Goldchainer tech post...

Road Force Variation, or Road Force balancing is basically a spin-balance tire machine that has a drum roller attachment on it that pushes against the tire as it spins to replicate the weight of the car being on the ground while rolling.

In the old days, they simply balanced the tire and wheel while still mounted on the car to include the brake drum in the balancing operation.

 

I was the master of 'Road force balncing' in the Detroit region for Discount Tire Co. for quite a while. Really not hard to do....if ya know what you're doing. Rally does work well. Worth the money especially on high performance cars that see alot of freeway speeds and then some. It basically matches the light and heavy spots of a tire with the heavy and light spots of a wheel. Eliminates alot of the unsightly weights that ya see on alot of wheels. Anyone in the Detroit area that needs it done, call Nick (my brother whom I trained) and he'll hook ya up with a HAMB discount. Just tell him his older (not big...damn he grew up!) brother sent ya! (248)681-2280.

 

ah, what i called "on the car spin balance" ,use that with strobe lite balancing,and truing(?) for a super smooth ride. thanks for answering

 

coulda saved yerself lots o trouble by puttin white walls on the inside...either that or add more finger prints and call em blackwalls

note to self buy latex gloves for the tire balance guys..

 

I would give more points if there was a Shiner instead of the Bud Lime.

 

Beat me to it!

 

...well, at least the 'gay' word hasn't surfaced yet...

 

Happy gay or don't bend over for the Bud Lime gay?

 

with the "patina" on the rear hubs,shouldn't you be drinking PBR???

 

My *** resembles an SOS pad

 

So much for the black on black on black.

 

See u Saturday Larry

Hey larry,

what scourer pads do you use, if you've only got domestic beer?

And I drink international beer, do you need a certain type of scourer?

 

>>>ah, what i called "on the car spin balance" ,use that with strobe lite balancing,and truing(?) for a super smooth ride>>>

Ahhhhh, I just happen to (well, my Father does anyway) have one of those old on the car balancing machines.

Larry, more SOS pads, more time = more beer consumed, right? Genius! Pure Genius........

Larry I have busted your chops before but dont let these alkys kid ya............if the only beer left in the fridge was a BL LIME they would **** it down like Tracy Lords! I agree, easier than cutting lime to put in Mexican swill.

 

Great tech....I've been cleaning my whitewalls all wrong.....I was using the s.o.s pads, but was drinking the wrong beer....tech week rules.....thanks Larry...

 

Larry, lookin good! I'll be at GG this weekend sitting at our booth trying to stay awake. Stop by and say hello.... Maybe you can check out the white walls on the 55 and tell me how I did.....I used different beer, but I think it worked.

 

good tech post, but you didn't have to get your whitewalls dirty just for our benefit

 

are you saying the balancer guy gave your truck back with the tyres looking like that?

**** that, i would have not paid him and slapped him upside the head.

how can people be so filthy and unconcerned about a customers car? if i did that i would slap myself upside the head.

you, Larry, are a very tolerant man.

 

my new chainer friend green truck Larry. Tulsa? what part of California is that?

 

I think its the hilly part where all them fruit ? trees are.

Looks good, Larry. See yall Friday night !

 

looks good larry. I like to use scrubbing bubbles and a whitewall brush. goes FAST. unfortunately it doesn't take as many beers though. from there I usually move on to cleaning the leaking gas off my intake from my 97's so my beer consumption doesn't fall below tolerable levels.

 

What a wastefull 'chainer!
My Pops can make 1 SOS pad last 10 cleanings of all 4 WWWs.
He keeps them in a little zip-lock bag in the trunk. When it gets down to the size of a half dollar and you can't hold it without getting metal slivers in both fingers and your thumb he might pitch it.
Great tech!

 

I hat to bring this post back on topic but do the chemicals in SOS pads dry out the whitewall like Westley's does?

 

I've been cleaning my Diamondback ww's with SOS pads for 6 years now...still as white as the day they were delivered...and with no adverse effects on the white (as in cracking, checking, dulling, etc.)...so the answer would be no.

This just might win Tech week post...lol

Have fun in Texas.

 

I love that purple stuff that they sell at the big box auto parts stores. It cleans www like nobodys bidness...................

This stuff is just spray on and walk off, then hose it off. Too easy.
