Rotate the axle back and forth, reducing friction, until the heavy spot goes down. Apply weight at the top. Spin the wheel to see if you can feel if it's unbalanced. Adjust weights as necessary. Readjust hubs until there's no play. Nobody balances their wheels because the effect at the low RPMs at which wheels spin aren't an issue. -- Phil, Squid-in-Training |

If you have a reflector or bike computer magnet, put it opposite the valve stem. -- _________________________ Chris Phillipo - Cape Breton, Nova Scotia http://www.ramsays- online.com |
