Balancing slicks

What they said about the tube twisted or bunching. I would break them down. I baby powder the tubes to make them slippery so the spread out good. I inflate the tube a little with 1 bead off then deflate and put that bead on the wheel. This is how we did bicycle tubes so you could be sure they were straight. I've seen then was so bad they tore the valve stem off of the tube doing a burnout on a big slick.
