Wheel Valve Stems and Dyna Beads

[MossBerg590]

Does anyone know where to get valve stems that fit the 300 rear wheel? Looks like neither Wildsteedworx, bigdogpartskingpin or bigdog.net have any listed or info on size etc.

Also looking for dyna beads, any brand in particular good? Seems hard to find the og brand at any popular websites.

Hit ur local tire/cycle shop. Bet they have one. Dynabeads are getting tough to find with all the knockoffs. But the knockoffs work well too. Last box I got was from Amazon/china. Zero issues.

I use these beads from cycle Gear.

I got some dynabeads from Curtis @ Wildsteedworx not to long ago.

I went direct to Dyna for mine.

I would think dyna beads would be the cat's meow for motogp or other racing sports. But static is the way to go.

Besides, what a mess when changing tires. Guess there's squids in every wheel house.

So you prefer regular wheel weights?

I should have told you what I do so better late than never. Wheel free to spin, 22" of clear plastic hose to fit the valve stem and bottle heat end if necessary,
if the beads clog up just rotate the tire around so they can come back out.

Always. You think it's balanced, but just pouring in beads shows you are guessing at the balance. Statically, you can stop the wheel at any degree and wont move. Beads always lands at the bottom so you have no clue if it's really balanced.

As stated, if beads were the way to go, GP bikes would toss those in... yeah right!

Well, If we ran GP speeds I could see your point. I do know personally, when I switched up the stick on's and added beads, the Pitbull rode like glass on the hiway. Looked down and I was running 95! Thats saying a lot for a hardtail. Jm silly opinion.

I have heard guys running airsoft BB's. The only catch is you have to put them in during a tire change. They won't fit through the valve stem. They say they work just as well and way cheaper. I may give them a try when I need a new tire. A lifetime supply is like $8.
