Big Rear Wheel? - Look out for this potential issue

Quote from TravAZ

I put on my track wheel and tire combo after my Slingshot was sitting a few days and it started to make a really odd noise on each revolution of the wheel. I thought at first, that it was the sticky residue on the rear tire from the sticker, but it didn't go away. After looking closely with the rear jacked up, I found the issue...

The 20x12 wheel was balanced with wheel weights on the very inside lip. The weights were rubbing on the e-brake cable that was no longer in the sleeve correctly. See pic below.

If you are going to run 20x12, I suggest that you look closely at wheel weight placement. I also suggest that you make sure these cable are in the holders correctly and zip tie them so they can't get popped out.

Not much margin for error in there.

Now is that a boy scout or part of the girl boy scout?

My 20x12 wheel is being built right now, what is best location of the wheel weights, I assume an inch or two from the edge?

thanks for the post this is very timely and helpful.
