New Wheel Balancer
I saw a picture of a neat foldable balancer someone had and sat down and tried to come up with a similar design that would fit the Concours wheels and axles. After cobbling something together with some wood I got some 3/4 and one inch square stock and some 3/4 inch angle iron and started sawing. The following pictures show how it ended up. I used it to balance my latest tires, some Dunflop 205's.

For the four support bearings, I found some skateboard roller bearings
at the local hobby store. They were less than a dollar each.
I didn't
get a picture of them yet showing how I installed them. I will make a mental
note to do so....
