if you guys read my edit on my very first post, I attempted to fix it. I was unable to edit the title.

Yeah, I hate that you can'T go edit the title. I guess that keeps people from changing it to something totally different?

Ah ha, I see. Interesting read Tom.

one thing i dont understand...all but 1 of the rifles are loaded and nobody is supposed to know which one is unloaded but what about recoil ?

Why? I have never heard that.

Frog rape!!! That's funny stuff right there!!

The frog was asking for it. With those "come hither eyes" and all.

Yep. I would imagine bullets are cheap compared to lethal injection as well. But I have no idea.

After exhausting his appeals and when asked how he'd like to die, Gardner told a judge in April that he'd like the firing squad.

According to Utah state laws he had the option of choosing between lethal injection and a five man firing squad with rifles, although state legislators stopped allowing death row inmates to choose their method of punishment in 2004.

Gardner was allowed to choose however because he was imprisoned before then.

He was pronounced dead at 12:17 a.m. after a firing squad fired bullets into his chest where a target was pinned over his heart.

Where were they out of balance from the weight added?

No they were out of balance from normal wear.

I worked at Goodyear for a while. We had customers that would religiously come in for a tire rotation and balance every 3,000 or 6,000 miles. Very rarely will the tires not need to be rebalanced after 3 or 6k.

Dumb dumb dumb

911 Audio

FAYETTE COUNTY, Ohio -- A man called 911 for help after he jumped on a trailer and held onto a ladder while the semi traveled for almost 17 miles on a U.S. route without stopping or slowing.

Why did you find this? WTF

I may make this.

For Westerville, Ohio:

I haven't read this thread entirely, but has anyone checked a tire for balance before they replaced it? What did you find?

With car tires, Out of balance every time I have checked. I have changed a shit ton of auto tires.

Speaking of which, what kind of oil do you use?

Maybe.

Is the site going down again??

I couldn't find your intro thread...

Welcome to the site.

never had a stock honda weight fall off my rim...ever.

If i pull the tire off to install a patch, why wouldn't i put on the balancer before re-installing on the bike?

gotta say, after reading their website, i'm not totally freaked out by it, HOWEVER if it's not "good enough" for cars and SUV's there is no way in hell they are "good enough" for my motorcycle.

I'll stick to my $30 balancer and wheel weights. at least i can see that it is perfectly balanced before re-installing, rather than just "hope" that once i get rolling that they are working properly.

Not good enough for cars?

I have never had a weight fall off but have seen many car tire that stick on and clip on have fallen off. They are dangerous when they do.

No everyone has a balancer to use, myself included.

How long does the wheel stay in balance? You say you "know" they are balanced but they don't stay that way.

Welcome.

Welcome to the site.

My bike and my life are not for "trying" something. I will wait until its proven or dis-proven but like I said from a physics standpoint, they wouldnt work on high RPM machines. At least IMO. People are confusing "balancing" with having a flat spot or "out of round" area of tire for the beads to fill to offset the difference in weight from the other side and that is not the case. The beads will just roll around in your tire until the RPM's reach a fast enough speed to overcome gravity and hold them to the wall of the tire. And that place they stay at RPM is not necessarily where they need to be from a weight perspective.

Has anyone that has used them posted a negative review of them? I won't ever use conventional weights on my bike now.

Oh, and just for reference, all of you people saying that they work great when you put them on your balencer must be full of shit considering that even on the DynaBeads FAQ page, they say.......

Q: Can I put the tire on a balancer to see if it's working?

A: No. Dyna Beads operates on physics principles, and requires the tire assembly to be in motion against a road surface to detect the exact counterbalance position. An electronic balancer has a solid, fixed mount, and does not allow the tire to react to imbalance.

Hmmm. I guess all of you that balanced your tires and said its working evidently dont understand how they work... OR... Its complete bullshit...

Not to mention even they say they dont work until 25-35mph but exact speeds depend on tire diameter. That means that when you are below their "fake" recommended speeds, your tires are now extremely out of balance since you have weights just sitting at the bottom of the tire.

Don't think anyone said they put them on their balancer.

Why can't I just put sand in my tire?

Back in the day some used to put a few golf balls in semi tires to balance them. The guy I talked to said they worked good, didn't say how mnay they used though.

now what happens when those ceramic beads stick together?, what happens when the inside of your tire is textured? what happens when you have a tire patched/ plugged?

What happens when your wheel weight falls off? What happens when you plug your tire? Do you always rebalance it? How often do you check your balance?

You're resurrecting alllll the old threads lately, ain'cha

A quick one you are.
