Interesting. The video Tig posted is cool.

However tires these days are almost always very well balanced from the factory, the real imbalance is with the wheel itself. These dynabeads wouldn't correct for that since the wheel is radially inward, right? They correct only for the tire...?

And there has to be some disadvantage... would you put them on a race bike? Why haven't I seen them all over the paddock?

I agree about the tires except for dunlop street tires talk about some out of round unbalanced crap.
