No disrespect but with Ride On you won't need that plug kit and compressor. Plus you will have more confidence going down the road.

Been using it to balance my tires for years, seems to work quite well. I haven't found out how it works on leaks,,,,touch wood.

Went out to ride a couple years ago and had a flat rear (tubed tire). Found a nail or screw (don't remember) in it, Pulled it out, pumped it up, spun it around a couple of times and waited. Couple hours later, it hadn't lost an ounce so I rode over to my indie to get it fixed. After the ride it was still holding air just fine. I was wondering if it was worth it on a tubed tire, but it certainly saved the day for me. Realize, if the tube is ripped it probably won't work. At any rate I won't ride without it!

Can you use it with bikes that have the tire pressure system?

Based on some past threads there seems to be a lot of plugged tire haters. But plugging a tire with
Ride-On seems to be ok. Why the difference?

is this the same green slime stuff my ricer buddy is always trying to talk me into trying or are there other, similar and effective seal/balance fluids on the market?

I ask because a google search for ride on showed a yellowish goo bottle. not sure if it's changed, if this is a similar product or if anyone has used both and prefers one over the other.

Yes, it is the yellow colored stuff and no, it isn't the same as the green slime.

I wouldn't put the green slime in my bike tires although I've used it in my off-road ATV tires.
