Can you not just remove the hub from the wheel and get it balanced, I think that is what most do

I have a static balancer that I used to use when I raced bikes. Does a good job and yes it does make a difference having tried an unbalanced tyre.

I have replaced several worn back tyres on my M3W and never had them balanced, it's not been a problem. You can buy a bubble type balancer kit and some stick on weights from eBay for about £60. They work well for the front wheels as well if you cannot find a tyre fitter with the correct cones for wire wheels to fit a dynamic balancer

http://smoothridecones.co.uk/, get your prefered tyre fitter to buy a set, or get one yourself

+1 for Dynabeads, they work a treat.

The balance weights on my rear wheel fell off when the paint peeled. If I had not found them on the garage floor I would likely never have noticed

Sorry, not enough clarification.
Dynabeads in the front and puncture seal in the rear. My local tyre fitter had no problem dynamically balancing the rear rim. It fitted on his machine without a problem.

Yep agreed. I have Dynabeads in the front tyres and they are very effective and have the puncture seal in the rear. I forgot myself when suggesting using the beads in the rear. They would work but the puncture seal is far more important
