Subject: Re: Wire wheel weights
I recall that when I investigated sources for these for my LG6 wheels, that I concluded the RR/Bentley versions were not the same.
One would imagine that Dunlop (and the rims are certainly Dunlop) would have provided a standardised wheel balancing system. But it seems the rims were provided uncut, with each manufacturer coming up with their own system. My odd pair were uncut, so it seems some manufacturers didn't bother with balancing, or just wound lead wire around appropriate spokes.
