Mark Lee Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I got my first real flat on my MCM5. It had 3-4 oz of Ride-On ATV formula sealant in it and it failed... The puncture was big enough I could hear the air hiss. I've added another 2 oz and it sealed right up and it's holding air... So if you want to use Ride-On with no latex. Use 2 more oz than what @Marty Backe recommends with Slime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The catch with all puncture sealants is that they will all struggle if the hole is anywhere else than at the tread side of the tire. It could be that adding the 2 oz was just enough for the liquid to properly reach the puncture. I was able to seal a rim side hole with Goop by shaking the wheel at the right tire position. Once the splashes properly reached the leak, the sealant was able to do it’s job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no problem so I will be adding 2 more oz to all my wheels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lee Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 @mrelwood how many oz of Goop did you put in MSX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The puncture I mentioned above happened on a 16 x 2.5 tire though, with 4.2 oz of Goop added after the puncture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully I'm not too concerned with MSX's robust tire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
