I just ordered some Dyna Beads from the USA. Will see how they go and if they work ok I'm going to look at doing my own tyres in the future. Will have to buy the proper bike tyre fitting tools of course but they will pay for themselves over time. Balancing was always my main concern with DIY tyre fitting but if the Dyna Beads do what they say they will I'm half way there. I'm sick of getting ripped off with tyres in this country. It will be worth having a crack myself.

TIP
before you seat the tire bead drop the beads in first - much quicker
- they can be a pain in the neck to pour through the valve stem at times
when seating the bead tip the wheel so the beads run to the opposite end
of the valve stem - don't want them to blow out before it seats

Thanks Sprock. The first install will be through the valve stem though as I've lost a wheel weight off my front wheel which has now caused a minor vibration. I thought I'd buy the dyna beads and see if they fix up the problem. They recommend an engraver to act as a vibrator to assist in them going through the valve stem. I do have one of those so I will give that a go to speed the process up. When I start changing tyres etc I will certainly be dropping them inside the tyre the easy way. Thanks again.
