Does anyone change their own tires and balance them? All correctly and safe... Only thing I've seen is a motorcycle tire changer and balancer at Harbor Freight. Have a feeling that isn't adequate. Prefer not to keep paying a shop to do said work as the equipment will pay for itself on my own.
just use the axles and if the bearings are in good condition, it'll spin all around until you've balanced it right.
you can also rig up a felt pen or pencil and spin it to see where it is out of true.
Ditto^ its pretty easy to change and balance tires. I started doing it myself after a shop put a huge gouge in a brand new aluminum rim. I swear they put the dumbest guys on tire duty at bike shops.
I change my own too. I use two jack stands to balance. Just make sure they are level. I do intend to get a balancer (maybe the HF one), because I have a lot of tires to change.
