Default Dyna Beads Cons?

So I'll be getting new tires shortly and thinking about going with dynabeads versus weight balancing.

I've read alot of good things about dynabeads but are there any arguments NOT to use dynabeads?

Thanks,

Robert

I can't think of any...except they don't seal flats like the Ride on tire sealant balancer... i used dyna beads for years...this past year i changed to ride on...works good also.

I put the dyna beads in mine and my indy checked them for ballance pryor to putting the wheels on my bike and said they were perfectly ballanced, he did not check them before the beads were installed but they were fine after?!

The only negative is that they're a pain in the *** to put in tubes. That's more than offset by not having to use weights however.

.. if you fill the little tube up and use a rubber tipped blow gun with the compressor it work pretty good.

we use them all the time...ony con is they are a pain to put in... i know how this is going to sound... but if you use a "item" that creates vibration on the stem of the valve... they go right in... we used to use a air tool, but putting that next to fresh powder was a bit nerve racking.... so broke down and bought something small... that vibrates... and can get in tight spaces... ya use your imagination... works great!

Every once in awhile, I forget to make sure the stem is near the 6 o clock position when checking air pressure and if a bead is in the core, the air drains out.
