What did you do to your scoot today?

Adding Tyrebeads to my new CityGrips, as I had the shop to NOT balance them.
1 ounce to the front, two ounces to the rear.

It was so easy to add these to my tires. Put it on the center stand, remove the air and valve, then use either the tube (provided) over the valve stem, or the squeeze bottle, and squeeze the tyrebeads in to the tube/valve.

The rear tire was bit more tedious, as I have a 90 degree valve stem, I used a hose clamp around the tubing to help the beads fall into the valve a wee bit better.

Took about 20 minutes total. It was raining pretty hard when I got finished so no test until today.
