You've got it right, Suede Blue Man. Even with a tubed tire it's the same procedure; you let the air out of the tube/tire, use the core removal tool to take out the valve core, add the Ride On, reinstall the core, and inflate the tube/tire to proper PSI.
I've a big fan of Ride On, the smoothest ride you can get

I bleed down the tube, pull the valve core with the core remover that Ride On sends, squeeze the Ride On through the valve using the clear tubing that comes with the kit, then reinstall the valve core and pump it back up with a bicycle tire pump. I don't have room for a compressor in my garage... I chose a beer fridge for that space

Ha! Thanks so much, good to know.
Yeah I use a fluid similar to Ride on with both my road tubeless wheels as well as my mountain bike race wheels. Good to know that you can ditch the weights as well with it.

Dropped the wheels and tires off at the Indy this morning, will be ready later today. For fun I called a dealer that was open yesterday (local one which is quite small was not but might have different charging practices). Quotes me just over $210 to put 2 tires on. the price included new tubes but still sounded pretty high considering that I was bringing the wheels to them.
To be fair, I don't actually know what the Indy charges but he's done some stuff for me before (installed my ACR's when doing my engine work), and I introduced myself to him when we first moved to the area. He also doesn't automatically replace the inner tubes, only if needed.
I'll update when I get them back.
TinCup, one other question... When I asked about the Ride-on he mentioned that he doesn't personally recommend it due to the extremely high temps we get here in the desert. He said that he had seen some that caused damage to the inner tube or inner part of the tires due to heat and wear.

Well that's interesting... I've never heard or read of anyone having issues with Ride On in high heat situations. I wonder if your Indy is thinking of that Slime glop?
