Glass Beads?? Is that Dynabeads you using or what? I use Dynabeads which are ceramic beads. I bought it from motorcycle dealer and it works like wonder. Also is your tires tubed or tubeless. If it is Tubeless, you might want to check to see if there something sticky inside center wall of tire. Sometime manufacture sprays sticky substance "strip" around inner middle tire which causes beads to stick and won't be able to balance wheel automatically while spinning.
My motorcycle uses tubed tires and I put in Dynabeads into air valve inlet and screw the valve back on. It works like a wonder, no more "hoppy" feeling and no more vibration on motorcycle except engine. It felt so NIICCEE!!! Slicky smooth!
So check and find out what you have on your tires. Catty
I bought WPS Counteract Balance Beads from a local bike shop. They are indeed micro-glass with a silicone surface. The kit is identical to Dynabeads.
1 oz in front, 2 oz in back. I road 180 miles Saturday with about 5 stops. They worked flawlessly. I can only assume my Bridgestone tires are tubed since I cannot see the inside.
