I don't see why not.
I Usually do it on a truing stand, but it shouldn't matter


This guy even has a tip on safety wire haha

Luckily it doesn't apply to you and static balance is better than nothing, but, ANY rim more than 3" wide should be dynamically balanced, particularly on sportbikes capable of 300Km/hr (187mph)

Dyna beads!

I've seen them OEM on few bikes, but, they all had tubeless tyres.
I'm a bit 'scared' of putting them inside a tube, no idea if they could 'wear' the rubber and cause a blow out?
I know manufacturer says they won't but............................................

much better accuracy using a spindle as in the video,as long as his lil stand bearings are in good shape
you are dealing with large bearing resistance and seal friction using the wheel bearings so the accuracy is not as high as using the spindle method
GOOD ENOUGH THOUGH FOR NEARTON STUFF I AM SURE

Ok guys going to change the gearing from 16/33 to 16/35. Zeke has been racing COTA on Playstation 3 and the long straight is slightly uphill. If we can hit 10.5k in 5th then that will put us at the ton. The wind will be out of the south and long straight runs east west. I have been testing Victoria naked on our 3/4 mile test track it is also slightly uphill and runs east west 16/33 will need a longer straight to wind all the way out.

Just ordered a 15 tooth sprocket because I just checked our rear tire circumference is 81.23"

Easy peasy!
Looks like your bearings are good too ;D

Hahah I was about to say... Looks like I need to replace mine

Interesting tidbit on annealed brass safety wire...they used it on helicopters because the stainless can't hold up to the vibration.

Stainless is a pain. It work hardens, and tends to break if you over twist it.

I've mentioned several times that stainless brake lines eventually fail for the same reason
