Dyna Beads

I had Dyna Beads installed in my new tires this AM. 2 oz F and 2 oz R. Total cost $14.00.

Yep, I'm a believer. I've had them in my last 3 sets of tires.

In my case with new tires I did not use any lead wts for balancing. The beads are put inside the tire(s) and provide a dynamic balancing or so they claim. I am taking a leap of faith on this as I must admit I do not fully understand how they "work".

A lot of KawaNOW members have provided positive feedback about them - that is why I tried them.

Blue Rebel, the beads keep the tires balanced as you ride. They just slide around in the tire as you ride. You no longer have to have the weights on your wheels. It is a great invention and realitively inexpensive.

Tires can go out of balance as they wear.The beads keep your tire in balance for the life of the tire.

I put 2 oz in the front tire and 3 oz in the SP5000 on the rear.
Very smooth.

Them beads work for the same reason car tires work, somebody told somebody and they believed it. Use the tried and true lead weights.
