Dyna Beads

[90GTVert]

I finally got around to installing my new front and rear Michelin Boppers and I decided to try out Dyna Beads with them.

I used 1oz for the front and 2oz for the rear as directed. Installation was simple. One tire has a straight valve stem and the other has a 90 degree valve stem. They funneled into the straight stem with no problem. They did hang up on the 90 degree stem a little, but a quick shot from the air compressor pushed them right in. I had no trouble using standard valve stems getting air in or pressure readings.

Here's where my review differs from most others. Improvement in ride is minimal for me, if any. I've used Michelin Boppers and Pilots exclusively for a couple of years now on my Tritons and the ride quality greatly improved with them vs Chinese brands. It still seemed a little rough, and that's why I tried the Dyna Beads. I can't say they really did anything for me though. Either the Dyna Beads do nothing or the slight vibration I feel at times is unrelated to tire balance. I've got enough beads left to do another set of tires, so I'll give them another shot later. From just this experience I'd have to suggest saving your money if you are purchasing good name-brand tires.

Thanks for the Dyna Bead review Vert. I was thinking about buying some awhile back. You just saved me some money for something else . I never really understood how they would help anyway....

There is no replacement for a quality set of tires, however I installed Dyna Beads in my daily ride (still has the cheap chinese tires) and there was a noticable improvement
Cruising between 40-50 mph I would get a vibration feeling out of the rear tire, and after 2oz of beads it went away
Your best bet is a good set of tires tho
BTW good valve stems don't hurt ..... my rear one popped out of the rim on the way home from work the other day :-P

Yeah, there's been a lot of discussion regarding Chinese stock valve stems on other forums. I replaced them on one of my Tritons and the Sunl. The other Triton still has stock valve stems I think. No issues so far, but I'll replace them to be sure whenever it needs new tires.
