Anybody know which weight to get between ¼-ounce vrs. ½-ounce stick-on weights? I'd like to get both but apparently they're not sold in mixed weights. Or does anybody know a vendor who sells mixed weights?

Next time use BB's?

2oz in the front.

3oz in the rear.

Oh, I think I've got it. I will saw the ½-ounce weight in half if I need a ¼-ounce more. I'm not using Ride-on because this is for my other bike. And since I don't want to waste the remaining weights I'd use them on the Valk.

You could probably go to your local tire store and they may even give you a strip of both (they're usually in strips that are segmented to break off wherever you need). If you are lucky enough to talk to the person that actually does the work at the tire machine, they would probably give you some without a care in the world. The higher up the management list, the more they worry about expenses and may want to charge you for them.

Thanks Ken.

It's for my other bike's spoke wheels, so plan on making use of the remaining weights on the Valk instead of putting them in the freezer.
Those special little tools that you can never find, put them in the freezer in a zip lock bag. Wink.
