Horizontal Tire Balancing Without an HF bubble balancer

Before you get all excited, this method will not work on all wheels. See edits in text below
(Edit: I figured out why here    • Tire Horizontal Ball Balancing Issue ...   )
It depends where the CG of the wheel assy is, relative to the glass ball in use.
I have another video that will show you how to determine the CG of a wheel.

Got a 2.5 inch steel ball and hub centric rings to fit larger hubs)

I was really upset with how poor the Harbor Freight bubble balancer is and needed another method to balance wheels. The HF balancer got me to 65MPH before wheel vibes set in. Not good.
I developed a way to balance the wheels vertically using a wheel bearing hub, but it is not cheap, tricky to do and only works on wheels that fit that particular hub. But the method does work. Smooth rides at freeway speeds now.

I was then contacted by a mystery person in the UK who showed me another method, so I thought I would give it a go. This is my version of his idea. For some it can be a cost effective way to balance your wheels.
