Default Dynabeads?

Does anyone have any experience using these on bagger tires and do they work on tires with tubes? How do they work? Do they extend the life of a tire as claimed? Thanks for the info...

This has been a hot topic lately,so you should be able to find some recent info with a search. In a nut shell, many have used these in their bagger tires with great results, myself included. I even have them in my tires on my F150 4x4. I will never use a wheel weight again and yes they can be used in a tube.

Your front wheel will shake like a mother due to "harmonic vibration" if something isn't adjusted properly. Mine told me that my belt needed adjusting. Adjusted now it's smooth. I think I like that it'll let me know when I need to adjust something I missed (spoke, bearing, belt etc).

Lot's of places sell them, I got mine from Jake Wilson when I bought my tires. I had heard about him here on the forum.

Default dyna beads

As long as you don't think that they have balanced your tire and wheel assembly. Yes they disrupt the induced harmonics. The induced frequency will not match the natural frequency of the suspension and you will be less likely to notice the problem. Ask the guy selling the beads to give you a signed statement that the beads will dynamic balance your tire and wheel assembly. If he does, I'd love to get a copy of it.

The Dynabeads do the same thing wheel weight's do, counterbalance the weight. If they didn't, you would certainly know it right away. My bike is smoother than ever with the beads. I've heard it increases the mileage too. I'll know more about that later.
