Dyna Beads for tire balancing?

[ca1ic0cat]

I've searched the board and I can't find anything so: has anybody tried dynabeads? I've ordered some because my 16 y/o son is cleaning up a 78 Honda CB400 and I want to change the tires myself. I bought enough for the GS as well but I'm still wondering how well this stuff works.

Has anybody tried the dynabeads yet?

I'll get back to the board with the results of my efforts but that probably won't be until spring....

I have them in my bike and in my pickup tires they seem to be working well no weird tire wear or vibrations at all.

I've used them on two bikes and five tires (one bike is a sidecar rig). Absolutely no complaints. Feels every bit as good as a conventional balance job. There is a lengthy thread about them on ADVRider.com. Some claim that they will lead to the downfall of Western Civilization, but I've had nothing but excellent results with them. Balancing kept me from changing my own tires till I tried DynaBeads. Now I change out between Tourances and TKC80s a few times each year, never worrying about the balance thing.

I"ve used the beads in my past 4 pairs of tires, never having one complaint. Tires don't cup,wear out fully without odd wear patterns. Also the beads are recyclable. I heartily recommend them.

I have been running Dynabeads in my F800Gs for the past 3 years. The F8GS has tubed tires and I would even go so far as to say they are even more convenient in tubes because it contains the beads when you do tire changes.

They work great, always balanced and no excess tire wear.

I had a bounce in the front tire of my R75/6, quite noticeable while riding. I put dyna beads in (tube tire) and the bounce went away. Just my one experience for what it's worth.

I ran Dynabeads in my R1200RT and they worked fine. Just put them in my GS last night after installing a set of new Continental Trail Attack tires for a trip later this week. I thought the Dynabeads did a good job in the RT and I expect they will in the GS as well.
