[QUOTE="e3120, post: 7886843, member: 1161"] The wheel weights will have equal weight on either side of the rear axle fulcrum, so achieve no net moment. That said, the front unloading effect of a rear counterweight is often over estimated - probably only 250g for every kg added, unless sticking out a silly distance. You can take moments about any fulcrum you wish. In order to calculate the impact on the front axle, the rear axle is chosen, to eliminate the load it exerts. To work out the extra load on the rear due the counterweight, use the front axle as the pivot. [/QUOTE]
