Tire balancing
 
How picky or sensitive are you to tire balancing?

My tire installer does not balance my tires, the same weight stays on it, and thus far I nor any of the other guys I ride with have had issues. So no I'm not picky about it.

Not picky and I do most of my own tire changes.

Picky enough that even when I let someone else mount them, I usually balance them myself.

decently picky... not gonna kill 20+ min getting it perfect though. but I take my time.

with the knobbies... I'll get them close... but if it takes longer than 2 maybe 3 min... I'm done. can't really feel it with the knobbs anyhow

I had a guy that could balance the tire with no weight, just by mounting it. Worked on every tire, every time. He's throw it on the balancer to prove it.

You should be able to. WIth proper alignment to the valve stem

I pay to have it done. It's cheap enough.

Ditto

If a bike see's 100+ then it needs proper balancing (IMHO) and I'm not chancing that
