Got a question for all who have tried one of these.

I'm running 4oz. rear CT and 3oz. front MT with beads. From what I've read this is the general rule. Correct?

What do you use and how much? Did you notice a difference right away?

Having no experience with Ride-On, I was wondering if it coats the inside of the tire? Does it affect or need special attention with the air valve as with beads?

Any advantages pr preference to either?

Just wondering and it might be a good read for new users.

 

I am running 16 oz of Ride On in rear 205-55-16 tire. The Ride On has not had any effect on the valve at all. I can let air out or add air at will.

I can't tell you how ell it works for holes in the tire but as far a balancing goes this stuff is top notch. As soon as I replace my front tire it will get the Ride On treatment also...

 

I have Ride-on in my CT rear tire & my MT front. it balanced the tire the best I have ever seen. we have 21,000 miles on the front & rear tire now. when I get ready to replace the front & rear again I will use it.

 

I've been using Dyna beads for the last 5 tires with now issues. I put them in while I'm mounting the tire instead of going through the valve stem. Tried that once, never again. When I put the car tire on I forgot to get some, so I collected them and reused them. Wasn't that hard. I put 2oz in each tire. Rides like a dream. Never tried ride on so I can't comment on that.

 

How much ride-on front and rear?

Thanks for your input.

 

I am running 16 oz in my CT rear....

 

X 2 for me...I ended up using an old bottle of tattoo ink to insert them. Now I just insert while mounting as well. I've tried both and have no complaints of either.

 

+1 for Ride-On. Seals tire is punctured and does an excellent job balancing as well

 

I have beads in the front and rear tires of all our bikes. But the shop that my wife works at. has started to use ride on so I will most likely be switching to it with the addition of new tires. I have heard of great results from both.

 

Great input...

As I ride alone on long trips from east coast to Az on I-10 it has passed my mind to take more precautions. If any of you have traveled this route there are some very long and lonely stretches of road. Getting a flat would be the last adventure I would care to have.

I think I will be trying Ride-on next tire change.

Thanks for all the input. Hope this helps others looking into using one or the other. Either one is a good choice but for me I think the flat protection is key.
