Balancing Wheel / Captive Spacers

Just a quick question.

When balancing a wheel should I remove the captive spacers (great things that they are) or leave them in?

 

Remove them along with the sprocket carrier

 

Thanks

 

why take them out? sprocket carrier on the rear yes as theres play in it,but certainly no need to remove the spacers,especially if they are captive

 

try balance with them in remove then try again see if it has any bearing...... see what i did there

 

like i said,if they are captive why bother? they are in there,will stay in there,will make no difference if you remove them,so why make extra work?

 

Scooby is bang on! Leave them in.... There won't be any issues with unbalanced rotational mass being so close to the centre of the hub...

 

I said it so it would show him there is no difference, easy way to check if you where unsure is it try with and try without.

 

well quote him then,not me as it comes across as your replying to me
