you need to get different valve stem cores. just like the one pictured in the last response. if you go to any car repair shop that does tires, they might have some just laying around. when i do larger truck tires at work i use the beads and they come with the special valve core to be used.

They have a machine that extracts the nitrogen from the air...works really really well
Sorry, thought you were being a smart ***.

When I put dyna beads in my tire the bike was new and I was worried that moisture from the air compressors over time would cause the beads to clump together or get stuck in the valve core. I'm a HVAC tech so I have a tank of nitrogen in my garage. When I did it my friends thought I was nuts. But I have no problems checking my tire pressure.
maybe nitrogen is the way to go????

Little late checking in on this OP, but you are bassackwards when you check the air in your tires with Dynabeads. They should be at 6 o'clock and I like to lightly peck the stem to let gravity do it's job.

And there is a reason mines use nitrogen in their haul truck tires.

why not just set the valve at the 6 o'clock position and let gravity help you?

I tried Dyna Beads once and had the same issues. I didn't have any patience with it so I had them taken out and changed over to Ride-On and now I don't have to worry about it anymore.
