Default Ride-On Tire slealant

Anyone ever use Ride-On Tire Sealant and Balancer?

I use Dyna Beads but would like to have the added benefit of a puncture sealant. Looking for feedback from riders that have used the product.

I am going to switch over to Dyna beads this winter. But I did see that stuff somewhere and thought about using that instead. I ride alot in colder weather and I would be concerned that the stuff would bunch up and throw the balance off??? Warm weather climates would probably be fine. Are you happy with the dyna beads? Thanks

I put Ride-On in my tires last spring. I took the weights off the wheels at the same time. First 1/4 mile was a little rough, but smooth right out. I think it contributed to how comfortable my bike is now. As you said there is the added benefit of a tire sealant. I don't need any more flats!

I've been using Ride-On for years. And no complaints from the tire changer.

Are you guys using ride-on in tube tires? I just checked out the site and it didn't give many details. Also, how many bottles do you need to do both tires?

According to videos I've watched, Ride-On is supposed to work in all types of tires including motorcycle tube tires. If you dig through the Ride-On site you will find a PDF table containing amount requirements for various size tires.

Ok question??? May sound stupid but I don't know so I have to ask. If you have tubes in your tire does this stuff, the ride-on or the dyna beads, does that go inside the tubes? or between the tire and the tubes? If it goes in the tubes how do you get it in there?? Thanks...

It goes inside the tube for both of them.

Deflate tire, remove valve core (you need a tool for that)

Ride-On: squeeze the recommended amount in tire trough the valve stem

Dyna Beads: pour the recommended amount using the supplied applicator. (this can be tedious and time consuming)

Replace valve core, inflate tires, go for a ride.
