Tyre/wheel balancing.

[Colban]

I've had enough of rip off dealer prices for changing tyres that i have bought over the internet.£23 for a change and balance is taking the pi55.
I can get the same fit tyre and balance done on my car for a tenner.
The machine that the car places use can also be used to replace the bike tyre for a fiver,but they can't balance the wheel.
Can anyone recommend a cheap,easy to use balancing gizmo for single side swing-arm wheels?.
Cheers,Col.

As long as the rims are balanced from the factory/dealership, I personally wouldn't worry too much about balancing after fitting tyres, especially as long as the yellow spot is in it's correct place opposite the valve unit.
