Default Dyna beads question

Hi I just purchaced a chrome rim for my 18 Street Glide and I really don't want to put the weights on the outside of the rim, has anyone here used those Dyna beads and what were your opinions of them. I can get them on Amazon and the reviews there seem pretty good for the most part, just wanted some of your thoughts. Thanks.

I use them, only issue is potential mess when changing tires. They work.

Been running them for a few years now with no issues, very happy with them.

Use RIDE-ON, I use Dyna Beads and they're a PITA when checking air pressure. They clog the shrader valve evert time. You have to put the valve on the bottom (close to the ground). And carry extras with a tool.
They sell a clog resistant valve but they don't fit all stems.

^^^^^This, ride on imho is way better, puncture sealer as well...love it, I’ve been using it for years after I quit using Dyna beads...they both balance good but the gel is better. I’ve never had a installer complain.

I'm using Dyna Beads in both tubeless cast wheels and tubed spoke wheels … Love them and no problems in either … both give a smooth ride … as Ranger mentioned about clogging the stem … before I check air pressure I give them a quick shot of air to clear the stem … this has worked good for me ...
