I hadn't thought of that. Although I'd still have to buy the weight in from the eatern states, so I suspect it woud end up costing a little by the time it's all said and done.

Make sure that the weights have the correct centre hole diameter, as some of these are too hard to drill out.

K-mart ... I hadn't thought of that kind of store. Great idea. Thanks.
I don't really know what you mean with the sealed bearing and locking collar, but step one - finding a weight.
Thanks,
