Dynabeads

[Idaho]

Oh, yea of little faith. Several of you expressed skepticism and doubt about the ability of these little glass miracles to dynamically balance the tires. When I had my new ME880's mounted I told the shop to pour one bag (2 ozs each) into each tire and not to install balance weights. Sure enough when I showed up they had balanced the wheels anyway. 1/4 oz on one wheel and a full ounce on the other. We removed the weights before I left the shop and they were shaking their heads. Put the wheels on yesterday and went for a quick spin, bike was smooth up to 55 mph. Today I took the bike into town to run an errand and took the long way home on I-15. 80 mph and smooth as glass. Yep, the beads work. Don't know how, don't know why, I just know that the bike is balanced and she does not vibrate at all.

I am going to buy a pack to throw in the saddlebags along with an emergency repair kit. The beads will stick to the glue on a tire plug but a new tire would be needed anyway. So at the next opportunity off with the old plugged tire an on with a new one and the pack of beads poured into it for balance.
