i replaced my tires a few months back with michellin commander II tires. I took my bike to a friends shop and he replaced the tubes and mounted them for me, he did not have a balancer, which wasnt a big deal becuase I wanted to give the dynabeads a try. I removed the old stick on weights that were there also.

Its been about a month since I put the beads in the tires... well tubes actually, and I'm still experiencing a slight vibration at around 75 MPH. It has significantly decreased compared to just the tires and no balancing being done, but could the remaining presence of vibration mean something more?

It seems like its one thing after another lately

 

Some tires are just defective and need a lot of weight to balance them, or need to be returned. Thats why it's good to buy your tires and have them mounted all at the same place. That way if a tire is requiring to much weight they will return it and get another at no cost to you.

I made this mistake with buying tires online then having one not balance out well and it kept blowing tubes. It got pricey.

 

Hmmm interesting... I did buy them online... ill have to contact the company and see what their policy is on that. How long after did you start blowing tubes? Would the fact that it was difficult to get the bead to set be indicative of this issue?

 

Try adding another ounce of beads.

 

Hmm I'll have to give that a try and see that helps.
