Tire balancing
How picky or sensitive are you to tire balancing?

My tire installer does not balance my tires, the same weight stays on it, and thus far I nor any of the other guys I ride with have had issues. So no I'm not picky about it.

Not picky and I do most of my own tire changes.

Picky enough that even when I let someone else mount them, I usually balance them myself.

decently picky... not gonna kill 20+ min getting it perfect though. but I take my time.
with the knobbies... I'll get them close... but if it takes longer than 2 maybe 3 min... I'm done. can't really feel it with the knobbs anyhow |

I had a guy that could balance the tire with no weight, just by mounting it. Worked on every tire, every time. He's throw it on the balancer to prove it.

I pay to have it done. It's cheap enough.

If a bike see's 100+ then it needs proper balancing (IMHO) and I'm not chancing that
