All right, someone has to ask. How do you get them in the tire?
Read the package, it clearly recomends KY as a lube ;D

Why do you think they would mess up the tire pressure sensors?

I'm not sure that they would, just asking the question if they would I guess, they obviously move around inside the wheel/tire so at some point they are hitting the TPS right? Could the small beads somehow get stuck in/to the TPS somehow??  ??? :-\

Well, I think I'm gonna go ahead an try the Dynabeads, I figure if they don't work I can always take them out and mount weights, so no harm in trying and now I'm just curious, I like the idea of no weights stuck on the gold wheels if they work...  :-\

I just pulled the trigger on this kit.

Need a control run without weight or beads to set a baseline.

Jay, Jay, Jay.  Why don't you just get car tires? >:(  Seriously.  If these worked half as good as claimed don't you think they would be included in all tire sales?  I really aint worried about the TPS issue, but the centerline of the tire, on the inside, ceramic is extremly abrasive, polished or not.  I'd rather see you on a pastel pink bike with purple rims and tassles hanging off the bars.  Seriously.

If you're speaking of beads, this sounds like bad porn.

How is it the beads are smart enough to find the lightest spot in the tire/wheel combo?

I have never seen DynaBeads and Snake Oil in the room at the same time. Just sayin ....

Why not C? What would be the harm in trying them? If they don't work I can take them out and mount weights... What am I missing that trying them will do ill damage?  ???

Try riding the bike without any weights on the wheels and see how it does.  Then add in the beads.  Let us know how it goes....seriously.  I'd like to know if they work or not.  Like you said, you can always take them out.

+1

If you MUST try those beads things, then you have to first test without or it proves nothing.  And getting them out will likely require unmounting the tire again...
