Default Has anybody used DynaBeads?

I order some of the DynaBeads for balancing my wheels. I like to know if any one else has use this stuff? It's sound good and I have a tire with alot of wheels weights. DynaBeads for dynamic balancing of any motorcycle wheel without ugly wheel weights.

Yep, they work great. Probably the best part of using Dynabeads is that they continue to dynamically adjust to keep the tire balanced throughout it's entire life. Wheel weights are fine, but all tires tend to change balance as they wear and then the tire is no longer in "optimum" balance and you can wind up with a cupped tire.

Note: I usually install an extra 1/2 oz in the front and 1 oz in the rear above the recommended minimum.

Yes I use them. I'm sold 100%. I had my font rim and hub powdercoated. The powder coater layed to heavy of a coat on one side of the rim. Couldn't get the wheel to balance. Used dynabeads. Problem solved. No more ugly lead weights

Use the search function and you will find plenty of reading material on this subject, not all positive. I happen to like them.

I've used them for a few years in all my bikes, cars, and trucks.

Like others have said, they work great...

Ugly wheel weights are a thing of the past...

I have used them for several years. They work great. I have switched a couple of years back to air-soft pellets. They work just as well for next to nothing. Only can use them in the tubeless tires because they are larger than Dyna Beads.

I love my Dyna Beads. there is some argument as to how they can actually work from some people to which I say try them and you will see. I'll never ride another bike without them.

I have thought about using them, but my concern is what will they do to the inside of the tire? It would seem like with some foreign object rolling around inside the tire would wear them from the inside. I have seen a small rock inside of a car tire and a groove was worn on the inside where the rock was rolling.

They should be stationary when you start rolling. They're very small, round plastic beads so they shouldn't cause any wear inside the tube/tire.
