Default Counteract Balancing Beads

Bought these from a local shop a couple days ago:

http://www.chromeworld.com/ProductDe...=&ptct=&CTitle=&

The vendor claimed they GREATLY improve the stability of the bike. I bought a pair for myself and my father. Before I open them I would like to find out if any of you guys have some feedback on this type of item.

Looking forward to your responses guys!

Do a search and hit the red button after putting in Dyna Beads

You'll have all the info you need.

Never heard of that brand, but I use Dyna Beads, and they work great.
This product looks to be similar to Dyna Beads, so I'm sure they will work well too.
Either way, they work a hell of a lot better than ugly wheel weights.

dyna beads are a lot cheaper and appear to be pretty much the same thing.

I use Dyna beads in my truck tires, never going back to wheel weights. Just wanted to share that they're great for 4 wheel vehicles too.

Been using Dyna Beads for years now. They work great! They are cheaper than these as well. Dyna Beads are made of Ceramic and these say they are made of Teflon coated Glass. Probably work the same.
