Default Wire Wheel Weights

How do you go about removing the weights on a spoked wheel? Thanks.

You should see a split down the side which you have to pry open to remove.

Thanks Dawg. I didn't want to start prying on something and snap a spoke...

Just take a screwdriver/pry bar and tap them toward the center with a hammer. Put the screwdriver/prybar near the outside edge and tap it toward the center and they will come off and be able to be re-used. Trying to twist them off can damage the spokes/nipples. Hope this helps.
