Dynabeads or similar weight for PCX

Hi gang,
Going off the Dynabead chart:
http://www.innovativebalancing.com/char ... cycleChart
80-120mm width m/c tyres use 1oz of Dynabeads.
However, 12"+ scooter tyres use 2oz of Dynabeads.
Since both are correct for the standard size PCX tyres, which weight do the
good folk of this forum go with? 1oz, 2oz, 1.5oz? Bad folk need not apply...
PS: Let's play a game where we don't discuss how Dynabeads are snake oil, placebo, or that scooter wheels don't need balancing. It's more fun this way.
Cheers, Gav.

Start with one oz then trial and error see if all is good. If not add more as required..easier to go up(add) than down go (subtract)I would think

Because of how they work there's never any need to subtract, only ever need to to add if there's not already enough in.

Forget the tyres just use dynabeads.
Instead of posting something you've seen a million times before and try to provoke/be smart why don't you take the plunge and be brave and just try them yourself.
It is possible, what's the worst that could happen. Tyre full of teeny beads? Go on have a go and tell us how it went.
My 2cs says you'll be straight back at the keyboard....

Oh hey W, thanks for the feedback.
I'm happy to take the plunge, I'm just uncertain about how much weight to use.
I asked since there's not much posted about weight, more so people saying 'noticeable difference' without clarification beyond that.
