QUESTION:
If you're not feeling any perceptible vibration, what do you think that
expensive Hunter RFB machine is going to gain you?

Hi Steve,

The one problem with that statement is that, IMHO, nobody here really seems
to have viable facts for an accuratge percentage of wheels that actually
_need_ to be dynamically balanced when the match mounting and static
balance is done well and where there isn't any perceptible vibration at
speed.

Since you make the strong claim above, do you actually have any statistics
to help us understand what your belief system is actually based upon?

Why not skip the silly BS and tell us why it is not needed or how we can
tell if needed or not?

Give is facts, not the BS above. Instead of calling people gullible,
educate them.

Static balancing is a waste of time.

On a modern car it's a waste of time.

I can replace a tyre with only a beadbreaker, a couple of tyre levers
and a rubber mallet and have done so more times than I care to count on
rims as varied as Morris Minis rims through to large tractor rims. It is
*not* a difficult task *if you know what you're doing* but it is one I
prefer not to do now that I am retired. What I can say is that I have
seen lots of tyres *damaged* beyond repair by halfwitted loons who
*think* they know how to change one.

I'd bet I've changed far more tyres than you've had hot dinners. And not
always with a beadbreaker on hand.

If there is any bull**** being spouted here, odds on it would be you.
