I use it. Easy application, works as advertised, no ugly weights or balancing at all for that matter to worry about, prevents flats or so they say. I'll never go back to weights that's for sure. So what's to question?

Picked some up at JPs in Sturgis and it certainly balances the tires.
I haven't had a flat yet......then again perhaps I should check my tires because perhaps I've picked up a nail and didn't know it.

I will use it forever more.
IMO well worth the money.

I'm on my 3 set of tires running with it. I wouldn't leave home without it in my tires.

I recently changed to a 250 rear tire and decided to give "Ride On" a try. I'm sticking with it because of the perfect balancing it provides with no weights. If it manages to temporarily seal a leak for me some day, so much the better I suppose.

I tried it just for the balancing part. If it stops a leak that would just be a bonus. Balancing was great. Smoothest I've ever had. And I'd swear I put air in my tires less often now but that may be a head trip I'm playing with myself. I added air back in March and just recently added air again for the first time. But I think that was largely due to temps rising for the summer and they are now dropping off. I still think if I hadn't been checking so often I still wouldn't have needed to add air though. I can see where 1/3 of the available surfaces would now not be seeping air through the pores. All in all I like the stuff. But it does take a bit of effort getting the stuff thru the valve stem. Not hard, just takes some effort.
