I concur.

+1 for dyna beads. Smooth ride and no weights or tire wear to worry about.

Dyna beads are the only way to go. Dump them in before you seal up the new tire and wheel.

i just put a set of e3s on my bike. one of the tires didn't have the 'dot' on it, so couldn't line it up with the valve stem. the original tire had (8)- 1/4 oz weights on it. i took them all off when mounting the new tires. didn't balance them or use dyna beads. bike rides smooth as glass.....

Dyna Beads are AWESOME...I mounted my tires and had a shake at anything above 40 mph. Dumped in an ounce of beads in each tire, and shake is gone at all speeds.

And YES they work with innertubes too...you just have to put them in thru the valve stem.
