ride on tire ballancer question

[stensg]

I'm looking at getting some ride on from here but the question that comes into play is can I use the ATV stuff? It clams to do the same purpose anyone have a answer? I can do both my bikes with the ATV 32oz.

I used to do truck and heavy equipment tires for 13 yrs...... stay away from ride on!

The stuff dries out over time and sticks to everything and becomes a huge night mare on aluminum wheels. Trust me

Try to find a powder type balance or even go to Walmart and buy a small tin on bb's. Put about 2 or 3 ounces inside each tire.

The benefits of a powder type balance are far out weigh stick on weights. The balance is constantly changing with the tire as the tire wears and also a huge appearance factor to not having weights stuck on your rim.

I worked at a tire shop for 4 years and hated the green slime but the ride on is a different product. This stuff doesn't seam to get over everything and i know there are some guys on here using it and say it works great. I could see in a car/truck tire it possibly drying out but a tire that gets maybe 2 seasons?

Yeah I didn't think of that.... big trucks get a lot of heat in the rims and seems to almost bake on.... its a nightmare to get off if it doesn't pit the aluminum

Why not just balance it with wheel weights?

 

[stensg]

This with continuously balance the tire as it wears and in the event of a puncture it seals it.

I just had a place ******** me and told me they couldn't balance my front wheel because of the rotor so they charge and extra $20 to put ride on in it. So I'll let you know I guess

 

[stensg]

Lol that's a new one. Sorry sir that rotor is so big we can't figure out how to tape a weight on lol wow. Yea let me know how you like it i just ordered mine plan on putting it in both bikes.

been using it for a few years now and have recommended it to one and all on this forum whenever 'dyna-beads' are brought up.

I would never put anything in my tires except for air. I never balanced my tires on my buell and have no issues as far as wear or vibrations at highway speeds. I tried dyna beads and after I crashed my first buell I never used them again. And with that slime/liquid balancer crap ots a pain in the ass when you remove your tires and (more important in car/truck tires) if you put it in your tires it can void your warranty and automatically makes any puncture not repairable.
