wheel balancing beads

Here is a new one I have only just heard about :shock:

Looks like its a good idea. Who uses this method and what is your experiences?

Just look on Amazon and put in the search bar (wheel balancing beads) lots of them.


Thank you,
Daniel

I've used Counteract beads in my tires for years. I use them now in my airplane tires!

You can see my comparison here: Dyna Beads vs Counteract Balancing Beads

Thanks for the updated info and the comparisons

I will be getting mine soon. I will go with the Counteract brand.


BTW... I think you need to get a carboard cutout of your old Goldwing and some more Vids. :D
