Counteract Balance Bead Shop Pack Refills

The Counteract Micro Glass Balance Beads offer an innovative and efficient solution for balancing tubeless tires without the need for traditional shop-balancing techniques or unsightly wheel weights. Designed for ease of use, simply insert a pre-measured bag of these beads into a new tire upon mounting, or add them through the dedicated Counteract valve stems if the tire is already in place.

The Shop Refill Packs only come with valve cores, valve stem caps, and the micro glass balance beads themselves.

Each bag includes one core and one cap—the exact number varies with the refill pack chosen. It is important to note that the applicator bottle and valve core removal tool are not provided in these refill packs; these items are exclusive to the Counteract DIY kits.

Features:

  • No more external weights
  • Made from micro-glass beads
  • Increases tire life, improves fuel economy
  • Reduced vibration and heat build up
  • Tires are balanced all the time not just at over 30 mph like other balancing products
  • No re-balancing every time you come to a stop
  • No dust to clog valve cores
  • Guaranteed safe for all tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS)
  • Can be used in tube type and tubeless tires
  • Simply throw in a bag when mounting a new tubeless tire or use the DIY kit for "on the bike" and tube type installation.

Kit Includes:

  • Balancing beads
  • 20 Balance Bead-compatible valve cores and valve caps
    • Valve cap (1 per bag)
    • Valve core (1 per bag)
