Dyna Beads
Saffy:
Have to say though that if you research it, it is popular to use BB's in the USA with their big ol' 4x4 tyres, their is a lot of chatter on their forums. Although the majority is positive there are those who's balancing issues are not sorted by beads or BB's so it a case of sucking and seeing and there are die hard skeptics. I read one self claimed 'expert' putting the BB's filled tyre on a balancing machine to declare 'there proof it doesn't work', but the speed of such machine doesn't spin up fast enough for the BB's to ever work
If you take the BB's route and not happy at end then it's no big loss you can revert.
All I can say is I am very pleased.

Exactly what I thought.... try and see.
No problems to remove them if they dont work.
Tommo:
I dont balence me tyres anyway, might stick some beads in though.
Ive always found easy start soo slow burning for seating tyres on the rim, always found deodorant to be exellent though. oh and dont try those camping gas bottles, you will lose your face!!!

Let us know how you get on. There hasn't been much talk (zero!) of this on UK forums at all so I have kept quite about it due to the expected flak from zee experts :grin:
Oh have yet to mention, there is no noise from them pinging around inside wheel like you may assume you might get offroad or something. The only time I ever hear them (and that mean I really have to listen for it!) is when coming to a full stop , there is a SWOOSH as the BB's fall to the bottom of the tyres.

I found it nice and gently, tiny squirt, little pop and they was on. No drama, or big fires or huge bangs like you see in some you-tube videos where people use lighter fuel and such things. I am not advocating the method though, it's the lazy easy way :D
