How many of you use Ride-On tire sealant & balancer
#11
I'm sold on Ride-On, but I've always carried (& needed numerous times) Safety Seal sticky strings & reamer/inserter, which has always worked great for me in cars & bikes. I've never had a flat with Ride-On, but I just can't give up & stop carrying my Safety Seals, which in my experience, has been pretty much a permanent repair for small puncture in tread area on both cars & bikes.
Has anyone ever put a sticky-string plug into a punctured tire that had Ride-On in it? I'm wondering if the Ride-On negatively affects the sealing ability of Safety Seals? Anyone know?

Q. I just opened up my tire and the sealant looks great, is it okay if I scoop the product out and install it in my new tire?
A. We do not recommend under any circumstance, nor can we be held responsible for the results of reusing or recycling (from one tire to another) our sealants. While our sealants might look good enough to reuse, doing so causes all sorts of problems for the operator. While in use, certain components (such as corrosion inhibitors and polymers) age and are consumed. If the sealant is recycled, the lack of these components leads to poor sealing, balancing, and possible corrosion. A good parallel example for this would be to take motor oil out of one engine and put it in another. It is simply not done. The same holds true with Ride-On and we are absolutely not accountable for the results of this practice.

If the guys that use it are recycling it into there new tires then I'm going to also give a shot.

The stuff's not that expensive.
Just replace it with the new tire.

The RideOn is easier to install compared to drip feeding the beads through the valve, and of course it provides some puncture protection.
