Just after a completed one tire change or a wheel change can result in an imbalance. It follows: noticeable vibrations, comparatively high wear and a diminished one driving safety. Tuningblog explains how a Imbalance is recognized - and how much you pay for that Balancing the tires / rims paid. A smooth bike is essential for driving safety and driving comfort. Only when the tires are perfectly balanced, they can optimally develop their positive properties on the road. However, the weight distribution on the bike is not always perfect: Due to various influences; like the valve, a curb bump, an unevenly worn tire or various Tuning components like Rim rings, Rim well stickers, special Paintwork etc. the wheel gets out of balance - this creates an imbalance. The imbalance not only has a negative impact on the wear and tear of the tires, over a longer period of time it can also have a Steering and the chassis take significant damage. It is therefore important to have the wheels balanced or balanced if there are clear signs of imbalance.
How does the imbalance actually arise?
The imbalance is nothing less than a Imbalance on the bikefor which there are many reasons. One reason is that Valve: Without a counterweight, the tires would only rotate unevenly around the axles. Also are unevenly worn tire profiles another reason for the creation of an imbalance. Tight cornering and heavy braking wear out the rubber of the tires unevenly. Even the smallest changes in weight can have a major effect on concentricity due to the centrifugal forces present.
How is the wheel balanced?
Even if it has become common practice in everyday life that the tire is balanced, this is not entirely correct. If you take a closer look, the balancing process does not balance the tires, but rather all the wheels. The resulting imbalances are addressed by the targeted attachment of small Counterweights balanced on the rims.
Tip: This is how the old adhesive weights are properly removed!
Balancing is only possible in workshops with the appropriate equipment. For this the wheels are in special Wheel balancers clamped. The machine simulates the movements that occur when the tire rolls on the car and sets it up Gram exactly the imbalance of the wheel.
The fitter is supported by the machine the weight and the location to which the counterweight must be attached is displayed. After the balancing process, however, a vibration can still be noticeable despite the now smooth wheels, because some imbalances arise not taken into account. These include the imbalances of the Brake discs, Brake drums or the wheel hub. Also unevenly manufactured Studs and particularly spacers often result in an imbalance in the wheel. This is why fine balancing is carried out on the vehicle recommended by a mobile machine.
- Fine balancing can optimize classic balancing
- Fine balancing takes place directly on the wheels and is carried out using a special machine
- Wheels are attached to the vehicle for this purpose
- In this case, the wheel mount and the wheel are one unit
- It is necessary to observe the manufacturing tolerances of the brake discs and the brake drum
- The aim of fine balancing is to further increase the smoothness of the wheels
- An additional material load is to be prevented by means of fine balancing
- With fine balancing, there are sometimes significantly fewer vibrations
- fine balancing can make the vehicle run more efficiently
- fine balancing can save fuel and energy
- Fine balancing is an electronic process
How do you recognize imbalance?
There are a few signs that indicate an imbalance:
- This includes the flapping of the steering wheel at a certain speed.
- Unknown noises at a speed of around 100 km / h.
- When the car feels spongy between 120 and 190 km / h.
- Unevenly worn tires.
Fast cars with large tuning wheels are particularly sensitive to this improperly seated weights. These should be handled with particular care to avoid balancing errors. If possible, the rim should also be the desired Offset own around on the use of track plates renounce to be able to. Track plates are often responsible for sometimes strong vibrations and also increase the wear the chassis parts.
How often should tires be balanced?
There are no fixed intervals for wheel balancing. Some drivers leave the bikes at the seasonal one tire change balance, while other drivers only balance the wheels once after the new tires have been fitted. However, regular balancing can useful be. At the first signs of imbalance, you should drive to the workshop. It is recommended to also have the other chassis components examined in order to be able to say for sure whether the imbalance has already caused damage. Even if the loss of an adhesive weight noticed, the tire should be rebalanced.
What does balancing cost?
Balancing is usually the case when fitting new wheels in the workshop free. The service is also free of charge for seasonal tire changes in the workshop. If you only want to balance the wheels, you pay around 3 to 10 euros in most workshops per tire. The whole set of tires therefore costs less than 15 euros, but it can also up to 40 euros costs. That often depends on the size of the bike, the workshop and also the region. And sometimes come again for aluminum rims two to four euros per bike to. In addition, the costs for dismantling are due if the wheel is still loose. Tip: It is important to pay attention to this when a tire change is due for a tire with TPMS.
