Dyna Beads

usranger74 · 09-04-2010, 03:04 PM

I am replacing both F and R tires late next week.

I am looking at trying Dyna Beads.

Do I understand correctly that if I used DBs, I do not use the traditional weights?

If I read their web sire correctly, I would use 3 Oz's F and 3 Oz's R.

Thoughts or suggestions??

You are correct, no traditional weights are needed with Dyna Beads.
I use 2oz front and 2 oz rear.
Guys running car tires on rear use 3oz in them I believe.

You remove any stickon lead weights and just use the Dyna beads, I think its 2oz per bike tire, but I don't think 3 oz would matter either.

No, you don't need traditional weights, and it's 2 oz front, 2 oz rear.

The first thing to do is aline the light dot to the valve stem. Once the tire holds air the 2nd thing to do is check balance. Then if a tire is in need of beads use 2 oz per tire.

At the time of the removal loosen the valve steps and turn them 180 degrees, to face the high side parked, just because it is easier to fill them.

My ft is no beads, and I jumped the gun on the rear CT and it has just under 2 oz since i spilled some. If my bike rode any smoother it would have to be cause i died and rode the bike to heaven. Once in a while i get lucky.

The shop that mounts my tires put 2oz in the front. The mechanic was carefull not to get any bead mounting lube on the inside of the tire. He does not use the old soapy water slickum on the bead. He said if the lube and the DBs get together it causes them to clump up and the balance really gets weird. Made since to me. Some thing to watch for maybe. And no outside weights.
Thanks for your time
