Dynabead question

jd01 · 03-23-2011, 11:35 AM

I am planning to use Dynabeads in my next set of tires.
I've noticed on the Dynabead website and other websites that sell Dynabeads, that they sell "filtered valve cores". Does anyone who uses Dynabeads, use these valve cores? Below is Dynabead's answer about the "filtered valve cores" :

When using the Standard size bead (Standard Bag, EZ-Open, Motorcycle), the purpose of the filtered valve core is to prevent a bead from getting caught in the valve core mechanism. If a bead gets caught in the valve core mechanism, it will jam the valve core in the open position and air will leak out. Filtered Valve Cores are not required if using the Large beads (Off Road, Tractor Trailer, RV).

Note: Filtered valve cores, however, do not fit a lot of the newer valve stems. They require a seat 1-1/4" down in the stem. If you cannot use them, simply rotate the tire so the valve stem is about the 6:00 position, or give the valve stem a quick shot of air prior to checking pressure.

The filter valve cores do not work well in right angle valve stems.
Been using the beads for many years and never had a problem with standard valve cores.

The filtered valve cores won't fit in our 90° valve stems.

Thanks for the info.

Actually had that happen once. Aired up tire to overpressure and let some air out. Later in the day someone noticed I had a low tire. I couldn't understand why since I had never had any problems before. After airing up tire and a thorough check, I determined that while setting the pressure I had let out some air possibly getting a bead stuck in the valve core. Now I always add air as the last step and have never had the problem again.

That is good advice Jesse, thanks.
