    Thanks. I forgot to say that between filling the glass bowl I take the clear hose off to let out the air that was just put in. It wont be much and by the time you refill the bowl it will back to zero. The pack comes with a new longer valve stem with a little cup type of end so the beads dont plug the valve.

    I use a product similar to CounterAct that my tire dealer provides. Same glass beads. Probably just the same thing as CounterAct but rebranded for the tire dealer.

    I don't know which brand, but my dealer just tosses in the bag and tells me it might be a mile or two before it broke and the beads spread out. I never noticed it. Riding smooth as glass, and better than with the centramatics I had them take off (because they were nearing 600,000 miles and the bearings inside weren't flowing smoothly anymore.}

    That makes sence because the first couple miles on mine I thought the wheels were gona fall off but been smooth as silk since.
