        Im running Airsoft bb's in two of my 36"s. about 12oz. i think. I agree with all the pros ive heard in this thread and will always balance my tires this way from now on. I would NOT however, use antifreeze. As thats the dumbest thing i think ive ever heard. Im sure guys do do it, but to me it sounds messy, unnecessary, and like it would pollute the hell outta the trail when you slice open a sidewall.

          So doing this in conjunction with wheel weights should work nicely?

            i cant see why it wouldnt, but in all honesty, i would do what i did, lose the original weights and go to bbs, that is, unless your in need of a stupid amount of weight to keep them balanced.

            I am not an athority on the subject tho, so sorry. maybe someone else will post up.

              I wouldn't even bother with the clip on weights to be honest with you. The whole purpose behind doing the bb's is so you dont need to worry about losing a steel weight on the trail. The bb's are supposed to work so good as is that the steel weights shouldn't be necesary.
