I am having some difficulty in getting my rear wheel balanced following a new rear tyre fitting.
The OEM tyre was getting due for change and has been replaced with A Bridgestone Weather Control, all straightforward.
The (National Chain) tyre fitters could not balance it as the cones were far too small to work on the rim. They had a universal adaptor which could be bolted to the rim, but 'would almost certainly cause surface damage to the wheel bolt holes'.
I tried several other tyre fitters with the same answers.
I then fitted the hub and tried motorcycle tyre places ,but their mounting spindles are not long enough and in any case they thought that holding the rim still on the spindle would be a problem.
Static balancing was suggested ,but now I am finding great difficulty finding someone who can still do static balancing.
Is this just me or is this a regular issue ?Any suggestions anyone ? I am in Staffordshire
