As always you turned out with another awesome video! I really enjoy watching your content and how you explain the science behind everything. Even a Layman like me can understand😉
Dope vid as always! Definitely going to come into the shop and switch over to balancing beads! Are you guys still open 10-6 mon to fri? When is the best time to swing by the shop?
Mr Joe is a legend! Thanks for the recommendation for the video homie! Let us know if you guys have any questions and let us know what other videos you want us to make for ya'll!
Update: since getting my tires change and having the balancing beads put in, there has been almost no variance or loss in tire pressure. I check my pressure weekly, and it's always spot-on! So now safety and performance are not compromised
That's great, thanks! Just wondering do these work well inside a regular tube? I've got a 1988 SR400 with tubed tyres but I expect the beads to wear down the tube untill it blows, is this an issue?
@freebehindbars8654 thanks for replying. I had a set installed at my local moto mechanic shop but the guy left those on and just filled the beads inside and left the oem weights on the wheels. I never even knew about those beads, and since researching I'm getting a mixed signal some say it's messing up inside of the tires, some say it's not good for 150+ mph sportbikes but more suitable for cars and cruisers. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Leave them the way they are, go back to have him remove weights onky or remove it all and just slap on balancing weights the original way 🤔
They very between bike types and wheel styles way too much to begin touching on. However, it's an easy calculation. The answer is: each package tells you what type of bike it's for and how many Oz, to put in each wheel. 🤙🤙
@@ChampionCycle I have the same question. At :35 you say the beads find the heavy spot and stay with it. I know they just move wherever they need to within the tire to seek a balance but it doesn't seem logical that they would move to the existing heavy spot in the tire making it even heavier in that spot and that somehow would create a balanced tire.
Balancing beads suck. If the bike sits for a while the beads will stick to one side and will be unbalanced for the first few miles of riding. They are also way more expensive than weights and i have had they get stuck in the valve stem where it let all of the air out of the tire. They work, but they suck
You'll definitely hear the miniature ceramic balls rolling withing your multiply rubber tires and aluminum or steel rims. Definitely going to hear them. 🤦♂️
Been using balance beads for eight years on three bikes and they improve tire mileage and vibration, Two thumbs up !
🤙🤙
@@ChampionCyclewhy do so many shops say they are no good
Highway or in town miles?

We do it all for you Mr Joe 🤘🏼👌🏼

Joe's Metro Cruiser is SEX
I just got my new rear tire N chose the beads...I didn't Know....NOW I knowzzzzz, Subbed Amigo!!

Great to hear Mr Joe!!!
I have a Buell XB12X. How do I know which beads and how much beads to put in my tires? Thanks
Usually it's 1oz front and 2oz rear. But the package should say

They have beads for tubes. 💥
Today I had a rear tire put on and I can’t hear the beads🤷♂️ all I know is their not dyno beads
You usually can't hear them when you're riding. If your bike ain't shakin' sounds like you're alright !
Are there any negatives to these? I imagine they don't work well at low speed, but then again I imagine they're not needed at low speed
Maybe only the mess when you have to change the tires. 🤣🤣
You should of speed spin to prove they do balance
Ya. You're right. Will do on the next one for sure.
How many ounces do you put in the front and rear tire of a 17-in sport bike rim. Thanks
They sell the kits for sportbikes with the perfect measurement in each bag. 🤙🤙
2oz per tire, an almost all motorcycle tire. 1oz for below 100 and 3 oz for over 230 tires.
@ChampionCycle do you remove the oem clip on weights from sportbike rims when you put on a set of new tires and use beads?
@@gn4221 yes. Definitely remove the weights

it probably takes the same if not less time to go through the valve.
It takes longer. And they jam all the time. We've used both methods thousands of times.
I’ve always just thrown the bag of beads in semi tires
Can you leave the weights or have to be removed ?
Remove them.
It doesn’t matter.
I prefer to leave them on.
Do the beads damage the tpms sensors?
We've installed in countless tpms sensor equipped wheels and never heard/had any problems.
Cool video but why not mention how many oz per wheel?

@@ChampionCycle thank you!
Usually they give a chart with them .
wouldn't the go to the light not heavy spot
Sorry ? Don't follow ?

How much did you put in there
If you buy the counteract beads they come in pre-bagged ounces. Different quantities for different applications 👍
@@ChampionCycle thank you
That's a VTX 1800 C
Yeah it is! Check out the Wheel 2 Wheel video we made on Mr Joe's bike! ua-cam.com/video/vhUIM2hSVRY/v-deo.html

👍
Have you ever had a weight come off and hit you
I hate these balancing beads in my tire. You can actually hear the beads move around in your tire .
Ya. Sadly I agree. Plus they make a mess when dismounting the tire
You sound like you smoked a joint before this video 😂
Don't smoke ma dude. Maybe motorcycle smoke 🤣🤣
Great, so your bike is going to sound like a washing machine..! 😂
You'll definitely hear the miniature ceramic balls rolling withing your multiply rubber tires and aluminum or steel rims. Definitely going to hear them. 🤦♂️
Snake oil !!
Tiger tar !!
Sneaky snake !!
Explain it for stupid people. How can this work.
🤔
There’s stupid people and then there’s you
