This was my question too.. how do you get them in the tire without having to tear anything apart such that one could do it with their bike on a stand in their dining room?

The valve core needs to be removed. It just threads out, pour in beads, thread back in and fill. The tool is cheap and can be gotten at any auto parts store.

You can install them thru the standard valve stem...or put them in when installing the tire.

I have been using them for the past few years and they work very well. Always smooth no matter how fast or slow you go. Tires wear great too. I think it improves the mileage you get on the tire too just a thought and no proof but it seems like it.

Kozy, you can buy their valve stem tool or pick one up like you'd use for a bicycle tub to remove the valve stem. Once you've removed the valve stem like mentioned, you just use the tube on the bottle they send you and pour them in the valve stem.

No, just let the air out of the tire, remove the valve inside the stem and pour the beads in. When I bought my kit it came with a plastic bottle and a tube that fits inside the valve stem............fill up the bottle, stick the tube in the stem and let them drop. I put my bike on the jack before I let the air out of the tire.
