Dyna beads fitted -smoooooth

[caribcat]

There might be a placebo effect going on here, but I fitted dyna beads recently and have found the results pretty good. Having said that I removed a set of TKCs and refitted the original Battlewings for the winter so obviously things felt better, but at very illegal speeds there wasn't a hint of vibration.

Just thought I'd mention it.

Just to open a can of worms , this is from dynabeads website:

Plugs and Patches

Question: How does your product work with plugs or patches?

We have not tested this theory on repaired tyres using plugs, because running a motorcycle tyre with a plug is considered dangerous, and is considered as such by all the major motorcycle tyre manufacturers. Any tyre that has a blowout, puncture or nail should be replaced, not repaired. A quick check with a couple of our largest dealers also confirms this safety issue, and they refuse to plug or patch any motorcycle tyre for any customer because of the potential hazard.

Question: I’m broke down and had to install a plug, so what do I do now?

You should ride at a greatly reduced speed until you get to a shop where the tyre can be replaced. Because of the possibility of some glue surrounding the plug, and the interference of the plug inside the tyre with the beads, you may encounter some imbalance vibration. However, the dealers contacted consider riding with a patched tyre to be far more hazardous than riding with an out of balance tyre. In their opinion, a patch should be considered an emergency repair, which requires riding at a reduced speed until such time that a new tyre can be installed. Your original puncture was actually made bigger by shoving in the repair tool and plug, and while it may hold air, the tyre belts have been permanently damaged.

Unfortunately I/we live in the real world where there was no way I could afford to replace my 2 week/150 mile old BT021 that had been punctured by a staple
So it got repaired without question.

Shame though cos I liked the sound of it.

But if you'd bought an Avon tyre they'd have replaced it with a new one for free.....

Only if it had not scrubbed off the fist 1mm,I have Avons on my FZR and have picked up punctures early on in the tyres life and guess what?Yep never qualified for a new one FOC!

Dynabeads crap!

They say they can be used with tubed tyres also. Question! How do you get them into the tube - through the valve hole! This being the case, the beads must be tiny and to get sufficient in to make any difference(?) it would take a lifetime. Surely it must be an early April fool!

It's obvious.
Cut a slit in the tube, post them in and patch the hole you've just made







Just joking (I hope.....)

All sounds a bit dodge to me........

Brilliant!

That's a good idea, I never thought of that!!
