I went down once because I was running nitrogen in my tires. Or it was the dyna beads. Or because I was wearing assless chaps. I can't remember. It was one of those. What ever it was, it wasn't because I screwed up.
I'm sure of it.

But anyway, he said he hit the brakes and slowed way down, then upon accelerating again encountered a front end wobble that made him crash and is blaming it on the Dyna Beads. He's claiming the beads got out of place in the tire, surmising that when the tire slowed down, the beads kept moving, which threw it out of balance

...And this one time....at band camp

I had a dyna bead get stuck in the schrader valve once that gave me a little trouble with the air pressure in a tire.

Other than that, I'm with the 4 pages of responses calling ridiculous on this.

even if the tire was slightly out of balance for a second or two, i don't think it would cause a wobble.

You may want to learn how to change your settings. It's still only 1 page.

Just did this in July I guess I am the only one who knows that I did not have the beads so I am officially switching form I grabbed too much rear break and I am an idiot to some bead thing. Thanks for the idea.
