Have used the Beads and the ride on. Both work fine for me. Had a puncture on a rear tire, I installed Ride On and ran the tire until it wore out.
Running Dyna Beads on rear tire now and will put the beads in the front when I change it next spring.

 

Running Dyna beads on all four tires. the two on the bike and the two on the trailer ( when i trailer for very long distances ) sure made a big difference for me.....easy install using the valve stem....make sure the hose is twice as long...and slowly pour the beads through the stem, the fact that the hose is long it separates the beads while they travel.

I would definately recommend them.

 

I have not used them but have had too many flats. A few years ago I started using Ride On and not only have peace of mind not having to worry about flats so much but they balance the wheels wonderfully. I would not call this stuff snake oil as it works.

 

I stopped reading when I saw your avatar. This could turn into a 30 page thread, but I am not going any further than yours, LOL.

 

Looks like she is not running the dyna beads!

 

I have run ride-on in mult sets of motorcycle tires over the past 6-7yrs and not only does it balance tires well it also protects tubeless tires from up to 1/4" punctures too.

And it doesn't leave any material on rims either,its all in the carcas of the tire so there's no cleanup when changing tires either.

I can honestly say I've never looked at someone's bike and said OMFG are those wheel weights on that rim?! LOL @ the 'looks' comments.

 

==================

BUT,i have looked at some bikes wheels/esp front and said OMG,look at that prematurely worn and or cupped front tire due to it going out of balance as it wore with std wheel wt type balance.

So running a product like ride on always makes adj at all times while riding to keep tires perfectly balanced thru the tires complete srv'c life along with also keeping tires & rider safer having puncture protection up to 1/4" for tubeless tires too all without the ugly wts that can come loose and or fall off that dont keep tires properly balanced for full life either.

And oh yeh,i had a bike with a new front tire that was very noisey tread design that howled ,i installed ride on for balance etc and was very happy to find it also has very good noise dampening ability that completely eliminated the howling and the tire was quiet for rest of its srvc life.

So there are many very good reasons /esp the safety aspect to running ride-on,i will never install new tires on a bike without ride-on installed in them .

For some reason system dbl posted.

 

I run them in everything, my truck with 37in mud tires and my bikes. always get a smooth ride.

On my truck, 90+mph on a 130lb+ tire and wheel combo its smooth as glass. You can also tell they work, some times when slowing down from 70+mph like on an exit ramp I can feel a slight vibration for a second when my speeds get between 30-35 as the beads fall (remember these are big tires, so they're not making as many revolutions, hence why they beads dont have the force to stay in place) They also help with even wear, 48,000+ miles on a set of mud tires and still have safe tread left is doing pretty good IMO! Both bikes I've ran the beads in have also been smooth at all speeds, even past 100mph.

BUT if going through a valve stem its a real PITA if you buy off brand beads as they'll be bigger and nearly impossible to put in that away (I have to put them in my bikes this way with the tubes) I noticed the Counteract beads are the smallest I've dealt with and were much easier to put in.
