Thanks for all the replies on this. I believe I’m going to go with the Dynaplug pro kit and the tiny Slime compressor. After talking with a couple of people and a local independent that does a lot of tire work I’ve decided against anything like Ride on due to the mess and possable corrosion.

 

Not to dispute your experience, but I wonder if it might not include Ride On. I would totally agree with you with regards to other sealants, especially "Slime", However, Ride On remains on the contact patch area (hence it won't repair a sidewall puncture) and it does not create the mess/corrosion that the other sealants do.

For anyone considering Ride On, just make sure to follow the simple instructions and amounts to use according to tire size. You'll need three bottles for a touring bike. And as SWThomas mentioned, it is also designed as a tire balancer.

 

Ride on and such may work in a tube. Depends greatly on the tube. If it’s large enough to fill the tire and not be stretched, and thick enough, and of a good quality rubber, you’ll get a hole that the likes of a sealant may be able to seal.

But, many a tube ruptures when punctured. Long tears radiating out from the initial puncture point. A sealant cannot fix this.

Even with a good tube and a neat puncture, if the nail is left there, there is constant motion of that nail with each tire rotation. While this works against the sealant in a tire, it works against the sealant in s tube even harder.

There are a few techniques or devices to eliminate the tube in s conventional spoked tire. I’ve no personal experience with them.

one is sealing the spokes and nipples in the rim trough with the likes of 5200, or even silicone caulk.

another is by using a special mini tube to seal the spokes and nipples in the rim trough.

 

Very very interesting! Never heard of this before but it looks like some awesome stuff.

 

When I was doing my research, i found there are a TON of guys on these forums that use and swear by it. Watching that video convinced me to give it a shot.

 

I agree, I think Im going to give it a try. Where do you find this stuff, Is there anywhere here in the states that carry it?

 

I have a nice Co2 inflation device that works great and always have it on the bike. Also have a rubber plug kit. I also have a small SLIME compressor that really works well BUT several years ago discovered RIDE -ON tire sealant and balancer and I can tell you this stuff really works as I have had more than one puncture I never knew I had until inspecting the tires and one time when installing new tires discovered nails sticking inside of tire I never saw. Not only does it stop a flat but the tire is always balanced great product..
Now let the naysayers squawk

 

That's basically the system I travel with.
1. AAA Plus RV
2. Dynaplug Pro Aluminum
3. Slime Power Sport Tire Inflator (40001)

 

Cycle Gear carries it. But I don’t live close to one so I buy it on Amazon. They sell different kinds so make sure it’s the one for motorcycles.

 

Ride On does get on the inside of the wheel, but it’s non-corrosive and cleans up easily with water. I just had some tires pulled off my stock wheels to do a chrome exchange. With a hose and a tire brush my wheels were clean in minutes. I make sure to warn my tire guy beforehand so he knows before he dismounts the tires.
