I hate wheel weights. I was using dyna beads and with my last set of tires went to ride on. I have about 8k miles on the tires and am very happy with the balance. Run the bike hard and often cruise at 80.

It balances the wheels and I can say that it sealed around a large screw that was in my rear tire. We suspect that the screw had been in the tire (almost dead center) for quite a while as the head and part of the shaft was ground down. I have it put in all my motorcycle tires.

Another happy Ride-On customer here. Second set of tires (with tubes) with it in. Does a nice job of balancing the tires. Have not needed to use the stop leak feature.

I'm thinking I might just have to turn a drill into my existing rear tire right before replacement just to see how the stuff works.

Judging by how the screw head was worn in the rear tire of one of the bikes a couple years ago, it surely saved me some riding time. When it was found I put a mushroom plug in it and was able to get the remaining life out of the tire. Have used it at least the past dozen tires and will not have rubber mounted without it.

Decided to try it this go around, but my bike's still in pieces with my annual winter maintenance/upgrades.

Tires ready. Looking forward to seeing how it works.

Yes, been using it for years, it's duo purpose, it acts as a sealer and also balances the tire.
