Any thoughts about Slime in the tires?

[Bonniele]

Thanks so much for this website!

You all have saved us grief. I share this info with my noncomputer husband. We have learned so much and one of you even gave us his tele and we called him. THANKS EVERYONE! We purchased in Oct our two Spyders...Love 'em but still have more to learn.

I carry a bottle of slime with their mini compresor JUST to fix a flat? Is that OK??:dontknow:
I want nothing to do with Ride On in my climate!

Can you reach the Rear Wheel valve sten with the tire/wheel on the bike to install ride on?

I see the mention of amounts per tire. I am not familiar with this product but am considering it for spyderfest ride. Enlighten me on how the product is used and how you install it with precise amounts.
Thanks

The compressor is a good idea, but lose the Slime. Get a good plugging kit instead. I recommend the Stop-N-Go plugger. That's what I carry.

Once again, I am very glad I posted this question! Good response gang! I currently carry a puncture kit both in the car and on the Spyder. Sounds like I am on the right track!
Thanks again!

Is this the stop and go kit that you use? http://www.stopngo.com/tubeless-puncture-pilot-for-motorcycles-scooters-atvs/. This looks like a pretty good kit.

This is the one I use. I have a separate compressor for the Spyder, and use CO2 for the BMW.

Ride On

Is the RT rear tire stem easily accessible to add Ride On? Any tips on installing Ride On in addition to what already has been posted?

I saw the kit that you have but I since I don't have a compressor yet I considered the other kit since it was included.

Thanks for the info

I use slime [gal pump containers for tubeless tires] For my clubs ATC/ATV's We have at least 25 of them, Work's great on them.
That said, We ride them off road 1300 ac. +++
But I did notice in fine print there's a warning on the label' ''Not for speeds over 45mph'', An imbalance might occur.

Looks like it will do the job...and it will save chasing down a compressor. The Spyder doesn't work too well with CO2. It takes several large cartridges to fill a touring bike tire...the Spyder rear tire would probably take a case of them.

Not a problem... Just take this guy with you!

If you spin balance, it should be done before adding the Ride-On.

 

[scooterexpress]

i thought ride-on was suppose to balance tires? also was trying to avoid wheel weights.

It will...all by itself, but you said you wanted to spin balance them. You can do that and also use Ride-On, but you should preferably spin balance first if you do. Spin balancing is the process where weights are attached. Use it, or skip it...your choice.

I'm really surprised how much discussion this thread generated. It just goes to show: if you have a question ask! That's what I love about SpyderLovers!

 

[Robertsepolen]

It's also interesting that my phone knew how to type SpyderLovers correctly.
