How's everyone doing ? Well I wanted to purchase some dynabeads , so I called nearly every tire shop , moto shop , auto parts store ,and even Walmart , and sears, and no one had them . the auto parts stores had no idea what I was talking about . one of the six tire shops I called had a powder called " equal " but did not know what dyna beads were. One of the moto shops said they used it before but it clumped up from moisture , so they do not use it. They obviously didn't use " dynabeads" they do not clump up from moisture . the " equal " powder does clump up from moisture so they obviously have no clue what " dynabeads " are. So I had to order them from eBay. Anyone have an issue with not being able to locate a shop that knew what they are ?

Wow, I wouldn't feel comfy buying anything from a tire shop that didn't at least know what dynabeads are, they have been around for years, and most tire shops have a firm opinion one way or the other about them. I've seen them and another brand in several auto parts stores here in Vegas, haven't tried them but am tempted.

I agree with Jerry that any shop that does tires should know about dynabeads, even if they don't approve of using it. Stay away from those folks!
Personally, I've been swayed by my MSF coaches who said they didn't notice any diff in their weight-balanced tires, my former middle school teacher who's biked for more years than that who doesn't care for them, and the motorcycle shop that used to do my tune-ups who also disliked them (but would add them if the customer really wanted them). I figure my tires are also weight-balanced, same as my car's, so won't bother with the beads.
Seriously. How can a tire shop not know about something for tires that's been around this long? Yikes!

Problem I have , is with the buell . I installed new tires myself and I used loctite on the axle nuts " red loctite "!! Not I can not get them off . even with my electric impact . so I'm stuck with Dyna beads. I'll also put them in the scoot if I like the results. Honestly I've heard many good things about them , but I'll find out soon.
Yeh, these places around here are a joke. Most were so lost that they had not clue what I was even saying " China beans ? " diamond beads ? " , well the one place did say " diamond beads " , lol.

Just FYI, George:
I've been using them for about 4 years on my large motorcycle and think they are great! Did so once on the scoot, but later realized the little 10" tires do not even need to be spin balanced, let alone Dyna Beaded.
Red locktite, huh? Hmmmmmm ...............

Indeed RCQ--- Although they sound great, Much like Nitrogen, Little to no effect is noticable with day to day scooter riding..... That being siad, Diamond Beads are a must  The small advantage is just that... very small... almost unfelt in most cases. I do find it interesting many shops don't know about the existance of such things...... That should, tell you something about the shop, or the product itself......... The choice is yours. Just don't use slime !!!!!... Ever... In any way....Even on a flat tire..... ( It's only flat on the bottom ) |

Yeah, you shouldn't have put red lock tite on that nut. The rear wheel nut is damn near impossible to get off without lock tite. My impact wrench has 350 lbs of torque at  psi, and would not get that nut off. I had to buy an impact wrench with 750 lbs of torque to get it off. You will never get that thing off without an air compressor, and a really heavy duty impact wrench. |

I tried Ride On Tire Balancer and Sealant. I have a set of Pirelli SL26 with a 12" front and 13" rear tire and noticed a much smoother, compared to the ride I got before. I get better tread wear also with it in my tires.

If your tires are not out of balance unevenly from side to side they might work out however its a roll of the dice. I have rolled the Dynabead Dice and lost and it is really bad. You actually need to computer spin balance a tire to know if the beads will work so at that point you may as well put the weights on. On one vehicle they would work until you hit a chatter bump or rippled pavement and then you would have to come to a complete stop to let them settle and redistribute when you started off again which can get old pretty quickly if your on a highway where you are not stopping every few miles and have them go out of balance every time you cross over a road seam or rough pavement. They can shatter if they do not balance up and beat themselves to pieces making quite a mess to deal with cleaning them up afterwards when they pull the tires so they can remove the beads and spin balance them correctly.
When the commercial shop pulled the tires from the rims the tech immediately call out the we had another failed DynaSnott installation to clean up after since they have seen this all to often and were tired of it. They had to wear respirators while working in the area to prevent inhaling the fragments of ceramic particles which they said could be as bake as brake dust to your lungs.
