Ride On Sealant

[Mitch]

Any West Aussies the would like some Ride On Tyre Sealant.
I just got a great deal on 1 Carton and there are 6 8oz bottles left, let me know and I will bring them along to the Jarradale Breakfast.
They are for sale for $13.00 each.

Hi Mitch

How much of the sealant to do both tyres on a ST1100?

Hi Max according to the Website about 2.5 to 3 bottles, quite a few people only do the rear tyre about 1.5 to 2 bottles.
 Ride On also balances your wheels as well.

Cool Mitch, interested in doing both tyres, 70% certain I will be at the meet, but will be in a better position to confirm this on the Monday of that week due to work commitments. Put me down for 3 if I make it, if not and somebody else wants them then let them go. Sorry I can't be more definite at the moment but my plans at this stage are all over the place.

Mitch I will take the other three both the ST and GL are due tyres.

 OK Glen, see you at Jarrahdale . 
 That's this lot gone.
 If there is enough interest here in the West I will see if I can get some more at the same price.

Hey Mitch, I'm interested to know why many riders would only do their rear tyre, "if you know that is", I would have thought it more important to do the front tyre, if you were only intending to do one only, that is!        Just wondering!!

[Mitch]

Hi Couch, you are more likely to get a rear flat than a front, how many front flats have you had compared to rears?
                I think the reason is that the front runs over an object lying flat (nail,screw etc) and sometimes stands it up to penetrate the rear. 
I do both tyres as the front only uses about 1 Bottle and I look at it as cheap insurance, plus I hate fixing flats beside the road

Well I've never had a flat on the bike (touch wood), but when I look at the flats I've had in cars over the years, I have to say, "you're right mate", every flat I've ever had has been on the rear...........interesting!!

Hmmmm your reasoning may very well have some merit!!

plus I hate fixing flats beside the road

and in reality it is not that exspensive!

How much is your time and frustration worth ..... particulalrly when you are on the way to the toomoombah rally!

Mitch, I just put my Ride On in at Yorkies yesterday and the effect of perfectly balanced tyres made the ride unbelievably smooth. I would highly recommend. And my carton was more expensive than yours :-( ..... Maybe add to the old WA Shipping and Buying thread as well.

Anyone got any of this left in Perth? 3 bottles maybe?

the two flat tyres I have had have both been front tyres.

Well I would not have believed the advantages of using ride on.
I had to do a quick trip down south and was going to use the 3 bottles I had from Pezzz's delivery way back in time. I was hanging out until I put new hoops on then I got slack. Some say slacker than usual.  It was a good time to test before the border so I bit the bullet. Not only is it supposed to cure the roadside flat but it balanced the tyres perfectly eliminating all wheel vibration. The thing that amazed me and I still don't believe myself but it appears to dampen road noise.    So a nice quiet run of around 1000kms was had.

Now where do I get more. Maybe a westies delivery coming up 

Cheers all

Mitch, Can you still get at a good price?
Your price earlier was better then mine even with the OzSTOC discount .... lol ....
