I am running them on both bikes. They perform as advertised. I got tired of losing stick-on wheel weights and the beads are dynamic so tire wear doesn't affect balance.

It's a little tedious to put them into the tire through the valve stem, but it can be done - slowly. On one tire I just broke the bead and poured them in and then reseated the bead.

I have not yet changed a tire though, so I don't know how difficult it will be to scoop them up and to put in another tire. They are reusable.
