Tire Balancing and using the correct Marc Parnes balancing adapter(s).

[RPGR90s]

I've been changing and balancing my own tires for quite a few years. I have a new '24 RT and thought I had the correct adapter for the rear wheel with the big 62 mm hole. I got this adapter for a K1600 but it doesn't hold my RT wheel in place. I could add washers to the the thumb screws to grab the wheel, but better yet would be the official adapter that everyone else uses.

Thanks,

RPG

Is there a brand name for the rest of what goes with this part?

I use washers under the thumb screws with an adapter like that.

I think you need to put the thumb screws with bushings in the outer two holes.

I agree with Toter. I checked mine, the outer holes works for my 22RT

Same Same^^^

And if you are mounting Michelin tires put the bar code at the valve port and the tire will balance great with minimal weight.

Thanks for all the replies. I contacted Marc Parnes and got it all straightened out. The one I have is for a K1600 (my buddy's old bike) and it slightly different than the correct one I need. Which I ordered from Marc.

Great! I will adjust the title for more accurate search-ability.
