After a tank slapping rear flat at 70mph, I put in anything to slow air loss. That was before Ride-On came out. I switched to it with the next set of tires. Remove the weights as they suggest and install just what they suggest and you are golden. Ride slow for the first few miles as the suggest and you'll have the smoothest ride ever. And I suspect anyone that says it will leave a mess changing tires has never changed one with Ride-On. It sticks to the outside and doesn't pool up sitting. Not even after several weeks. Like more than 6 near 8 when I had an ankle replacement. I expected a rough ride to start but did not. It's good stuff!

I won't put a tire on my bike without it. If it were cheaper I would put it in my cages but it would take too much and at about 13 bucks a bottle can only afford it for my bike. Probably cost over a C note just to put it in my truck.

I'll have to look at it. He put my old tire in a garbage bag so I haven't looked at it just took him for his word. I kept the tire as an emergency spare, still had plenty tread but something stupid I did split the valve stem so I just put a new tire on since it was the beginning of the season.

Not the cheapest solution to balancing a wheel / tire, but by far the best I have found. Used it exclusively in every bike I've owned over the last 10 years or so. There is not a down side that I have ever noticed and the ability to seal small punctures in the contact area is an added bonus. I am told that proper balancing also extends the useful life of a tire so that alone would reduce the actual cost of the stuff. No horse in this race, just a satisfied consumer.
I have had the same experience with Ride On over the past 9-10yrs using it too!

I would run it if I didn't have the T&WW.
I'm sure it would still be covered, but might not notice a puncture. I got something stuck in my tire that caused a slow leak, after airing it up twice in 2 weeks, I put it on the lift and did a careful inspection and found the foreign object... still not sure what it was.
Rode to the dealer, and an hour later, rode off with a brand new tire, no charge.
If I had Ride-On in it, I would have likely not known I had a puncture, and when that tire wore out, it would have been on my wallet.

I actually hope I never have to find out how well it works with a puncture. Just it's balancing ability is worth it to me now.

, and I looked at the old tire when my indy showed it to me. It looked exactly like hogcowboy said it did. It`s good stuff.
