dyana beads are pricy but if you are carefulwhen you take the tire off you can gather them up and reuse them

Kinda complicated and ignorant. First of all the video did not get me excited about dyna beads. To be honest I have not used the Ride On yet as I am waiting for my tires to expire. I have a new set of MC II's waiting to go on along with Lyndall brake pads, new chrome front rotors and a couple bottles of Ride On. I have watched videos of both and it seems Ride On has the benefit of curtailing flats, something I have had too many of. Sorry if I spoke without actual first hand experience but I usually do some research before I try something new. At least new to me.

I use to but now i run ride on tire gel.... Get the sealant aspect if i get a puncture also..i have not seen any performance difference...i just had a commander taken off and it was all over the tire even on the sidewalls some so i feel pretty confident that it's working. not only on the contact patch but on the sides a bit also...Nothing against Dyna beeds they did what i expected them to do and still have them in my front tire (elite II with almost 30k miles). when i change the front i will go with Ride on also...the benefits of having some puncture protection is a plus to me. I ran Dyna Beads for the past 4 years and was very satisfied....time for the next "SOUP OF THE DAY"

riteway, It may be just in my head but I put Ride-On for S&Gs on my way back from J&Ps rumble last year. Even tho my front end was just fine, I noticed it got smooth as silk. Tire wear is perfect for being time to be replaced soon. I also really like the idea of preventing sudden flats.

I use them. I like them much better than using ugly lead weights.
