Try and try again, but I've seen beads balance tires on damaged rims that could not be balanced in any other way. Good to know, there are charts available as to what amount of beads to put for what tyre size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These charts are very handy when the wheels/rims are in perfect condition. If the rims are slightly out of round however, it takes some experimenting to get the total weight of the beads right, but it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Mike Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Ceramic or BB pellets are small enough to be dropped through the valve stem with the core removed. Wonder if they will all come rushing out when deflating though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
