I get mine from Amazon, paid for itself the first month, and no more stick on weights.

I have ride on in both bikes, no wheel weights & took some of the foot peg vibration away on my Rocker. Not to forget the added flat prevention.

I run it in my bike. It was about 7-8 months after I got my bike that I noticed I had five weights on the right side rear and five weights on the left side rear, go figure? That's when I decided to go with ride on. Self balancing and flat protection, how can you go wrong?

To those asking or wondering about using it with tubes, of course you can and will balance the same. There is a disclaimer on their website that says something about it still being effective with flats but if there is a slash all bets are off. Also the hole size is reduced from 1/4" to 1/8" inch if I am not mistaken. But all of this information is on the site and why I included it in my original post.

Good point but people have to keep in mind the shelf life. I believe 3 years in the bottle and 5 years in tires. I have not looked into it but should also make sure it is the same compound as that for bikes. A person would think so and surely it is on their website but time is not on my side right now.

So ultimately no weights, and some puncture resistance.....
Still sounds worth it to me. Could pop off my weights, and I would be no worse off in the puncture department.
