Review on πŸ”§ DIYK-3 Do It Yourself Tire/Wheel Balancing Beads Kit for Light Duty Truck Tires - Complete Set with 4 Bead Bags, Valve Caps, Core Remover, and Injector Bottle by Geoff Foster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just right for bicycle tires

The size is perfect for motorcycle tires and 4 tires are enough in a set. The applicator bottle may fit some rims but not my BMW. However, it's not very difficult to just throw a bag on the tire when the bead is broken. I built a friend's Harley with a straight stem valve and it took forever to use the bottle applicator. I designed a small vibrating mechanism using the handle of a screwdriver on a drill motor to help it move just by rubbing against the pipe. But from this experience I realized that even with the simplest of accesses, it's better and faster to just snap off the side and empty the contents of the bag that way. Every bike I've put them on rides great, no balance issues. I've run my BMW at fairly high speeds (more than triple digits) and still don't see any problems.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Interval
