Dynabeads actually work. I have used them for thousands of miles on my previous bike. I don't like putting runny goop in my tires, so I would never use Ride On.

It's not like that green slime tire sealant at all, that all wrenches hate. This is just on the tire, ready to seal a puncture if one occurs. And balances in the meantime.

Not to seem to ignorant, but I thought that this stuff went into the tire through the valve stem like the WalMart goo. Are you saying that this is applied to the inside of the tire while off the rim? I might consider trying it if this is the case. I was always under the assumption that you sprayed RideOn from a can through the air valve and into the tire. (Again, maybe ignorant)

You're right. It goes through the valve stem. It ends up attaching itself to the rubber and not the rim, as in the video slhanks4 posted
You get a tube with the bottle, attach it to the valve stem and squeeze the contents in. How much, depends on the tire size. They have a calculator on there site.

Run the sealant bottle under hot water just before installing it. Flows much easier...
