How do you ensure the bubble is where it needs to be? Eyeball it?

Nope. You start at the tapered seat for the point and measure to the
outside of the cone with dividers (just like drawing a circle with a
compass) then if that is correct you can use simple squares set up on
the 4 points with a piece of thread between them as a center to check
the bubble. (about like the reticle in a scope)


I did not think the point if it is what I was thinking, is a replaceable part on that HF unit?????

ANYTHING is replaceable. The one I looked at was a simple ground point
pressed into a hole. The one on my ancient balancer is held in with a
set screw.


rides on can be junk, but it is easy to replace with something good.



The off center bubble is due to assembly. You want the center of the

bubble EXACTLY over the pivot, Plus it has to be exactly centered on the

wheel cone.



Getting those correct can sometime be a challenge for places with ???

quality control. They are not hard to correct though.





As for why dynamic is preferred--- TIME. If done correctly the end

result is a balanced tire/rim assembly.
