when I changed my tires I sucked up the used air in my garage and pumped it back into the tires. Free air, beat that.
I pump my nitrogen from the atmosphere. 80% nitrogen, beat that

I didn't know metal wheel weights were perishable pats of butter..
There is a whole lost of things that you should not re-use and actually should replace regulary
Rims
Bike Frames
Break and clutch levers
Oil Pans
Every wire in your motorcycle
You should replace all these every year other wise you are bad at bikes...
All good. I can deal with sarcasm, but this the thread I was referring to, the original poster was talking about reusing the stick-on weights, not the kind that goes on the lip of the rim.......

I just find it amusing since it's a hobby and not a cheap one at that. I'm not sure what's with all the attitude I'm receiving on this forum. I'm just giving my 2 cents like anyone else. It bothers me that people are THAT cheap. If you want to pinch your pennies, take up knitting.
Reusing stick on wheel weights is cheap and also good chance of them not adhering properly.
... And I'm all about saving money and screw the bling-bling.

True that.For some people its not just a hobby, its a form of transportation
Why do you get upset by what other people do?
I find it cheap. Spend a lot to buy quality gear and equipment once and the rest is simple maintenance. People are cheap with everything. Not just bikes. You can't win either way. Buying the best of everything makes you a poser to a bunch of fools on the internet. Being cheap gets you ridiculed by the same fools on the internet. Who cares? Do you own thing and ignore what other people think.
Hollllllllllla
Knitting is only cheap if you use crap yarn and crap needles. Good quality needles (and other knitting equipment) are surprisingly expensive and quality yarn is very expensive. It's generally cheaper to buy your own clothes than knit them. Unless of course you wear some very expensive clothing. Just saying.If you want to pinch your pennies, take up knitting.
