Strange Iron plate found on front wheel

[Bentley2210]

First off, I didn't think it nessesary to put this topic in the workshop because its not really mechanical.

So, I've only had my Hornet for about a fortnight now and I've only just noticed a small iron plate sitting inside of the front wheel rim.

Not sure how it got there or if anyone knows if this is some kind of tracking or tagging device?

I've washed the bike two or three times since I got it and don't recall it being down there. Anyone have any idea?

it balances the wheel. Perfectly normal

IMO

Its the an MI6 tracking device... Did you buy the bike off anyone with a swarthy middle Eastern appearance, talking about virgins wistfully ??







It a balance weight...

It's an RFID chip put there by the robot aliens who want to control your mind!

No, not really it's a wheel weight. It's for balancing the wheel.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Also, for the record, it isn't iron. I would guess stainless steel from the photo.

Actually Lead balance weights have been banned for a few years now, they're Zinc or Zinc plated Steel these days

That's lame. Are they worried about swans eating wheel weights now?
