Anybody change their own tires?

[TheAtomicAss]

I've done all the tires on my bikes so far, and I've been thinking about trying out some DynaBeads with my next rear tire change on my Ninja.

Anybody use these, and can comment on how well (or not) they work?

I've never had an issue by lining up the mark with the valve stem. Don't use a tire balancer or the beads. Good luck with it and just bumping your thread

I have used beads in both Bessie and Violet (Omar's scoot) - I like them, but they were a PITA to get down the angled valve stem... I think Omar had an issue where he removed the beads and had either his front or rear rebalanced.

We who do not have 17's do not have pre-balanced tires.
