Tire Sealants? Who's using them?

Just came accross this interesting video and wondered how many riders are using these types of products.
They don't appear foolproof but, may save some aggravation.

Ride-On Motorcycle Puncture Demonstration

Not in my tires. A moto friend of mine that owns a tire shop wouldn't recommend them either. That being said, I'd rather have a slow leak than a sudden loss in pressure. In order to monitor the pressure constantly, I use a Doran tire system and have had 3 alerts to a puncture before going flat, fixed with a worm and made it home for a better repair.

The Ride On stuff is amazing. It doesn't fill up the whole wheel like slime does making a mess when you have to change wheels. The Rideon stuff sticks to the tire and seals everything if you get a nail or whatever.
To install, remove valve stem, squeeze in recommended amount, install stem, fill with proper air, then go ride a few miles to evenly distribute.

I've used Ride On for years in both my Stroms. Only picked up a nail once. When I pulled it out I got a face full of Ride On and a flat tire. To be completely fair, the bike had been sitting a week and I only found it because the air pressure was low when I rolled the bike out that day. A warm tire may or may not have made a difference.

I still have several bottles left from the last case I bought. After my nail experience I have not felt compelled to add it to the S10. I probably will add it again when I change tires. I doubt I'll buy more.
