Help with flying wheel weights

I have been having a hard time keeping wheel weights on. Everytime I go for a ride one or two will be missing. After almost every ride, I stop by the indy to have him replace the ones missing. (He originally put them on when he changed the tire.) We are at the point now where he suggested using Ride-On or Dyna Beads. He leans more to the Ride-On because of the added benefit of sealing tire leaks. My problem is I don't know if there are any long term effects from using the Ride-On. Will it hurt the tire or rim after long term exposure? Does it do a good job of balancing the tire? Anybody have any experience with this stuff?

Ride-On is good stuff. I've had no problems with it and it is used in commercial vehicles. They even claim that it will extend tire life.

Have you guys seen the Ride On video? That's incredible, the guy takes a drill with about an 1/8" bit and drills holes into his tire thats full of air and the "Ride On" stuff seals it right away and then he rides off on it. And this stuff balances the tire also?

Looks like I'll be trading in my "Dyna Beads" for "Ride On" if that product is for real. Wow!

Changing the tire with that stuff in it could be messy.
