ill give you 20$ for the tire, ill run a tire with a 1inch through and through cut.

A good example to people whose English is painful to your ears?
The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears.
There even are places where English completely disappears.
In America, they haven't used it for years!

This seems to have done the trick. Air pressure remained at 35psi in my back tire but now I will have to check it before every ride just to make sure.

I picked up a small screw in my rear at about 3,000 miles.
Used RideOn and changed the tire out at 8,000+ miles.
I carry that and a mini compressor with me all the time.
The RideOn worked all year round.  Does not freeze, stays liquid so it keeps on working.  I used the bike all winter with the stuff in it.

I said I would keep you posted so for anyone who will search for this.  I have put 2300 miles on the tire sence the slime was applied and the tire is still holding air. I ride just as aggressive as always and I'm fairly confident in my tire, but I still check it once in a wile to make sure.

Advantages of RideOnTPS over Slime:

More effective - Slime relies on consistency, while  RideOn TPS has thousands of microfibedrs that actually form a pemanent patch in the hole.  Very much like the way blood clots and forms a scab.

Stays liquid - I had to throw away a wheel that someone had put Slime in and left it there for years. It eventually formed a substance much like concrete that I could not get off without damaging the rim. RideOn TPS will not do this.

RideOn TPS will not corrode metal as it has anti corrosives in it. Slime will  eventually corrode aluminum or steel.

RideOn TPS can be used as a preventive measure. Put it in when you originally mount the tire. That way, you don't get the flat to begin with. Just make sure to check your tires regularly so you'll know if you do pick up a nail or whatever.  Over half the major trucking fleets in the country keep the stuff in all their tires.

Point about plugs that no one has made as yet: in steel belted radial tires, plugs can fail fairly quickly as a result of being cut by the belts, if the hole is too close to the belts. If you want to keep the tire, you need to get a patch on the hole from the inside.

yea, I read about that stuff to and if I could do it over I would have used RideOn.  The only reason I didn't was that my local dealership didn't carry it and I would have to search around to much.  My bike wont be sitting for any long period of time so hopefully it'll be alright.
