I recently added TPMS to my F6B and now feel more confident about my tires, plugged or not. BTW, the current rear tire has 2 plugs (!) and the pressure hasn't budged in 3,000 miles. The TPMS unit I bought even shows temperatures so you have an extra bit of information. It's interesting to see how much pressure and temperature increases as you ride.
So back to my original question: has anyone plugged a tire while using Dyna Beads? And if so, did an imbalance result from the beads accumulating around the plug? My current plugged rear is on a spare wheel not using the beads.
