Wheel Balancing - Dyna Beads

[TriumPhil]

When I was on Valium and Oxycontin I found it w little more mellow when followed up with a couple shots of Single Barrel Knob Creek 120 Proof
But I still did not like running a car tire

What do you mean, "When"?

Good day y'all with the warmth of the new day sun and a therapeutic ride on the Beast, all aggressions slip away with the miles. To MR. cr0ft I offer my apologizes and a strong cup of coffee. If you ever come to Georgia I'm Buying. My form of Valium is a long ride on my bike... I almost OD'ed last night. I also offer the same apologize to all the other folks here. After all one car tire thread is enough.

Nothing like 2 wheeled therapy to calm the nerves. I've usually forgotten almost all my problems before I hit 4th gear. The next 2 tanks of fuel are just icing on the cake.

I just put 6 oz of Dynabeads in each of my 4 big all terrain tires on my 2012 Z71 Chevy to help with the slight vibration i had at 70 mph. I went from 14 mpg to 30 mpg on the next tank of gas. Absolutely no vibration and I can even hit a pothole 1 ft deep and not even know it. My wheels are bright and shiny now and mud wont even stick them anymore. The only downside I can think of to Dynabeads is when I wake up and none of the above actually happened except for the wheels staying clean because my truck shakes so bad now Im wondering if the paint will be the next thing to rattle off.

I've been running "Ride On" in my rear Excedra Max for about 2k miles or so. No vibration and the tire wear seems pretty even. Still pretty low miles, but so far this seems like the answer for me. I will pass on one caution from a local bike shop owner...if your bike sits for a long period of time the Ride On product will eventually settle on the low side of the tire and it will take a few miles to redistribute it when you next ride. I haven't experienced this personally so can't say how true it is

I like the Ride-on stuff too.
I first used it when I got a puncture in a pretty new rear tire on my Voyager. It's a pain to remove the rear tire so I decided to give the Ride-on a try.
I got another 13k miles out of it.
I finally changed the rear because in the cold weather (low 30s); the Ride-on slung itself out the hole.

"Ride-On" for me too! Put it in my Rocket first, then in my Kaw ZRX1200r, then in all 4 tires of my Jeep! When I had the last rear tire change on my Rocket, I, and the people at the shop were amazed at how the "Ride On" stayed stuck to the inside of the tire. Almost like silly putty. I even brought the old tire home, to show my friends. Neat stuff, and a great balancer. Tire changers hate the beads, as they fall out everywhere, and the little balls tend to jam up some tire machines. I also use "Ride On" pressure sensors on the valve stems. Just a quick look, to check before a ride, instead of crawling around, trying to get a gauge on, etc. etc. If/when I let the Kaw sit for more than 2 or 3 weeks, it only takes a few blocks, before the Ride On does it's balancing thing. The heat from the road seems to speed the process up.
