Title: Dyna Beads Post by RidgeRunner13 on 06/06/12 at 06:36:42 Anybody using Dyna Beads to balance their tires. I recently mounted a new set of tires for my wifes' '98 Le Sabre & put 3 ounces of these in each one rather than have them balanced. Been a little over a month & I've not felt any vibration at all. Momma is HAPPY, & we all know what that means! ;D So I mounted a new rear tire for the Savage & added 2 ounces & so far no shake from that one either. Encouraged by this sucess, I added Dyna Beads to the tires on my V-Star 950, took off the wheel weights & went for a ride. I ran her up to 90 mph, pulled in the clutch & coasted down to 50, smooth as silk. :) The cost of the beads is about the same as conventional balancing & doesn't have to be rebalanced for the life of the tire. 8-) At this time, I don't think I'll ever go back to conventional balancing methods. ;) |

Title: Re: Dyna Beads Post by Dave on 06/06/12 at 07:17:56 I almost bought some to put in trailer tires that were wearing funny due to an imbalance - but the local tire shop whom we give lots of business balanced them for free. Here is the link I saved: http://www.innovativebalancing.com/gallery1.htm |

Title: Re: Dyna Beads Post by teabowl13 on 06/06/12 at 07:45:12 Those are pretty fascinating. Are they available online? The website you posted seems to be for wholesale only, unless I missed something... I did try the dealer search, but everything near me is an hour away or more... |

Title: Re: Dyna Beads Post by clearush on 06/06/12 at 07:57:14 Interesting, cheaper than the cost of a static balancer. |

Title: Re: Dyna Beads Post by Africord on 06/06/12 at 08:13:57 Found them at Competition Accessories. http://www.compacc.com/ |

Title: Re: Dyna Beads Post by RidgeRunner13 on 06/06/12 at 08:15:47 I heard about them on the Yamaha Motorcycle forum. I never tried them until now. Bought some at first from a local bike shop for a friends' bike after putting on a new tire. :) I then bought them online from the source in the first link already provided. I believe they'll sell to anyone. 8-) Advantage is not wasting time balancing & rebalancing. I've had them in my 950s' tires for about 2k now & it still seems smooth. ;D I think I'll keep them...... ;) |

Title: Re: Dyna Beads Post by Savage_Rob on 06/06/12 at 11:39:40 Might not play well with Slime or Fix-A-Flat... just a thought. |

I sure it wouldn't, but prior experience with those products has led me to never use them again. Crap did more damage than good. :-? |

Title: Re: Dyna Beads Post by mjs3790225 on 06/06/12 at 13:52:14 Whoa! I've never heard of these things before! But I do know I hate blowing money on wheel balancing at the auto tire place and still not being happy with the results. I think I may give this a shot sometime. |

Might be another poll topic in there somewhere... |

Title: Re: Dyna Beads Post by 360k+ on 06/08/12 at 07:27:08 One of the things that I don't understand is why or how the beads help balance? It seems to me that anything inside the tube would migrate TOWARD the heavy point, not away from it. Maybe there is a dynamic that I missing? It would be interesting to place a wheel on a spin balancer, acquire a reading, then add the beads and spin up again to see if it solves the imbalance. |

Title: Re: Dyna Beads Post by teabowl13 on 06/08/12 at 07:30:02 According to their website, it works in just the opposite way. I can't begin to understand the dynamics myself, but here is their explanantion: http://www.innovativebalancing.com/HowItWorks.htm |

Title: Re: Dyna Beads Post by lch2 on 06/08/12 at 13:07:15 Quick question, maybe dumb question! This will have no use on the poke wheels right, as those use inner tubes? |

I have the recommended 2 ounces in the rear tire of my Savage & it seems to work. These things are tiny & you pour them in through the valve stem. They sell a little bottle with a piece of clear hose that fits over the valve stem but they are a pain to put in. Nothing compared to using a balancing stand & weights though. 8-) |

Title: Re: Dyna Beads Post by 360k+ on 06/08/12 at 20:37:16 I've got an idea... tiny nanobots that figure out where the heavy spot is then crawl to opposite side of the wheel and hang onto the rubber, for dear life, with teeny claws. While not actually riding, they could keep track of your stock portfolio. We have the technology. |
