Never had them in the 9R

You remove the old weights once these are installed.

You never ever feel any unbalance once installed.

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.
