Weight on my wheels are mounted behind spokes - They are sticky taped on.

Silver duct tape over the weights, assuming the weights aren't clip- ons.

So you duct-tape OVER the stick-on weights ? Is this xtra insurance to aid the sticking ability?

Not duct tape! It's a thin metallic tape, almost like foil.
