Tire Sealant?

Post by AustinPCX »

Anyone use Ride-On tire balancer and sealant? Or Slime? Recommend one or the other or no?

Thanks

I've used Slime on my wheelbarrow and on a handtruck at work, it works well but is really nasty if you ever have to take the tire off. I wouldn't use either on a motorcycle tire, though I have used Dynabeads before.

Thanks Dave. From what I've seen on the interwebs the Ride-On sealant is a much improved version of the Slime product.. Second video shows a very clean tire removal. I think I'll give it a shot.

Wow, that Ride-On stuff is cool. Slime stays liquid, so it's far inferior to the ride-on.

I can't believe the beating that tire took in the first video. Looks like a must-have if you're planning on touring.

I had been thinking about getting something like this for a while but didn't - now I have two flat tyres.

I have been wondering how this works as well ??? Right now I carry a plug kit, but if this stuff worked, and did not mess up the wheel balance, etc, it would be great...

It does sound to good to be true. Anyone else used Ride On Sealant ?
