Ride-On Is doing it's job....

Found this on another site.... Ride-On Works

I myself am using it in EVERYTHING that I own that has Tires.

So far two years later and all is well.

Noticed what looked like a small nail stuck in my rear tire today. Thought I'd let the air out of my tire and see what it was (I had 36 psi in my tire last time I checked several months ago - checked it today and I had 34.5 psi). I found this:

Obviously that bolt had been in my tire for some time because of the wearing off of the hex head. IMHO, the combination of sealing the rear rim, a tubeless steel-belted radial car tire and the application of Ride-On Tire Sealant not only saved the day, but made the event a non-event.

I'm impressed.

Amazing that you didn't feel the bolt at all when riding. I had a similar bolt in a car tire on a '66 Grand Prix a few years ago (classic car, not the car I owned in 1966!) not much smaller than the one you had, and I felt it shake the entire car! Didn't have Ride-On, but left the bolt in till I could get to a place to put a patch on it. Put a proper patch inside and the tire is still on the car today I believe (sold it a few years ago, but see it each year).

I'm sold. I was making a run down to Denver and, at about the Longmont exit, I heard a pop... about like when the "edge" of your tire hits a rock just right and it makes a loud popping noise as the rock pops out from under the tire.

 

Well, I wiggled the bars a little to see if I could feel any handling problems that would indicate a flat tire. I could feel nothing and proceeded along at 75 mph. Stayed that way for 10 miles until I felt the handling getting a bit odd (The pavement was grooved so I thought that the tires were just tracking funny at first) and when I changed lanes the feeling got way worse. I knew I had a flat rear so I pulled over immediately.

 

Sure enough, when I found the hole it was a V shaped hole that was about 3/4 of an inch long, nothing left in the hole to plug it except the Ride-On. If I hadn't had the Ride-on in there I'm pretty sure the story would have had a different ending a lot sooner than 10 miles.
