Can Dyna Beads be run in a tire with a tube? If so how do you get them in tube?

Yes, they work just fine in a tubed tire. The beads go in through the valve stem with lots of patience.

To get beads into a tire/tube easier, I use one of the wife's tiny funnels, then rest some electrical tool next to the stem. The vibration makes the beads go into the tube easily.  My engraving pencil works great, but something from the wife's bedside table will also suffice.  :doh:

A vibrating tool works good.
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar.

I don't get it, how will a set dentures soaking in a cup aid in getting dynabeads into a tire easier?

I didn't have good luck running Dyna Beads in a tubed tire. Using them on my 2K RKC front tire I could never get rid of a high speed shake. I ended up using a new tube because getting all of the beads out would be impossible. 2.5 oz. of spoke weights cured the problem.
I believe there was a ridge or 2 inside the tube upsetting the mechanics of the beads, the tube was the correct size for the tire. Or the Dyna Beads could not handle that much out of balance weight.

It's a PIA putting DynaBeads in a tube.   The preloaded tubes are the way to go.   :up:
