Default New tire & wheel balancing...OOPS!

I am in the middle of a fork seal replacement and decided to replace the front tire whilest I had it off the bike.I had removed the rotor to clean off all the nasty fork oil and disintegrated brake pad that the leaking seal had caused. OOPS!

If you take the wheel in to the shop to have them mount & balance it, don't take the brake rotor off first. They cannot balance it w/o the rotor attached. Cost me an extra trip (20mi) & a couple of extra hours of my time.[/b]
