I am a dealer for Dyna Beads and recommend them to all. They are a fantastic product. I also have them in my car and truck , all the shakes and shimmys are history. If you have a tire and wheel that required a lot of weight to balance it, it is recommended you just add the beads and leave the lead weights on.

...but my bike don't shake or viberate
When you balance a wheel with weights, it is only perfectly balanced the moment it's still on the balancing machine. Once the rubber meets the road, your wheel becomes more and more out-of-balance. Dyna Beads ensures they remain perfectly balanced perpetually, not to mention all the other benefits I outlined earlier. Not bad for something that "ain't broke," eh?
Can you name anything else that works better? (That's rhetorical; no, you can't). Your system doesn't even come close and needs to be constantly rebalanced. Time to get rid of those unsightly weights.

I have a question:
Some of us hit the road on long trips, often alone and carry fix-a-flat to avoid being stranded in BFE with no cell phone coverage and no buddy to send for help. It seems if you were to dump fix-a-flat in a tire with the beads they would end up being one huge clump, or even possibly prevent the fix-a-flat from working.
Do they work with these type of products???

NO! You are correct that the fix-a-flat will clump up the Dyna beads. You can one OR the other, but not both! It's a pickum!

I've read that many riders who change their own tires don't even balance them and they have no problems. I have some vibration and shake at high speed and not sure if it's just a buffeting thing, out of balance or out of true tire, or something different. I figured the beads were an easy way to eliminate the balance question.
Put them in the other day but haven't been on the interstate to try them out yet. Only took me about 20-30 minutes to install 2 oz.. The valve orifice is very narrow and seems the beads have to be almost in single file not to clog.
I found that touching an engraving tool to the bottle tip caused a tiny but steady flow down the tube. Got clogged a couple times but all I had to do was turn the tire up and the beads would flow back down into the tube.
