Wheel balancer?
Looking around, there are a few nifty looking static balancers out there. Handy, and 2-3 others. Other than E-bay though, I'm having a hard time finding where to actually buy one. Any ideas?

After replacing my rear tire recently, I just balanced it on the axle supported on two old stereo speakers waiting for the trash heap. I can't feel any vibration.

Parnes is what I just started using. Make sure you get the right sized adapters for your bikes. Marc can tell you what you need. His simple design is pretty fool proof IMO.
