If you wheel anything like I do, knocking off wheel weights in the rocks seems to be a common occurrence. Or maybe I am just unlucky that way. By the time I replaced my last set of tires I don’t think I had a single weight left on any of the rims.
But I have come up with a simpe solution that doesn’t require a trip back to the tire shop after every run in the woods. All I do is use a sharpie to mark the location of the weights on the rim as well as the weight sizes. This way I can easily pick up and tap on a new wheel weight should I knock one off. Works really well on my rims as they are painted with flat paint.
If you really don’t want to see the numbers and marks you could always write them on the backside and come up with your own way of telling if they are on the outside or inside of the rim.
