I heard about Dyna Beads recently but haven't tried them. Any advice?

 

I have been running them for many years and we use them in all the wheels we ship out which is a lot of wheels. I see them as a problem free method of balancing the tire without having to depend on stick on weights which have a tendency to fall off the wheel. There are many opinions on beads and many say they are snake oil. Dunno about anyone else's bike, but my bike rides smoother with them than with a wheel weight.

 

The general consensus from what I've read here is that those who use them love them and those who don't use them either don't comment, or call them snake oil. I don't use them, haven't had the need yet. If you have time to search the forum, you will likely find many discussions around them.

 

I had my wheels balanced with them last Spring, could feel the difference from the old wheels with weights right away. I'd never have it any other way now.

I've done the Dyna Beads and they worked fine for me. I've got Ride-On now and it seems to be good too. Glad to be rid of the wheel weights.

 

Ive used them one thing i did notice was that when there cold it did have a shake until the tires and beads warmed up then they were fine. Might have had a bit of moisture in the tire who knows. Didnt regret using them when i did use them

I have had them for about 5000 miles so not long enough to make a thorough evaluation but so far they have worked great. I am glad to be rid of external weights.

 

I ran them through 3 sets of tires on my '09 streetglide. worked just great. It is much easier to put them in when installing the tire instead of the valve stem. I had custom wheels so it was nice not to have the weights. I am running Ride-on now in the Roadglide and it works well plus have the puncture protection.

 

Kevin and Devin use Dyna Beads in their tires and are extremely pleased with the results. You wont have to have anymore ugly wheel weights to worry about.
The result is a smooth, vibration-free ride

I use them and they work. It's nice having the weights off the rim. Looks much better.
