I am not whining about vibrations, I am looking for information- sorry if I mis-interpreted that. Yes, I have had tires pad-balanced before. It works great, but costs money and you have to take them to Galloways = a wasted saturday and $50 -not the end of the world, but... I was wanting to try the BB balancing because it seemed fairly interesting, neat tech if it worked; and automatically reacted to the chunking of lugs. No, I have not taken the time to check the rims for true- yet. I was simply searching for ideas and comments from others that may have had this issue before I spend (possibly) unnecessary time going into these wheels. It seems that this style of balancing (BB's) is maybe more of a 'I know of a guy that did it and it worked fine' type of thing. And since PBB's search is down, I will have to wait for answers from the West Coast.
