What do you guys think?

I think you overpaid and got crappy service.

I get your logic. I would usually agree. But, the Harbor freight jack has worked reliably so for the three times a year that I use it, I'll call it good.

I think I almost had a stroke just thinking of you paying that for an oil change and a wheel balance. Whew...I'm all right now.

Sounds like a kick *** idea to me.
A lot more fun to show it off when you did it yourself and it comes out nice besides knowing it was done correctly.

i have never used wheel weights on any of my bikes, with no issues. I have never used dyna beads but i can say i have changed a lot of tires with them inside, and they make a mess when no one tells you they are in there, cuz then they are all over the shop floor.
