Ride-On for your Spyder

[BajaRon]

for whatever the reason, service writer at discount tires i ordered falken tires were very much against the rideon. i told him i was gonna order rideon for new front tires and he was like NO DON'T GET THE RIDE ON i am guessing he had bad experience with them but it seem like it was more than that... i asked him why not and he just said, he lived thru it and he does not recomend.

All goo is not the same. Besides, unless your service writer is going to ride with you and change flats I'd say he has 'no skin in the game'.

Just my .02 and probably not worth that. But I'm a very happy Ride-On user.

Instructions say to balance tire first.. For those that read instructions.

Instructions are for amateurs.

This must be true. Here is Lamont's NEW PARTS INSTALL proceedure.

1- Completely shred packaging so there is no possibility of ever shipping it back the way it came.

2- Burn Instructions (Very Important - Do Not Skip This Step!)

3- Install new parts as many times as it takes till it looks like the picture on the shreded box, as best as he can remember. (Try to reassemble box if not already burnt with instructions to assist memory)

4- Try new part and adjust as needed (includes bending, cutting, welding, grinding, adding or throwing away pieces) until it actually works whether or not it ever ends up looking like the picture on the box.

5- Tell Ron how great it is and how he's a nerd-loser if he doesn't put one on his ride!

6- Wait till Ron buys one and installs it on his ride, then;

7- Take part off, put it on the shelf and tell Ron he didn't like it, it never worked right and he found something better that he's going to put on.

8- Just smile at Ron....

9- Repeat Process beginning at step 1.

Makes me kinda glad I don't have Lamont for my neighbor!

Or Ron...he's such a snitch!

[manchild]

OK..since we are on the subject. I got my front wheels replaced today..long story..but I had Ride On in the front tires. Do I add the same amount to the tires on the new wheels??

Why wouldn't you?

[manchild]

Cause the inside of the tires were somewhat covered..I was just wondering if I should add the same amount..but what would it hurt..right?

[BajaRon]

Not a bad question, really. I assume most of the Ride-On would be in the tire and not so much on the rims.

As I understand it you had your existing tires put on new rims. The trouble is how would you know how much Ride-On you lost? (Hence the question).

Putting a bit too much in is probably no big deal. I'm thinking you probably lost less than 1/2 but you might shoot an email to Ride-On and see what they say.

I'd be curious.

Just a BIT TOO accurate there Scotty!

Thank you for posting this... I just ordered the 6 bottle kit. I figure I might as well treat my Trailer tires while I am at it. Saves me from spending $150 for a spare and dealing with a blowout on the hwy

how does ride on react to cold winter temps?

[Lamonster]

how does ride on react to cold winter temps?

Depends on how long it's been setting. If it's been setting a while it will take some time to even out. I don't ride under 20 degrees too often but I haven't had a problem yet.

[Lamonster]

what happens when tires are rotated?
do you have to re-apply? i am assuming ride on is stuck to inside wall of tires but was wondering if it needs to be partially re-applied.

Never rotated my tires so I can't tell you but this is what a rear looks like after 13,000 miles.

Hitting the link to Ride On is bringing me to a thread, they not pay their bill?

Ride safe.

If you read the first post all the ordering info is there and why I did it that way.

I put over 100 miles on my Spyder today after putting Ride-On in all three tires. The vibration from 45-55 is horrible! Anyone else experience an issue after installing Ride-On? I realize that it takes awhile to even out, but by now it should be smooth at all speeds. Should I take my wheel weights off all three wheels?

At this point, it's so bad I am thinking about takes the tires off and having it removed!

Whats the dif. between ride on and slime?? I have used slime for yrs with no real problems. Is ride on better than slime??

Very odd! I would call Ride-On and talk to them before doing anything else. Cannot imagine it having this effect if installed properly.

Like the difference between white wash and paint. Ride-On is a totaly different product in many ways.

Ride-On is high tech Slime. It does the job much better than Slime.

whoops...I thought you meant that you were replacing the tires, not the rims...my bad...

I'Ve used Slime for years also, But i just noticed a WARNING on the Gal. pump bottle = For high speed Applications 65 mph+ use only for Repair.
