not suprising at all. depending on brand of tire it can be more than that. Plus any damage to the rim will cause a weight difference. My rear takes alot due to the lip being gouged by cycletech in lewisberry once.

I'm bumping this thread.

Mike how's the HF changer, balancer and mojo blocks treating you? What did you end up doing for a mounting base? It looks like its just bolted into a wood plank, is that secured to the floor at all?

I'm tired of paying $50 to mount a set.

My HF changer has saved me so much $. As well as being less expensive, it's quicker and easier to do them yourself, rather than running back and forth to the bike shop. HF has balancers now too...
