Had my tyres changed, and I’ve now got an odd vibration which starts at “cough” about 85; feels high frequency and a vertical oscillation I can feel in the bars. Haven’t found out a speed it stops at yet. No yaw or twitch, just uncomfortable. I can also see where wheel weights were on the rim but aren’t any more. Does that sound like a balancing problem to you?
 
out of balance wheel , would ( IME) start at around 50mph . depending on how out it is .
go back and get it checked.
i always used to leave all the weights on , spin it , and remove weights if that is what was needed , before adding more .
PLUS i would spin it 3 times minimum , in the whole process .
the machine may have a "fine" button , to do fine tuning below 5 grams.
get them to use dynamic mode not static mode.
