Ride On for car tires / rear trike tires ???

[abefroman]

Does Ride-On make sealant / balancer for the rear car tires on trikes ? All of the ones I see for sale on amazon / online seem for motorcycle tires only. anyone ?

cheers

[abefroman]

nevermind. I found their website...

Somewhere in the literature on Ride-On’s website it states they recommend motorcycle sealant for the car tires on the rear of the trike....as I understand it they feel the motorcycle sealant seals quicker than the car tire sealant and that it is more critical for motorcycles to have the fastest sealant action as opposed to a car.

That’s what I did with mine - put motorcycle sealant all around. I’m still just totally amazed - even as soon as yesterday on the highway - how smooth and steady the ride is. On a nice road I can turn loose of the handlebars and she tracks straight down the road - until a slight deviation in the road surface is encountered - as would be normal.

Keep in mind that if it is cold or you haven’t ridden the trike in several days that the ride will feel a little “shakey” until the Ride-On redistributes itself inside the tire - maybe 5 miles at highway speed...then she smooths out.

I've been using Ride On for several years now, good stuff in my opinion. Anyone interested could go to the web site and read all about it.

Got my Avon on yesterday & it now has Ride On installed . Already had beads installed on new rears so it may be a loooonnnggg time before Ride On makes it to the rear. Hope it does as well balancing as Dyna Beads did. New Avon looks great. Even nicer than old style.

Bill.. just remember... after the bike has sat in the garage for a few days...the first time out with it the tire will feel a little wobbly. That’s just the Ride-On redistributing itself within the tire. You can feel it during the colder weather more than the warmer. It will stop that wobbly feel in a mile or 2. Then YOU can wave your arms in the air like you just don’t care!!!!! See ya’ll here in Kerrville!

Well just did about 220 miles. Not sure it is any better than Dyna Beads as far as balance. It is easier to install on a mounted tire & if it seals a nail i guess it is better. . Is this how ya do it lolol cya in Sept

My Air Soft plastic BBs don't do that "wobbly" deal, they work before I get up to "wobbly speed" …

… and I wonder how many are riding around with just a little squirt of gummy ride on sealing an otherwise, unrepaired hole?

I plan on ride on in the trike tires when I get them replaced. I just don't see the Bennie of spending about $100 on tires that may only be on the trike about 5k miles more ... Having said that, I had it in the 03 Wing (2 wheeler) and the 06 Wing (2 wheeler), both rode really smooth ... and I took the weights off ...

After about 1700 miles ,I dont feel Ride-On is as good as Dyna Beads. Always seems to have a buzz in the handlebars. O well

Oh wow Bill! Sorry to hear! Maybe the difference somehow is between a Gold Wing and a Harley?

I originally put it in my tires for the following reasons:

1). If the puncture is in the crown of the tire it will seal very fast and get you on down the road whether you realize you have a puncture or not.

2). Single girl, alone out riding, with limited cell phone service here in some of these hills around Kerrville... need the reassurance that I can drive SOMEWHERE for assistance - even if only to get cell service to call Roadside - and am not totally stranded on the side of a very rural road - with no one even being concerned why I haven’t come in yet....except the dogs who will be getting very hungry...

The added perc: My ride is VERY smooth with it - didn’t expect to have this.

Well... ride the tar out of it and change the one tire next spring.

Will be good to see you two here in September.

I just ordered ride on for my Slingshot I’ve been hearing so much good things about it I will give it a try.. I emailed the company and ask how much I needed for the tires I couldn’t figure out their dosage chart couple of hours later they set me back information I needed 👌

[bikerbillone]

Gives me some peace of mind and no regrets in spending the $ in the purchase.

Are you sure you have the correct amount in the tires and did you follow instructions dispensing it into the tires???

It is a Harley

[PosseRider]

Put in what the chart said & exactly how it said.

I went down due to a tank slapper o n my two wheeler so ever since then my tires have had RideOn in them. But I do find their chart for how much to put in less than desirable. I'm always afraid I'll put too little in so I almost always add more. Not too much more. But it's hard to say just how much when there is still some stuck to the inside of the bottle. For all I know I might be putting exact amount needed after I fiddle around trying to add just a tad more than what I think they say is required.
