Re: Any way to balance wheels??
try a real small tire shop like the local hicks you wouldnt let touch anything normally. They are more likely to give it a go than the name brand shops

Re: Any way to balance wheels??
I found a shopvthat had a cone to fit the wheels. The balance is not the problem. The tires are out of true and not made for the road. The shop that sold me the set builds custom carts and has had similar problems. He has some kind of kit that you put a liquid bead inside the tire then spin it and he says it helps tremendously. Basically I have the wrong type of tires for the cart

try airsoft bb's. Not sure if it will work on low speeds, but have heard of it working on bias ply tires. You should be able to get them at any sporting goods store or Wallly World. Good luck.

Re: Any way to balance wheels??
You might get more noise at low speeds with the beads or bb's than you want. I know at higher speeds they are silent. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try though.
