They work great - you could consider Ride-On.

Ride On for me too. Last Sunday, I had a "tire issue" and it kept my tire up for almost 200 miles until I got home. Balancing and flat protection...all in one bottle.

Dyno-beads are the best. I have installed these in every sport bike and cruiser I've owned. they worked all the way up to 186 mph with no issues.

The best part is they stay balanced to the end of the tire life. Another advantage is you don't see the ugly weights on your custom rims.

I use dyna beads because I hate seeing wheel wights on my rims. I never had any trouble with them.

I've already decided that I'll be switching to Ride On the next time I change tires.

The other best thing about dyna beads is you can cut a little hole in your tube when changing your tire and re-use them as many times as you want. They don't go bad.


DON"T buy knockoffs from Ebay. I did and got tractor trailer size beads that are too big to go down the valve stem.

I have researched a bunch lately on "Dynamic Balancing". Many benefits over weights with very few if any cons. Beads are a great choice, though I think Ride On has the edge since it will also puncture seal and bit easier to live with (no clogged valves).

Are you referring to 'dingle berries' ?
