    One of my mates have a car tyre changer and i was thinking how easy or hard it it to get them to change bike tyres?

    What adaptor is needed to fir the bike tyre to the machine? where can I get one if you can buy these adaptors ?

    One of these, well four actually ... spaces off for brake disks

    The balancer is a whole other story!!

    on most wheels you'd probably be ok with the stock car mounts ... If you take the disks off the wheels you can probably get most bike wheels on

    cheers bud, I found a adapter you can buy to help with mounting bike wheels onto a car machine for £99. going to talk to my mate about it as it was his suggestion. He's got a few mates with machine as they are into their drifting big time. So may come in handy

    Probike sell the adaptor kits, and get a static balancer it's all you need, you won't find any electronic balancers in racing not even MGP.

    Remove threaded bar and replace with the carrier and the correct spindle
