This is my first product review. I'm not much of a tech writer but here goes.
Review of the Justin B. Wheel Balancer:
Not that many people mount their own motorcycle tires most are off to the dealer and then back again with new skins mounted. Even fewer attempt the characture building activity of crawling across the floor while fighting the forces of leverage by wielding heavy irons soaked with slippery soap, inventing new expletives all the while. If successful the intrepid tire changer may well succumb to the mental attitude that enough is enough and screw the forces of rotating mass "I'm puttin' these things back on now", Neglecting to participate in the Ying Yang dance of wheel balancing. Even fewer than spotted owls are the rare individuals who would actually attempt all the above and then take this one Kafkaesque step further and build their own balancing device.
I immediately recognized that Justin was this rare person and when he offered up one of his balancers I pounced on it like a snow leopard on an arctic hare. Well not exactly, I did tell him I wanted one but then sometimers kicked in. sometimes I remember and then...
But the deal was done and shortly after parting with something in the neighborhood of half a C note (a bargain) I received, in a plain cardboard tube, a sleek, silver steel & aluminum tool which elicited remarks from my gathered family. Remarks like: "wazzat"? "Um, what does it do"? "Very nice honey, the recyclables go out tonight".
I retired to the garage to try it out. For the intrepid this thing is the t!%s. It responds to weight difference as little as 1/8 oz. Well done Justin! Truly a worthy tool to own. Heres a view of it in action.
