(But for video time contraints he is just showing us method which stated is incorrect)
To get more technical, when using a balancer that has bearings, the bearings need to be large with many small balls to eliminate "cogging" and false readings.
I guess I will have to put my money where my mouth is (or keyboard and fingers) and add that to our list of videos for our site at Track Star.

out of all the balancer's ive tried over the year's...the dubro come's back as being THE most accurate.....you can balance rims on it if need be.....The Magnet balancer is better for rims but the dubro is sensitive enough to pick up on a outta wack rim.
the putty is also wrong for the rim combo he was using....blah there's Too many thing's wrong with that vid.
