Ken,

In the reading that I've found at www.gsp9700.com/pub/technical it seems that once the wheel is dynamically balanced it can actually not be statically balanced and still be okay. The problem lies in the fact that dynamic balance causes a "wobble" while static imbalance causes an up and down jumping of the wheel. They say that it takes more static imbalance to cause vibration than it does dynamic imbalance. They claim that if dynamic imbalance is 1/4 oz. or less and static imbalance is 1/2 oz. or less, you will be vibration free. This, however, assumes a tire/wheel combination that has acceptable runout.

Although the reading at this site is meant to promote the GSP9700 Hunter machine, there is much to be learned there about wheel balancing.

Have a great day,
