So why didn't you use the ride on?

I have used slime once when I had a flat and it worked.

Does "Ride On" work on tube as well as tubeless tires?

Yes it works with tubes as well but it says it will seal a 1/8" hole in a tube/tire as opposed to 1/4" on tubeless. It really does smooth out the ride, well worth the money and the sealant is just a bonus the way I see it.

Had it in one bike already and recently developed a vibration on my Road King and figured out I had lost a rear wheel weight. Added it to both tires and it is smooth as butter now. Didn't even have to jack up bike, added it while sitting in my driveway.

It will work fine balancing or smoothing out the ride but as for sealing a puncture in a tube I would want to get it fixed at first chance if it were me.

Don't leave without it in my tires, when you take your tires off it will be stuck on the tire, nothing will be on you rim's.
