Dyna Beads......
His may have been beaten into the ground by now, but my new wheels give me a pretty good jiggle. I'm running a 21/18 mammoth spoke setup with a 120/70-21 front, and 180/50-18 rear. Between 30-55 mph...... It's hoppy. The wheels are holding correct pressure, and I see no external balancing, they were true when I installed them meaning when I spun them,they didn't seem to get caught on any real heavy spots, and didn't wobble side to side.......
I think I just have no balancing as I bought from a second rate seller. Are dyna beads my ticket to a smoother ride? The research I've done points to 1oz front, and 2 oz rear. Has anyone used these, how were your results?

Did you use the dyna beads brand (ceramic) , or another brand (stainless)...... Just looking for the best first time result. They seem inexpensive, so I figured they're worth a shot, and simple to install. I just don't want to look at balancing weights on my custom wheels..... Ya know?

Turret Plug, i have used both dyna beads and now use ride on balancing and sealing gel and i see now performance difference with both, the added benefit of puncture sealing on the gel is what sold me.

Anyone else..... I got 2 yes's so far...... Need some more confidence boosting! Let me clarify some things, I'm not a dummy or a noob..... I got ripped off when I bought my wheels, got a good price, just not everything I paid for, which was balancing. I'm just looks for some forum wisdom......

TIP..if you have a compressor...when you are pouring either the dyna beads or the gel, blow a bit or air to clear the passage if it gets clogged. Go ahead and order it and use it...Tons of folks use it....You will be happy with either. I use to buy the beads 6 bags at the time...
