Does 4 oz. for the front sound right?  I wrote down 10oz but a double check of the chart has me second-guessing.

I seem to recall using 9oz in my front tire.
Damn thing gives me the grins every time I get on it!

Thanks.  I found a calculator on the Ride On site.  I don't usually have trouble reading a spec sheet, must be the solar flares. :o

just put Ride-on in my Valk a couple of weeks ago, really works great.  Used about 10 oz in front and 12-13 in rear.  Smoothed ride and nice to have security of sealant too!

IT IS GOOD STUFF!

I see Slime for sale here locally, is it the same as ride on? Will it affect the aluminum wheels?

I have heard slime attacks the aluminum in the wheels.

It is.  It's corrosive.

People are more passionately opposed to wearing fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than bikers.

I've had a front wheel destroyed by Ride-on. It corroded and pitted the aluminum. No response from the company I purchased it from. According to the bottle, it was the motorcycle version of Ride-on.
I plan to use it again, in fact I have two bottles purchased before I dicovered that the last bottle cost me an xtra 125.00 for another rim.
Before I do use it again I will be coating the inside of the rim to protect it. Since most flats happen to the rear tire, I think I will only risk using Ride-on in the rear. Besides, rear rim are cheaper on Ebay.
