Yrs ago I used a Liquid balancer called Balance Plus and it also would seal up leaks.But it was very corrosive and it would eat Aluminum.Is Ride On corrosive?

 

Dyna beads? Any thing like Mardi Gra beads? Nothing like the real thing.

 

I'm curious about Ride-on also. The biggest complaint about Slime is when you go to have the tire repaired, or when replacing the tire with a new one, there's all that nasty slime stuff everywhere in it. Tire changers hate the stuff more than anything. What do they feel about Ride-On?

 

I
ve heard horror stories about Slime but they say Ride-On is nothing like Slime. Tire techs have no issues with Ride-On.

Anyway - I use it in my bikes and love it. I rode him on the freeway in nasty rain and horrible traffic. Made it home safe. The next morning the Ride-On resettled to the bottom (normal) and my tire was flat.

Had I not had Ride-On in there I would have had a front tire disaster for sure the night before.

I love this stuff.

 

Doesnt sound like any real negatives on Ride-on so will give it a try first on my front wheel. Since I run a tube, should not be a problem with cleanup of rims, unless I get a flat. I have another few thousand left on the tire so if it doesnt do its job on balancing, will try the dyna beads.

Curious on the last post that had a flat the next day. I read that it supposed to seal the puncture so would not expect it to be flat, unless the stuff when in settles to the bottom then unseals the puncture.

 

I've had a couple so close we didn't bother with weights, especially on smaller tires, but to say none of them need weights, naw, can say from experience that one's an old garage mechanic's misconception. For those of us that like to do triple digit occasionally, an out of balance tire is real noticeable.

I've had that happen on both cars and bikes, go out in the morning, flat tire. You get something in there and it takes hours to deflate, doesn't do enough to notice on a ride home from work.

 

I'm installing new Dunlops on my Ultra tomorrow (Sat.), and plan on using Dyna Beads. My buddy who does all of his own wrenching on his '09 EG (He's a career USAF/NG aircraft mechanic) has used them for years and swears by them.

 

I understand that if the hole is big then the ride on may seal it while you are moving but may allow it to unseal after you stop and the product settles a bit.

 

I have had beads in for around 30+K and NO issues at all. Ride smooth and will not fall off as sticky weights do. Also reusable when you change tires.



I also carry co2 Tool to re inflate after I plug a hole.

 

Ride On. It's balances and seals holes. I've used it in two sets of tires and won't use anything else.

I had "tire trouble" a few weeks ago and made it almost 200 miles before I could get to some air.
