I have just finished balancing and truing 5 brand new wheels for PA. The 
truing was more simple (but very time consuming) than I imagined. Using a 
readout 
gauge, and old hub mounted in vise, a spoke wrench and my "ear" ... the wobble 
is all but gone.

However, the balancing has been another matter. I used adhesive backed lead 
tape (stolen from my golf bag where I have been trying to tune a slicey driver 
for two years), but was amazed at the amount of weight I had to add.
These wheels/tires have never been on the ground ... should I wait until I 
have a few miles before attempting?  

Any tricks to share?

Thanks,

Don B.
