I used some similar stuff in sandrail paddle tires. They were very prone to losing air around the beads. It worked great. Except when you took the tires to Les Scwab to have something done, they would charge you extra because of the goop in the tires.

Looks good in the video but I wouldn't ride too far on a temp fix.

Wonder if the squid got a new tire after the demo?

Would be inteersting to know if something like that might replace plugs. It always bothered me to make a small hole bigger to insert a plug.

I have a feeling the first time a dealer changed your tire with that stuff inside, it will also be the last time.

HAHAHA... Look at mark :28. The tire gauge is already extended, *before* the person takes the measurement! I bet that stuff is messy.

It's pretty nasty at tire changing time.

It's like glue inside the tire, and particularly on the wheel. And it doesn't come off easily.

did anyone actually watch the video? they took the tire off and it wasn't messy at all... not sure if it was the actual product but it stands to reason that due to centripetal force all the goo would be right where they claim it should be, at the outermost edge of the inside of the tire as far away from the rim as it can get....

I'm getting some....

I work at a bicycle store and have used slime and specialized has somthing
simlar, I have used it on my dirt bike and have some in my rear tire now.

I have put 2k miles and doesn't loose any air, had a staple in my rear tire
and after I put the specialized sealnt in I noticed a nail also.
So that stuff sealed 2 staple holes and the nail hole and it stays liquid
so it will reseal if it gets another puncture.

According to them it turns into a gel and stays away from the rim in the center strip of the tire if installed correctly. There are several videos about this stuff on the page.

Boy the next time I ride over a board full of 10D or 8D nails at, hmmm, maybe 2 MPH I think Ride-on will work just time. Also I recommend staying away from your idiot friends who might just be carrying a portable drill!

Really now folks, the product might do as they state under the circumstances deplicted, but at speed under full load, hot and twisting tire punctures are usually far more damaging than a drill bit or a nail at walking pace. Most of the time the penetrating object makes a hole that is not perfectly round in other words the hole is torned not just punctured. Quite often a nail or similar object will get imbedded in the tire, the nail head gets worn or sheered off and the shaft continues to wear the hole until the pucture begins leaking substail amounts of air. Enough so that you do reCOGnize an issue and by then it is too late for any type of Ride-on material.

I did use the stuff for a couple tire changes and yes it is messy, but not as bad as fix a flat is. Water soluable it is easy to rinse away.

After several tire mounts, non of which sustained any damages, I decided it was a waste of money. I do carry a plugger kit and the "sticky" strings along with a small 12V compressor and CO2 cartridges for tire inflation.

Also if you ride a bike that has a tube Ride-on is totally useless as well if you have a sidewall puncture or tear, but in this case even a plugger or stick string will do you no good.
