the dynabeads website has the filtered valves for $1.30 and they also have the cool tool to remove them for a little of $3.00

Hi Guys

I am really interested by this thread as I get really bad wheel shake after take off in my current aircraft not an RV (my RV7 is almost ready for paint) , one question though, have any of you thought about what you would do if you got a puncture while away on a trip?

Would you replace the tube and try to add extra beads or just put up with one tire being out of balance ?

Cheers
Eddie

Stephen,

How much did you put in each tire? I'm sure that the amount will vary depending on how out of balance a tire is, but just wondering what would be a reasonable amount to purchase?
