Dyna Beads and How To install them
Dyna Beads
They are a GREAT GREAT GREAT product. You can install them by just placing the bag contents into the tire when when mounting the tire or as most of us will do, via the valve stem. Most valve stems will allow the beads to just pour in, however some will be more diffcult due to obstructions in the valve stem itself. You can try rotating the tire back and forth 180 degrees to get them to pour in or if you have a metal valve stem as below follow those instructions. A note from Jake, owner of Low Down Chop Shop.

Many of us have got them and many are probably on the fence. But if you got them, here's how you put them in. Grab your supplies http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ds/Day9027.jpg Cut the top off the applicator for easier pouring http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ds/Day9024.jpg Grab your bag of beads http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ds/Day9026.jpg Cut open the corner of the baggy to dispense into applicator bottle. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ds/Day9028.jpg Pour into the bottle http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ds/Day9029.jpg Simply put that stuff aside and time to direct attention to the bike itself. So I jacked up the sporty like so... http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ndeygo010a.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ndeygo011a.jpg Remove your valve stem cap http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ds/Day9018.jpg Get your valve stem tool http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ds/Day9019.jpg Spin out the valve stem slowly allowing the air to leak. At this point you can either let it all leak out or pull it out carefully. Be sure not to go to fast and put your hand over it, while keeping pressure down on the tool and stem. You are trying to keep the valve from flying accross the garage. Out comes the valve http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ds/Day9020.jpg Set this aside http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ds/Day9021.jpg Hook up the tube to the valve stem http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ds/Day9023.jpg Start to pour in the beads slowly. If they start to back up and won't flow into the rim like this read the next direction. If not skip over the next part for difficult bikes. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ds/Day9032.jpg In some cases your beads may not flow in easily. My Big Dog was no problem the Harley was so I got to thinking outside the box sense I didn't have an engraver to aid me.Now once you have all your beads in, remove the tube. If you had to do the difficulty step, tighten the nut. |
Re-insert your valve in the stem
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Indeygo004.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ds/Day9018.jpg Fill it with the proper air level http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Indeygo007.jpg Check the pressure to make sure its right. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Indeygo008.jpg Now replace your valve stem cap http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Indeygo009.jpg Repeat for the rear or other tire http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Indeygo023.jpg Out with the valve http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Indeygo019.jpg Fill and re-assemble and put the valve stem back on. Ride and enjoy a smooth ride http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Indeygo012.jpg Again, contact Jake or just buy them off his website. he'll ship them to you SUPER FAST!! ALSO, THIS IS A BIG ONE... BUY 2 USES OF THESE. IF YOUR BIKE CALLS FOR 2 OZ PER TIRE. BUY ONE KIT AND THEN 2 MORE 2 OZ BAGS. THAT WAY IF YOU GET A FLAT SOMETIME VIA RIDING. YOU'LL HAVE A BACK UP SET OF BEADS!!!! |
nice write up...is the only real benefit the fact that the wheel is balanced and you dont see any wheel weights on the wheel? makes sense for your chop, or any custom, but thats it unless....
do some places not balance when u get a tire mounted? |
I don't have the issue, or links, or anything, but I have read that MCN had an article a couple years ago where they tested these things and said they did nothing to help.
|
I know a lot of people swear by these,I just wish someone could give me an explanation of how this works...it doesn't make sense to me that the beads would congregate opposite the heavy "spot" on the tire. Oh and if they work,one benefit is you don't have to trust the fucking idiots at the Stealership to do it right (assholes!) and if you happen to spin your tire on the rim,the beads would keep the balance correct. Oh and you can go to car tire places and have your tires changed for $5-10 bucks or even free if you buy your tires there. Discount tire back home changed mine a couple times for free in a pinch,no balance tho'. Besides,with some tire bars and a bar stool,I can swap my own tires but I don't have a balancer.

hmmm here's what they say...
|
You'd think they'd have some sort of video evidence of something this revolutionary actually working.
|
It makes no difference what the tire is mounted to. Chop, sportbike, car, truck...
These fucking things work like you would not believe!!!! Take my fuckin word!! I have ran these all year in both bikes. I want to run them in every tire I own. Tiggers attached files explain it. I think of it as the beads spin out to the interior imperfections of the tire, fills in those imperfections and balances the tire. Understanding that it is the tire that is out of balence not the rim. I believe Drewpy has these in the RC as well. |
ok here's a demonstration that makes some sense!

interesting
|
im not arguing that they dont work, but ive never had a tire cupping problem that i know of, and ive never lost a wheel weight, so how is it better?
|
ummm aren't those chrome rims my brother? How about not having that gunk from stick on weights on them or even the weights uglying up your rims? How about not having some fucking idiot at the stealership scratch up your rims removing said weights. :idk: but I've had to go back to have my balance redone several times in the past and I've had huge problems with performance tires and balancing in the past on different cars and trucks I've owned.

thats why my question is are they better. its a great idea if they work, gman says they do, but if its just for aesthetic aspects, thats perfectly fine, but not worth the extra hassle they would cause me. never spun a tire on a streetbike-on my racebike whenever i get a new tire mounted, it moves about a 1/8" after the 1st launch, then never again |

Forget the cosmetic, forget the tire life extension... it makes the bike ride better. For example... my 9R use to shake pretty good at 150mph. But maybe that was just the tires. Plus these beads are cheaper than balancing. Truely if you wanted to... you could then change your own tires and then throw these in and you're done. Further, you track guys... no more taping over your stock stick on or crimp on weights. Cause they aren't there!! |
I've used these... not this brand for my truck... cause when you get into 35"+ tires they tend to not be perfectly round and often WAY out of round.
also when wheeling wheel weights get stripped off really easy... never had an issue with these... never thought about them for the bike... be nice if you had a setup for track as you wouldn't have to worry about tape'n wheel weights... but I'd only do it if you had a spare set of rims as try'n to change tires with these beads gets messy... :lol: |

Not the beads I was thinking off :idk:(thank god there are no installation photos of those):whistle:
It is a cool idea but as often as sportbikes go thru a set of tires it does seem like a ton of work for balance. I could see a tourer or cruiser liking the idea though! |
that's the thing smiley... its still better and CHEAPER to do this on your sportbikes. CHEAPER!

based on ebbs post, i think they'd be great on a motorcycle drag slick-thats the only tire id bother mounting myself i think. |
Never had them in the 9R
You remove the old weights once these are installed. You never ever feel any unbalance once installed. |

u remind me of the oxyclean guy sometimes when u find something u like, so fuck it ill try em when i get my tires in a week or two |
:lol: gas doing informercials
|
Only thing I don't really like about them is I already get small balls of rubber inside my tires. I would think these would collect rubber and kind of snowball larger as they did.
If they have any weight to them they might add to the heat build up also some thing you would not want ona a track bike. |

Interesting. The video Tig posted is cool.
However tires these days are almost always very well balanced from the factory, the real imbalance is with the wheel itself. These dynabeads wouldn't correct for that since the wheel is radially inward, right? They correct only for the tire...? And there has to be some disadvantage... would you put them on a race bike? Why haven't I seen them all over the paddock? |
I agree about the tires except for dunlop street tires talk about some out of round unbalanced crap.
|
Yes reach around...
|
local shop that i let work on my bike was putting some of those in, shop owner ONLY did it at customers request. he wasn't to keen on them.
|
Well he sucks then!
|
I wouldn't expect billet barge owners to even notice an off-balance tire. I mean, it only shows up when you *ride* the bike... :whistle:
