There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Ride-On
I use Ride-On in all my motorcycles and scooters.
Have for the last ~5 years, ~50,000 miles.
But, I ALSO static balance (before adding Ride-On, for sure).
Personally I'd not use the balancing beads all by themselves for balancing.
I'd balance first, then add something.
I just think Ride-On is better, as it seals punctures in the OD of a tire.

I have, they work. The only problem I had was sometimes one would get in the valve and it would leak. To counteract that I always gave the valve a small shot of compressed air to clear the beads. Yes I used the "special" valve. Now I'm using the centramatic balancers.

We see the tail end of tires that have the beads installed. The vast majority of tires we remove that have had the beads installed in them we find the beads clumped and or stuck in spots. The slightest amount of moisture or tire assembly lube in the tire or on the rim will make them clump. We do NOT recommend the beads on Spyders.
The centramatic balancers that Lamont sells do work very well. We also balance every tire we install before using the balancers.
