the balancing of wheels is done on the rims by placing weights on the lighter areas.

so no need to fix the rims back to the bike one.....

er.....like everything fix back liao ..then ride the bike over to a machine to balance....

Heard from a friend of mine. (Dunno if its true or not) there's a marking on the sidewall red or yellow dot. The mech just need to line up the dot to the valve stem,then its considered balanced.

no lah.. gotta use the machine one what.. rotate the tyre and apply weights till all parts of the wheel are balanced mah..

Never heard of on-wheel balancing for bikes... or it's just sua ku me?

Here's something to share:

Try reading under the "Colored dots and stripes - whats that all about?"

 

Even if you align the red dot/coloured dot to the valve stem,you still need to add weights to balance the tyres. But you'll use abit lesser weights lah.
