I'm a long way from home, had a flat tire in Minnesota. A nice man changed out the tire this morning with a spare I had, but he didn't have the equipment to balance the small wheel. I took the scooter on a short test ride to about 50 mph, my normal cruising speed, and didn't notice any unusual vibration. I will ride approx. 225 miles to northern Minnesota today. I have about 6,000 to 7,000 miles left on my trip after that.
Note: the previous time the tire was changed out on this (rear) wheel, it was checked for balance but did not need any weights.
My Questions: How important is wheel balance? When I get to northern Minnesota, should I take the wheel off and have the balance checked?
Thanks for your help.
