My wheel weights which look factory are literally becoming unglued! They are not off but have moved and is a black adhesive under them. It's not vibrating yet but have never seen weights glued!

The oem weights clip on the center ridge on the rim. No glue/tape used.

Some aftermarket weights are lead strips that tape to the rim with double-sided tape.

Glue them back on before they fly off.  cooldude They can be off a half inch or so without any noticable issues.

Daniel every bike I've owned always clipped on at the rim. Like Tom said I better glue them back on before I lose them!  Gorilla glue?? 2funny

I never heard of it and did a search and it sounds almost too good to be true! You just put it in the tire and it also coats the tire to prevent puntures. Where did you get yours?

Or buy a set of chrome adhesive weights and replace the ones that are coming loose.

24 weights of 1/4 oz each for $8.39 to your door off ebay.
