Yup, used them with a tube tire on the FXLR. The guy at the Zoom-Splat counter said they use them all the time in their own bikes. You can just leave them in the tube when you mount up a new tire. I know, I know, someone is gonna get on here and tell everyone how you need to install a new tube with each new tire. Your decision.

 

Thanks for the reply. We have been having a heck of a time with my wife's Deluxe staying balanced. I'll give it a try.

 

I had them put in when I got new tires mounted about 6,000 miles ago - no problems with tire balance.

The biggest advantage - besides no wheel weights to come off - is that the tire maintains balace through it's life span, unlike weights which only balance the tire new.

 

I use them in both tube and tubeless tires on all my bikes and 4-wheel vehicles.

Work great, and far as I'm concerned 'balancing weights' are a thing of the past.

 

Then why does everyone saY "THEY'RE SNAKE OIL"????

 

Been using them on my Ultra for the last 18,000 miles. I love them! Smooth as glass and no ugly weights stuck on the rim.

They're probably the same people that still get by just fine using outhouses, B&W TV's, 8-Track tapes, etc. Some folks just aren't interested in progress.

 

I used them in my last rear change. They seemed to work as advertised. I went back to the weights on this latest tire but, will probably lose the weight and add the beads at some point.
Really can't say I noticed any increase in tire mileage, as some of the literature claims. However, the balance part seems to be true.

 

Thats funny, someone just got the woman some for her batchelorette party.. Should I used them on her first to ward off evil demons and gremlins?
