i don't have a problem with reading comprehension.
let me spell it out slowly for you. yes, the pressure will fluctuate with temperature. yes, the temperature can fluctuate up to 100* (sucks to be you). but it does not fluctuate that much at one time. so as the temperature changes, you check your tire pressure and make appropriate changes. you don't check it in the winter, and then not check it again until the heat of summer.
well, you may, but any one who is concerned with maintaining their ride properly doesn't.

The main reason for switching to nitrogen is because all cars/light duty truck starting year 2007 have mandatory TPM (tire pressure monitor) system, as this gas (nitrogen) is resilient to extreme temp changes ergo not causing the TPM system trouble yellow light to emit during extreme weather changes. So if your bike, car or truck don't have a TPM system, normal compress air is fine.

I've always wondered if a handfull of BB's put in the tire when changing it would do the same thing as DynaBeads. Years ago, there were tire balancers available that were circular tubes filled with fluid and shot, that were put around the brake drum before the wheel was installed.
Semi tires can have a sand installed in them, that balances the tire.

Myself, I'm using Ride On, which is highly rated by MC magazines. Balances your tire and prevent flats at the same time.

Yes. It does. Here in the north we can and do swing that much in a couple of days. and it doesn't take near that much of a swing to change the pressure in my monitored tires enough to set off the stupid alarm.

i installed the front tire on my bike myself, 21" tube tire. took off the original clamp on weight and installed the dyna beads, 1oz. works perfect, and yes my wheel was way out of balance before i did it. over 1000 miles and still smooth as glass, just plain old air.
