I have found that the cheap bubble balancers like those sold at HF and NH work quite well. (The hardest part is keeping the carrier mounted correctly on the balancer frame.) I have also found that "pre-balancing" the tires by moving the tire in relation to the rim can make a big difference, as well as giving some thought on placing the weights.
