| If you go to there web site there is a chart for how much.
I can tell you the hose is to small get a longer one at the hardware store. In stall ride on before you put wheel on bike makes it way easier. |

| I have the factory mt for my rear tire, e3, and it took 1 1/2 bottles. On my last rear tire, e3, I got a huge framing nail in it. Don't know how long I rode with the nail in the tire because it rarely needed any air. Good stuff. |

Orlando, FL | Put Ride On in my tires about 500 miles ago when my stick on wheel weights were lying on the garage floor! So far love the stuff. Balanced out a very slight vibe at 80 mph. But JohnnyVision is right. Stop at Ace Hardware and get a longer hose. I bought a foot of it at Ace for like 39 cents! Gotta love ACE Hardware~

Jasper, MO | I'm watching the reports on this Ride On stuff with interest. I know it seals the tire against leaks and balances the tire, but what happens if you get a wild hair and open the bike up to high speeds? I tried some similar stuff a few years ago and it worked as advertized until I opened the bike up and then the tires went severely out of balance all at once. I swear the front tire was bouncing off the road at 120 MPH. Not good. Have any of you tried high speeds with this stuff? Yeah, I've seen the videos. I want to hear some real world reports from people who have actually gone that fast with the stuff in the tires. I might try it if I knew it wouldn't turn my tires into high speed basketballs.

| been to a 100 plus and all was good. Very slight vibraction. But then when I put ride on in I didn't go over 100 maybe you should ask ride on what you should do |

Jasper, MO | Sounds good so far, but I've been known to exceed 110, on my Vision, by quite a bit. When the imbalance occurred on the stuff I tried before, it didn't come on gradually. It happened very suddenly, like the stuff all moved to one side at once. It happened while I was going in a straight line. Had I been in a turn, I'm sure I would have gone down.
Does Ride On stay liquid or does it congeal? If it congeals, how does it ooze out through the holes in the tire as shown in the videos?
