If you're going to the trouble of balancing wheels, then do it dynamically. That's why I used to do. A friend of mine ran a tyre fitters and we used his rig. John's static approach is less effective.

That said, this is a complete waste of time though. First, it makes almost no difference at all. Second, after having carefully balanced your wheel, all you need to do is pick up a small bit of rubber or stone on the track, or have the tyre chunk slightly, and you're out of balance again.

There are better areas to find time.
