Generally, if you line up the dot on the tire with the valve stem, you will be real close to balanced. That is all I do on mine.

thats how my back tire worked out but the front spoked wheel already has a big weight clamped on one of the spokes, had one when i bought the bike and it had a avon tire. i assume they took it off and balanced the new tire tire they put on, that was 4 years ago, any way ill mess with it. the liquid in the video ill check out, looks interesting. read a couple articles on the dynabeads and people say it seems to work great.

well it was really pretty easy to get the tire off, kinda like taking a bicycle tire off a rim. took a little couching to get it to break the bead.
