Thumbs up Regarding flat tires

Has anyone else used Ride-On tire sealant? I just had it put in a new set of MC II's and hope I don't have to find out about the puncture feature but the balancing is nice. Also claims to increase tire longevity. Pretty interesting video in this link.

Im using it now for a couple of seasons, havent had a flat, I noticed after sitting thru the winter I didnt have to add any air to the tires when I took it out for a ride. My sons bike was down to 15# if there is really a correlation. Im going to replace my front tire in a couple weeks so I will see if its messy when it gets dismounted.

It may also be good to run a finger across it to see if it is still pliable, like in the videos too. Thanks, and looking forward to your report!

i have it in the tires on my 2012 CVO. Before, never could get vibration out of rear. Ride on installed and it is gone. put it in the Front balance was perfect, then had to have front replaced due to sidewall cracking, did not re-install, Checked front tire 2 weeks later for air pressure down 5 lbs from 40 to 35, rear still at 40lbs pressure. Added ride on for ride to Daytona perfect balance, get back yesterday after riding in rain all day. Check air pressure this am while cleaning up bike, front 40, rear 40. I'm sold. seems to work. I heat mine in the microwave for 20 seconds before installing as it seems to go in easier.

Never had any exerience with it helping prevent a flat that i know of.

I just changed tires and added the stuff. I was real nervous about removing the wheel weights but it worked just fine. Smoother now than before with the old tires. I really don't want to find out about the puncture part though.

Actually I did as I thought I remembered posting about it some time ago but did not come up with anything. I did not use advanced search. In any case some people may benefit from the repeat post if they didn't see it before. I have had too many flats and somebody posting about picking up a nasty piece of metal in their tire made me think to post this (even if it is a repeat) and yes, I suffer from CRS.... I should add that this is really only good for a center of the tire puncture and not near the sidewall. Prolly should be made a sticky.
