I'll give them an 8.5 on the bull**** scale...


Thank you for your technical help. I assume you have tried them
yourself and are giving an objective observation.


Try them? You've got to be kidding.

To quote the web pages:

"However, when sudden braking or slowing occurs, the fluids continue to spin
for several revolutions until they slow down to the wheel speed. Therefore,
the fluid moving at high speed and weighing nearly 28 ounces per wheel whip
around the ring at ten to fifteen revolutions per second. This weight, when
pulled by gravity over the top of the wheel, "falls" over the front side of
the wheel where the force is created which "pulls" the wheel down onto the
pavement-JUST WHEN YOU NEED IT TO-on sudden braking over hard bumps or
across sheets of water to create a road-hugging controlability and
anti-sway, anti-drift and anti-trailer hop and bounce effect"

RiiiiIIIiiight.

Or, from the other web page:

"The Company claims the dissimilar metallic composition of the balancer,
i.e. steel mounting plate and aluminum balancing ring, dissipates wheel/tire
heating while in operation. This feature is called "ThermoFlow" by the
Company. Basic rules of thermal physics apply as different metals have
different coefficients of contraction/expansion with convection heat
transfer migrating to the metallic content with the highest coefficient of
expansion/contraction, i.e. rapid transfer from the wheel/hub/tire assembly
to the steel mounting plate to the aluminum tube."

You don't have to pay for bull**** to smell bull****.

8.5 - you can't get a 10.0 without invoking space aliens AND anti-gravity.
