[DblTrbl]

Is anyone using this product in their trike tires? If so, do you recommend it? Pros/Cons?

I haven't used it (yet?), but it has been discussed numerous times. Try a search... As I recall, it has had "positive" reviews. Good luck.

That is all that is available to my customers and I have been using it for years. The local GW club even had a special event to stop by and have their tires treated. I use the liquid balance and have been using for 8 years.

The balance/sealant type I used previously would cause aluminum wheels to oxidize over time and then the bead of the tire would leak. This only seemed to occur on bikes that sat for longer periods. Those that put 6K a year on their bikes usually replaced the tire before this happened. Was especially bad on chromed aluminum wheel causing chrome to peal around the rim.

This new balance is superb

I've used it on my other 2 wheelers and it works great! I suspect I will use it again on my trike as it needs its tires replaced. I like it.

We use it on our Spyder but did so just for balancing. The sealant part would be just a bonus if it happened. It's great as a balancer though.

ride on

I have used it for a couple of year this will be the third season balance is good. not sure if it is just a good tire or if ride on helps tire stay cooler and wear better.so far 12ooo km. on tire

For any of you that have used it for some time, do you find your tires seem to hold air better? I first used it with new Michelin Commander 2's and I swear I only add air because I checked too many times. Never ever had tires that held pressure so well. So I'm wondering if it's the Ride-On or the tire. I can see it being that stuff because using it removes 1 of 3 surfaces that can seep air. I wouldn't think it would be this much though. I had to add air in January and I still haven't added air yet. But part of that I know is temps rising. Still that's a long time.

Stands to reason, If it can stop leaks from nails, It should also stop slow seepage though the rims and valve stems..

once I get "my" tires on the trike I will add. Right now I have black wall tires and will be switching over to my ww tires later this summer.
