Still waiting on my balancer and need to figure out a good way to secure the base to something and I'm ready to get started. the base of the stand or balancer? The balancer doesn't have to be mounted. madski wrote: need to find some stick on weights too. autozone used to sell boxes of them - just hate the idea of shipping lead I buy all mine from Ebay...it's the cheapest I found |

I mounted mine directly into the concrete floor. I tried using a large sheet of plywood but ended up rotating the plywood under the base when trying to do Harley Rims. Just my .02. |

yeah, I did not have it mounted at all and tried to put on a front - that's how I whacked my back - pretty fucking stupid in rhetrospect I don't really want to mount it to the floor. I'll have to see if I can sort something out for a location if I go that route. |

EURIKA! I mounted my first tire without a dibilitating injury or scratching the rim! Now just need to balance the bitch and go ride.
