Cyclone balancing - Leedunn86 - 10-02-2014
Anyone else had issues with getting cyclones balanced? Cant seem to find anywhere that will do them locally to me as they dont have centre bores. Beginning to wish i had lazors instead lol

it's a pain mate no doubt, try some of the bigger places, more likely to do them . .

Keep shopping around mate, I work on an industrial estate and only 2 of the 7 various tyre places can do them for me!
Last time one forgot to bloody tell me til I was there to collect the car that actually they had lost the adapter bracket and couldn't do it anyway - cheers fellas!

I do loads at work. Where are you? Most places just can't be bothered but once you have the adaptor set up its easy.

Kwik-Fit can, or at least the one local to me could.

I assumed most places just couldn't be bothered, but it seems a lot don't buy the adapter due to its cost.
I know Formula 1, ATS Euromaster, National tyres and Kwik fit all have the proper stuffto do it though. Try them if you cant find anywhere else.

The adaptor we use comes with all balancers and requires 1 Allen key and a 13mm spanner to fit. In my experience a lot of garages can't be bothered for the sake of balancing charge. But my workshop does.

National tyres balance cyclones, takes all of 30 seconds to take the center bore balancing adapter off to a hub type one.
