A member here will be dropping by the house tomorrw to put on a new set of Conti RA, and I was wondering if they have the balancing dots, and if so is the dot for the heavy or light side of the tire? :confused:

Dots are only good for dismounting and remounting without re-balancing.

Do you know where the heavy part of your rim is??? I have put the dots next to the valve stem (which is conventional wisdom) and had perfect balance, and others were so far off I rotated them 180 degrees rather than add a ton of weight.

I think this issue is way over-rated anyway. Compared to the total weight of an ST rim (no lightweight design there) and tire, even a couple of ounces of balance weight is trivial in the grand scheme of things.
