Dyna beads work great. I will never go any other way now

Another vote for the beads here.

I've got thousands of miles on them, no issues. They can be added after the fact, but you'll need to remove the valve stem and insert them that way. Afterwards, you'll obviously need a compressor to re-inflate the tire again.

I've gotten them from Rocky Mountain ATV before. Knowing that Hogpro sells them, I will likely order from them in the future.

It is easier to put the beads in when installing a new tire but you can add them later through the valve stem. They have a tendency to clog the stem if installing by hand so you must ensure they enter the valve stem very slowly. We got a module that hooks up to the compressor to put them in after the fact that makes this very simple.

I use an engraving pencil to create vibration to the applicator tube and valve stem to install the beads into the mounted tire. You have to deflate the tire and remove the core.

I've done it with a dremel on a super slow speed. I'd like to see someone try and get these in without removing the valve stem. That would be fun. I guess I should have clarified. Remove valve stem core prior to installation.

I've put them in a tube with a 90° bend while in the tire on the bike before. Just need a little patience.

That would definately be a bitch.
