I recently had a new Metzler Z4 mounted up front on a ZX9 wheel that has
just been powder coated. They used 28 grams of "stick-on" wheels weights so
as not to damage my flashy new powder coat. I was concerned about the
stick-on weights and they said I would need a chisel to get it off once it's
on. About 3 days later I found that very same weight stuck to the bottom of
my truck tire. Apparently it had just fallen off in the driveway and I ran
over it. When I journeyed back to the cycle shop to show them how good the
weight stayed on they told me it wasn't very much weight at all and if I
didn't notice it missing, don't worry about it. I rode the freeway up to
about 80 mph to get to the shop that day and didn't notice any shake.
Apparently, the powder coat finish didn't accept the stick on weights very
well.
I know I took the scenic route to answer your question but what the hell, I
felt like jabbering. I guess 28 grams isn't very much but I'd bet 100 is.
