<div class="message">Has anyone used this? It's the best so say, seals tires and balances them. Sorta like Dyna Beads, but Dyna Beads doesn't seal the tires.<br />
just checking before I jump off the Cliff.</div>

Yes, I have been using it for a long time now.
It does an excellant job of balancing-can not attest to it's sealing abilities as I have yet to suffer a puncture!
Cleans up with water!
When it comes time to change tires, I drill a 1" hole(after letting air out, of course) in the middle of the tread. Place a pan under the tire(bike is jacked up for this). Rotate the hole to the bottom. This allows most of the Ride-on to drain.
It has not "attacked" my wheels, as Slime did!
 
Deputy Dog makes a good point about protecting himself and his shop when changing out tires. If you do use this product and have a profesional do your tire change outs you would want to inform him before he starts the job or he may be very unhappy with you.
 
If you do put the stuff in your tyres make sure you give the trike a good run as to coat the inside and do the cetrifugal bit. My friend put tyre sealant in then left the trike to sit in the sun for a bit the stuff had somehow stuck to one side making the trike handle dreadfully when up to 30mph. Of course he ended up taking the stuff out and redoing it.
 
thanks for advice, won't let it sit long after installing
I think I will contact my tire man before installing it in my tires, he may refuse to touch the tires after it's in there.
thanks to all for advice

The question on this one is, was it Ride-on?
Very good point though, I always go for a run right after putting it in and airing the tires back up.
First time you do it, just for a couple miles, you may think you made a terrible mistake:AGGHH: Then it smooths out and all is well.
