I'm just wondering about Nitrogen and Dyna Beads.

A local VTXer is using Nitrogen and he loves it. He says theres no difference in tire pressure due to external or riding temps. He says it stays at 40lbs all the time.

I talked to Gary in Indiana and he says Nitorgen and Dyna Beads are the best of both worlds.

Just wondering what yall think about it.

I've used the beads and they worked great... but if you get a flat you can't use anything like "fix-a-flat" to help you out. Nitrogen to me seams like a waste, since air is 80% nitrogen anyway...

Running dyna beads here. They will go in my next tire too. If you were to use slime in your tire the slime acts likle a balancer too. Don't see the sense in the nitrogen thing myself.

problem is the beads will clump in the slime so you'll wind up with a horrible mess! Laughing

I run dyna beads and have tested them (on my old bike) to 168mph GPS verified with no loss of perfect balance. I also run a special blend of 78.2% nitrogen I get from my air compressor and so far I've had no issues at all.

Dyna Beads work great. Have used them in bike tires and oversized truck tires that were hard to balance. Just DO NOT USE Balance Plus! Had major corrosion of aluminum wheels on a custom bike I built a few years back. Never used pure nitrogen, so don't know anything bout that.

Didn't need any balance on this DS...but I'll toss the beads in the front tire next change.

On the nitrogen...to me...not worth the hassle of finding a shop that has it and the charge for it too....air is free. Wink

Plus, both my DS has stayed at the PSI that I set it at once I found the sweet spot. Very Happy

Hey Bobby, why so low on Nitrogen?? I just pulled off a scientific website the following

"Thus, the present composition of the atmosphere is 79% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 1% other gases. "

My old highschool books said 78.2% so I guess it's up a little more now Smile

Of course I have to keep you on your toes.
