Counteract glass beads

Fast Eddie said:

I have zero qualifications here, just a pure layman’s understanding. And with that, I do struggle to visualise these things working in a racing context. I think the rapid and extreme changes in speed and forces caused by hard braking, accelerating and cornering, would mean that the beads just never got chance to ‘catch up’ before the forces changed again.

...and of course, when you're racing, you can't have drum brakes or steering dampers (they only cover up inherent flaws!)
And don't get me started on rake or trail because I'll only get confused!

but... I agree, in situations where acceleration/deceleration of the tyre can change so rapidly, maybe that's not the application for them!
