I'm not sure about your results Tigger. But I tell ya this.. I have put them in more tires than I can count now. Granted they have all been cruisers but they are awesome. I will always run them.

You can't re-use them. You simply have to buy more and replace them. But at like $5 for front & rear its way cheaper and simply better than standard balencing.

So it would be about $10 for me per change... one 1oz and one 2oz pack. That explains why they haven't replaced standard balancing. After equipment costs are recovered, I'll be paying about $0.35 per balance.

They claim to eliminate cupping in the front... I'm not sure how though...

No... I mean $5 for both front and rear. the stuff is cheap...

I have been riding with Mike since I started riding back in 2004. Good Guy. I knew he was changing tires for people after he picked up the NoMar and wasn't sure what he was charging.

Yeah you should definitely come out and ride sometime. I plan most rides on Cycleforums Nashville and on Meetup.com (Nashville sportbike enthusiests)

For you maybe, it's $10 here for the beads and another $10 for the kit.

Just checked pricing... it actually is $5 per 2 oz bag... so yeah $10. I do get a slight discount off that though...

Yea no offense but if I had known that you couldn't re-use the beads, I wouldn't have even tried them in the first place.

Well techincally I think you can re-use them if you think you can regather them after pouring them out of a old tire.
