The next step for those that have learned the secret of "Dyna Beads" is plain old air-soft pellets. I got tired of paying the high price for the ceramic beads and having to order them in advance. I've been using the same weight of air-soft pellets (I use the dense .2 gm ones). A $5 jug of them from Walmart will do about 12-15 tires. Cant put them in through the valve stem however. Only good at tire change time, and only on tubeless. I put them under the bead before I pop the tire up. Work TERRIFIC, and sound like a maraca when you roll the bike around without the engine running.

These dyna beads can be inserted through the air valve stem? How the hell would that work out? I need to get these.. but I just put new tires on and I'm not about to take them off for these beads.

The dyna beads come with good instructions and are easy to work with. Oh yeah, they work well too.

The dyna beads come with a tube for inserting them into the valve stem, although if going tubeless it makes more sense to just dump them in the tire before getting it all the way on the rim. that being said, my tires did not get balanced or weigjhted and are still perfect. I go to an old school indy and the guy told me not to bother.

We'll see how long they last like this. I'll let you guys know.
