« on: February 14, 2012, 11:21:12 AM »

We have been using Ride-On for 12 yrs now..
I love the stuff...
Doesn't clog the valve steam,water soluble,non toxic,
Will no rust ,or corrode ..
We still have a piece of steel wool sitting in it in a jar and NOT one ounce of rust on that wool...
It also helps to balance the tire...
We use to be Dealers for it...

PS . Knock on wood in almost 200K I have never had a flat...

I don't know a thing about the other stuff ...

I'm sold on Ride-On, got it in both bikes for over a year now, very impressed with it's balancing function. I started using it to stop a leak I couldn't stop with a plug-patch, it sure did that. Haven't run it long enough to document any effect on tire life, but I'm keeping records, we'll see. I did change a tire that needed replacement prior to a long trip, scooped out the Ride-On and re-used it - other than being stained dark from the rubber inside the tire, it seemed to work OK. Of course I don't know if it will still seal, maybe I'll find out if I pick up a nail and pull it out.

well in my own tests the ride on metzler lasted MUCH longer than the non ride on metzler

Its been in all my tires for years including the cobra front and battleaxe rear thats on now

If I knew LD was a dealer I would have bought from them.

cant vouch for the other brand but if its safe for aluminum like the rideon it might be an alternatire
