Reply to "Balancing tires"

I use a bubble balencer at home because I gave up trying to find a spin-balance shop that even knew what a magnesium wheel was. Remember, all clip-on balence weights will chip the protective paint off Campy rims, which will then moisture-corrode a high stress area that cannot afford ANY strength reduction. If you run Campagnolo rims, use only glue-on weights, preferably in an area that avoids the close approach of any calipers. And like most racers, I add a big strip of fresh duct-tape covering the glued-on weights, for another layer of security. The tape lasts several years.
