Any static balancing rig oughta be able to handle our front wheels without 
problem.  I have had mine done on a couple of rigs now, and static 
balancing seems to yield way better results than machine/spin balancing...

Our rear wheels do require an adaptor.  Jeff Knights of TireQwik.com sells 
DIY changing stuff, and has cobbled up an adaptor for our wheel.  Not sure 
of any other sources though.
