Just Killing Time...
.Put this in the tires this morning.
.Knew from their website and postings here that it might be a little wobbly right at first until the stuff got distributed around the tires.
.Sure enough, getting up to speed the front tire had QUITE the shimmy.
.Smoothed out very quickly and I had absolutely the smoothest ride on this trike I have EVER had.
.At 75mph (the posted top speed on this split 4-lane), this thing was smooth as silk!!!! Did a 30 mile round trip.
.The front tire did not have a weight on it as it had been spin-balanced (I think that is the term) when it was put on about 1 year ago....so nothing to remove there. Didn't check the rear tires for weights - they are original and I had no way to jack it up to see if they had weights. No matter...could not be ANY smoother than it rides now.
.Very pleased so far.
.Bikerbillone thank you so much for the PM's.
.I did make one little deviation from some of the other experiences that have been posted here (except Mikey)...I put the Motorcycle sealant product in ALL tires rather than in just the rear car tires....because on RIDE-ON'S website, under their TRIKE section they stated that if it was their own personal trike they would put the Motorcycle product in the rear automobile tires also (rather than the automobile tire product) because it seals faster. So I did.
.I put 1 bottle in the front tire and 2 bottles in each rear tire.
.And yes,,,it took a pair of strong hands to squeeze it in. Bikerbillone's clamp suggestion would have helped tremendously but I didn't have a clamp.
.So far, so good...well pleased...will post again if things go south.
