Step 9
Adjust the amount of weight you tape to the
rim and repeat. This is a trial and error approach that you'll get better at with experience. You'll learn to estimate how much to change the weight. If the tire moves slowly don't change the weight much, more if it moves quickly.
Note: If the required weight is more than four ounces, deflate the tire, break the bead loose, move the tire 180 degrees on the rim, reinflate, ad return to step 1. Your tire is seriously out of balance.
Step 10

Cut a piece of new tape weight the same weight as the used piece (or peel the backing of the new weight you're using) and put it on the rim.

You're done! Remount the wheel, using all the proper torque specs, and go for a nice smooth ride! *
