What is the best way?
I have tried lead sheet around spokes, sealed with vinyl tape -- messy.
Car self adhesive - too wide.  may fall off.

Wrap heavy solder wire round spoke?

has anyone tried attaching neodymium magnets to the rim? These are pretty cheap and come in all sizes and you could move them around very easily. They tend to stay on the rim -provided it's steel!- and not move about in use. I have used them for a while now with bicycle type speedos.

That's a neat looking solution Royc. Nice find!

I put my wheel onto this balancer then added weight intil there was no heavy spot.
