Hi, does anyone know if car and motorcycle wheel weights are the same? If not, can car weights be used on a motorcycle wheel. thanks

Actually they have mass. Any object requires gravity to have weight and if the wheel is in motion, centripetal forces (those that draw all outside spinning object of mass around a central point of equal radii) will actually counterbalance the gravitation forces exerted on the object by the earth itself. Now this being said friction (the traction between the tire and the road or ground surface) is the primary force keeping the tire connected to the ground not gravity. However this will only occur is the centripetal forces exceed the gravitational forces and or countermand the the frictional forces as stated.
Glad I cleared that up huh~!

I disagree and object has to have mass to have weight - if there is no gravity then its weight is zero. It weight is still measurable because it has mass. If it has no mass then it has no weight - no mass = nothing/null.
I don't ride in zero G much and I bet he doesn't either.2linby said:Zorlac said:They are similar in that they both have weight.

Slingin' lead has a few problems. Gettin' filled with lead has other drawbacks too. As for Dynabeads, well, they're only good for bean bag chairs IMHO. However, while I may have fallen out of one a time or two, I have never had a bean bag chair suffer a high speed imbalance. My vacuum cleaner tells it different though, but don't listen to it... it sucks.Zorlac said:I like lead, makes me stupid.
