Due to the fact that nobody in my neck of the woods balances bike wheels, I decided to make my own balancer and try for myself.  Seems to do the job except that it took 180gr of weight to balance.  This seems excessive, I mean that's a fistfull of lead, literally.  The tyre is a Mitas E07+, BMW800GS rear rim.  I balanced it with the sprocket and cushdrive in place.  What I cannot find is a balancing dot on the tyre, so maybe the tyre needs to be rotated 180 deg.  Maybe is there is a balancing dot, anyone know?

Any ideas?
