I noticed the rear wheel weight is gone.......thinking beads are way easier than removing the rear wheel and taking it to get balanced and have more weights put on.

 Considering beads....Dyna beads......Counteract beads......any preference? Counteract is cheaper when shipping is considered....and made in North America.

They 'rebalance' each time you get going......do you feel vibes each time?..... Do they suck in stop and go traffic?

Never used them, have ridden bikes with Dyna beads & did not notice any issues.  Friends here have switched to Ride On mostly because it also offers sealant protection.  Friends like it a lot & when I have ridden a bike with Ride On I never notice anything, have heard it balances out in the first initial mile ridden or so.

I had the Dyna beads in my lifted truck before because of the tire size and never had an issue. Also ran them in the front tire of my '11 SERGU with no issues. Mechanics will hate you though if you forget to tell them they're in there when you go in for a tire change.

I've not used the Ride-on but have read many post from people that are very pleased with it.

  I have dynabeads front and rear on my 2015 FatBob & seems to be working ok

I have dynabeads in my back tire and will be putting them in the front when it’s time for tire replacement (May do it before if I lose a weight again) I like them because you never have to worry about rebalancing the tire because it is constantly balancing itself.  I’ve never used Ride-On but I like the idea of balancing and some puncture protection in one product.

I went with Dynabeads on my Pro Street for exactly the same reason as yourself 'weight shedding' I would never go back to weights again. 2 ounces in the front 3 in the rear (but I am running a 260 on the rear).

Yes they do,....no there isn't any vibration,.....you don't even know they're in there when running them at any speed.

I run with them and haven't had any issues and I've been from "0" to "90" and everything inbetween with no issues.

You can reuse them when doing a tyre change as well

I've been using Dyna Beads for over 10 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way. I use 3 ozs in rear and 2 ozs in front on my CVO. When I change tires I'll scoop them out and reuse them, all I know is they work for me.

So these really work?  Not snake oil?

That video proves the simple things can make the biggest difference/impression.  Reading all the information was fine but seeing them in action...that sold me on them for the next tire change.  Thanks for posting it...

I too lost a weight off my rear wheel and decided to get rid of the rest of the weights and insert beads through the valve stem. The valve stem did need carefully drilling out a little to get the beads in, 2 ounces in the front and when I went 260 rear tire 3 ounces in the rear, no issues whatsoever. Personally I will never go back to weights again.
I have heard of many people using Ride-On which is both a balancing medium and sealant in the event of a puncture. Both beads and Ride-On have excellent reviews and are well worth giving due consideration to if you are contemplating ditching your weights.

From their website;


* The Applicator cannot be used on valve stems with TPMS unit attached. In that case, the Pour In method must be used.


Not a deal breaker but a heads up for those of us with TPMS.

Had the bike in the trailer a few weeks ago....noticed that the faring shook when at speed......gonna put beads in the trailer tires also.
