Bigfoot Posted July 12, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2009 I've read the previous posts regarding the Ride On tire protection system and have seen the good comments. Just wondering if anyone here has ever experienced any problems with the product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Owl Posted July 12, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 12, 2009 Have been using Ride On in my bikes and company vehicles for years with absolutely no problems. We swear by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took off a tire with it in it was still fluid. Easy clean up, very good product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankd Posted July 13, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 13, 2009 I was gonna bring up this subject today myself..... Yesterday we replaced the front tire on my brother's Venture. It's my 'old' bike, and I'd put RideOn in the tires about 5 years ago. I found the product was still liquid in the tire, but the rim was coated with what could be described as dried sludge. Not only was it on the center of the rim, but it was also where the tire seals on the rim. Most of the sludge in the center cleaned off with a paper towel, but what was in the tire seal area was dried and bonded to the aluminum. A half hour with a wire brush cleaned it off, but I've never heard anybody else having to do this. This bike is stored where it would have frozen most winters. I wonder if that had anything to do with it. Or could it have been the 5 years? Any ideas?? Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flb_78 Posted July 13, 2009 Share #6 Posted July 13, 2009 Ride On is water soluble. It's very possible that some of the water evaporated and it stuck to the wheel. 5 years is a long time for a motorcycle tire to stay on. I would say this was the exception and not the rule in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loehring Posted July 13, 2009 Share #7 Posted July 13, 2009 I love the stuff. Never had any issues. I agree though, 5 years is a long time to have the same rubber. I can't even get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankd Posted July 13, 2009 Share #8 Posted July 13, 2009 It was an Avon, and it had about 25,000 miles on it. The Touring Elilte II's I used before the Avons would last about 22,000. I wish I had the time to wear out more tires. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburrell Posted July 13, 2009 Share #9 Posted July 13, 2009 I had ride on in both my tires when I had a flat last month. Was getting off freeway one mile from home and bike started riding different. I made the mile but I had a hole dead center of tire and the ride on did not hold up. There was not a nail in the hole, just a small home dead center of rear tire. I plugged it and rode it that way for a couple of weeks until I could replace the tire. ( it was almost time anyway). I was somewhat disappointed in Ride on because of what I had heard hear and seen on various videos incuding ICE RACING videos that swear by the stuff. Not sure if I will invest in it again at this point. I was lucky this time as I was almost home but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddle_Bag Posted July 25, 2009 Share #10 Posted July 25, 2009 Had the same problem. Low milage over 4 years or so. The teck had to use a wire wheel to clean the inside of the rim. It also was affecting the tire seal. They were able to get it to seal, but they warned against using it. joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
