Wheel Balancing
When wheels with spoke are balanced are they supposed to use the weights that stick on the flat part of the rim? Or is there another method?

Stick on's will work but the weights that fit over the spoke (actually the spoke ferrule) look a lot cleaner.

We use Dyna beads inside the tube. They work great on my rides. No need for an ugly wheel weight on the rim or spoke either.
