Dyna Beads

I like to change my own tires while on a trip and was wondering if any of you wise guys use the Dyna beads to avoid balancing the wheels.

I have no experience with Dyna Beads.

Personally I balance my rims (without tires) every 100kkm or so. Last time I balanced them (after 140kkm) they were pretty good.
IMHO there is no need to balance more often unless you do a lot of high-speed driving, and where it’s possible to travel fast for a long time there will be someone able to balance your wheels.

I could not agree any more with you Ali Baba, I was just curious as I want to start to do the best job I can do for my bike especially during my RTW. I never balance my tires myself until now , I usually have them balance when I am too leasy to change my tires myself and take them to a dealer.
