Default tire balance
has anyone used the tiny pellets to balance a tire, and has anyone had a problem with them or heard anyone who has?

I believe they're called Dyna Beads (or at least those are the ones I'm familiar with). I haven't used them but I'm curious as well, thinking about trying them myself.

Dyna Beads are great. I run them in my Fatboy and my Dad has them in his VROD. You just have to have some ptience when putting them in.

Here is their website

i had a kenworth and then a freightliner, and it's common to use the beads for balancing the front tires on them. figuring out how much of the tire beads for a bike would be a bit of a mental challenge i don't want to work on, but you could get them much cheaper and probably the same stuff that dynabeads likely repackages to sell to us for our bikes.
