    Hi lao

    Thank you for posting about ride on . we had this stuff in the uk 1o years ago and i was one of the first tyres shop in the uk to try it out the product was not called "ride on " cant remember the name but what we found and i can only speak for car tyres when using the slim ?? As you know you inject the slim when you inflate the tyre and in order to insure the slim was evenly spread over the inside of the tyre you would spin the tyre so all the slim covered the internals of the tyre . but we found when we tried to balanced the tyre after this process we could not correctly balanced the tyre as some of the slim would still be moving about inside the tyre .. how many time have you taken a wheel to a tyre shop to get re-balanced and found it to be only 10 grams out and after the correct weights was applied the tyres was fine ??? and that only 10 grams . we found the problems was more apparent with low tyres profile
    so we at the shop decided not to use the slim but all what i saying was with car tyres of all sizes and did not try the slim on bike tyres
    so i hope ride on have address these early problems but i was very impressed with the stuff.

    ho and yes i did talk about slim in my post 1 ..... but very briefly
