What are the Cons of Dyna Beads
#31
I've read where Ride-On is supposed to have a balancing effect much like the dyna beads. Never used it so I don't know.

Sounds like you need to check your alignment, imho.

I installed DB and won't do it again when these tires wear out or when I switch rims and tires I will go back to a balanced tire with weights.
You will really notice the most when your on that stretch of freeway and you run into where they have done patch work every other block of cement. The beads in the tires will be bouncing and you can defiantly feel it

2) What affect does a tire plug have on a tire with them? Will a certain amount of them stick to the plug inside of the tire? Will the plug upset the motion of the beads and cause an imbalance?
...
Can anyone think of any other issues that might arrise from using the beads?

The plug will misalign the belts in the tire.
A push in plug should be used only to get somewhere to get a patch put on the inside of the tire. Many tire stores will not plug a tire of any kind, for liability reasons.
Also, a filtered valve core is recommended so the beads cant get wedged in the valve stem causing air to leak out the stem.
Would be best to go ahead and change the valve stem completely when you change a tire. I'd rather spend a couple extra bucks & know its not dry rotted.
This is what the filtered core looks like:

When I had my bike dynoed with the dyno beads in the rear tire, the bike started bouncing at over 5000 rpm, I think it was around 5300 rpm, not every time but it did happen. A sign the rear wheel was out of balance. Since it does not happen every time it is probably not much of a problem unless you ride at over 5000 rpm a lot.
The rate you approach the high rpm range might have something to do with it. I imagine the dyno has less resistance so will get to the high rpm range faster than riding down the road. Just a thought.

This is what I have but honestly a good set of 3 tire spoons, a couple of one foot long 4x4's, valve remover, some cut up plastic milk cartons to protect the rim, a bead breaker, and Dyna Beads will do it.
