Dynabeads = snakeoil
And some of you use car tires. And some use less than the recommended high-grade fuel. And some use auto oil. Don't stay stuck on stupid. Get the facts before you line up behind the forum pied pipers.

I used them on my last bike. I think they do as advertised. I will use them when I do my first tire change.

Here is my 2 cents!
The principle is all tires are spinning on ball bearings, and nothing will roll smoother than a bearing at any speed.
A balanced tire with dead weight will match the tire rotation with the bearing at ANY speed. The Dyna beads, or other beads will NOT balance the tire at certain speed, especially at low speed, and it requires AN AMOUNT OF TIME for the beads to distribute, or concentrate at a "right location" to balance the rotation.
You can see in the "demo".
A weight will NOT come off the rim, if there is a proper preparation the bonding surfaces.
Here is an article from the company in the above post, which has confirmed my theory: beads cannot comparing to the traditional balance method.

Use whatever method that make you feel good, but to be real. You know what to use!

Sounds like a standard disclaimer to cover their butts just in case. Many companies do that, just in case so you can't sue them IF anything questionalbe where to happen. Does not mean they don't work and work well.
Also, how much balancing does a tire need at slow speed? If you are creeping through a parking lot does it really matter, at all? That is a question, not a statement. I'm not an expert but it seems like the faster the rotation the more balancing required, conversely, the slower the rotation the less balancing required. So the beads adjust accordingly with the speed of the rotation. I wondered about that before I put them in, still wondering. Anyone have an answer?

I use them on my Duece and am happy with the way they work. I bought a 2011 Ultra SE and the weights fell off the front wheel and damaged the front fender. Harley replaced the fender free, but I will be using dyna beads as soon as I get the bike back.

Dyna beads are a wonderful thing.
Installation tech tip: When the fill tube is stuck full of beads and they aren't running into the tire, give the bottle a quick squeeze (like you would your wife's boobies) then let go a few times in rapid succession. The pressure/suction from the bottle will make the beads jump and will alleviate the traffic jam thus causing them to flow into the tire easier.

Beads
I put the beads in a perfectly balanced tire, They made no change. So I removed the 1 oz. weight from that perfectly balanced tire and it still rode great. I have done this to my bike and the wifes. If the beads can take place of the weights with no ill effect they are a winner in my book. I have used the same beads over and over.
For all who say they don't work, try them, they are cheap, if you dont like them, dump them out and have tire balanced!!!!!!!!!!!
