RE: Tire Balancer
Pretty much like that Nesal. It's like a pendulum. If you sit the tire on the balancer, the heaviest side of the tire is going to automatically swing down and come to a rest at the lowest point. Mark that point and slowly start to add wheight to the opposite side of the inside of your rim. Eventually, where you made that original mark, you sould be able to put the mark at the 12 o'clock position without the tire swinging either way. Then you should be able to put the mark at the 3 o'clock position without any movement and again at the 9 o'clock position without any swing. Once that's done, you should have a balanced tire.
Good luck.
Good luck.
