    Hi,

    Just noticed whilst washing the bike in the rain that the balance weights
    are no longer on back wheel.

    Something to sort out quickly, or not a major problem? Could have been
    missing ages, no idea.

    Not a problem at all on a back wheel with modern tyres imo.

    Just noticed whilst washing the bike in the rain that the balance weights
    More important on a front tyre?

    Yes. As Champ says, on self fitted tyres I only balance fronts.

    Calling it balancing is overstating it a bit - it's the most rudimentary
    turning a wheel on a spindle in a vice and redistributing the weights.
