Dynabeads made my balance worse

[capt.jim]

I have Dynabeads and they are working well for me, I could tell the difference looking in the mirrors, 3 oz in the back and 2 oz. in the front. I had mine balanced first and used them in addition to the weights.

So anyway, to get back on the question I wanted help with, how do I find out if an automotive tire shop can balance my spyder tire short of driving from shop to shop until one says yes?

Ask them if they can bubble balance. This is what I do to all MC tires. OBTW your axle isn't 2". We did have to go done to Home Depot and purchase a 3' piece of allthread to make a stem long enough to make it all the way through. " Don't mention what type of vehicle, just you have a tire that needs Bubble Balancing. They will tell you their machine will do it. Discount told me they could balance my 10/22.5's on my 1 ton. It almost tore up the machine and could barely turn the tire. Holy **** Batman, I found a bubble balancer and all is well.

Careful bubble balancing can do a decent job, but the best balancing job is done by spin balancing. There is less trial-and-error involved. Many tire shops do not have spin-balancing equipment that can handle the Spyder wheels, unfortunately. A motorcycle shop with spin balancing equpment is a better bet, but sometimes the rear wheel of the Spyder is too heavy and wide for their spindle to work effectively. The shop I used last time had to do a preliminary balance to take out the wobble, then spin it a second time to fine tune the weight. It is smooth as glass as a result.

The mtc shop I used had the type of balancer that Harbor Freight sells for $55 ( approx.). It's an "H" frame stand with ball bearings on top that support a threaded rod that you put rubber cones on either side of the hub to squeeze it tight....It took a little longer to balance this way put I have ZERO vibration from my rear wheel/tire.....Just an option.....Mike

Hey Mike, You got 2 rear tires?

Got an answer from DynaBeads support that actually makes sense:

Excessive lube on the bead of the tire. I should have thought of this before I shoved the beads in but I did not. The guy who changed my tire used a lot of lube, left thick gobs of it on the outside of the tire so I can only assume it is equally plastered inside the tire. The beads get caught in the goo and make the imbalance worse.

Now I have to decide what to do next. Should have gone with Ride On
