It's been a while since anyone wrote about them, I still have over 4.5 lbs of them myself. Bought some little plastic bags as the $ store, grabbed the kitchen scale, and measured out some little bagges with 2 & 3 oz each.

I found this company in Crystal lake Il that will sell 5lbs of the beads for 60.00

Do you, or anyone, have some beads available to measure for diameter? I'm interested in buying bulk and experimenting with my cars and other bikes.

I have an un-opened bag at home (ready for the rear tire replacement when the time comes).  I will measure  the bead diameter when I get home from work.  Currently have 2oz in my IS front tire and it is smooth as silk up to triple digits.

Measurement done.... just under 1mm

How many BBs per tire?
I need to buy a new set of tires ASAP.
Thanx

  The company that sells them (do not know if they make them) is about three miles from our home. I do not know if they ship , but will try to find out. If you want 5lb containers , I would be willing to purchase and ship for cost. If you have others near you , it would pay to split the product.

  The five pounds I bought seems not go down. I have done at least 10 tires and sent some to O2S .

      Goes by weight. I've got 3 ounces font and 4 ounces rear. I'm D/S rear on an A T T. RIDE SAFE.

I know this is a dyna beads thread, but I like Ride On.  It balances and protects against punctures in the center contact patch.  Just squirt in the required amount according to the schedule provided on their web site, and remove your wheel weights.  Used it on my Shadow, and now on the Valk.
