Well i put 98% of nitrogen in my tires today. I am gonna test this out in a week or 2 and see how it affects the bike.....i dont think it will do much except deffinently keep the air in the tires better......i have always had the problem of constantly having to put air in my tires almost every weekend for a ride.....i think this will require less maintence and it should help the rim from roughting out or anything like that

let us know how it works. I've always just used slime in mine. when I got my warrior about a month ago, one of the rear tires would leak. put some slime in and no leak at all. most tires leak around the rim. I have put a bead of clear silicone around the rim before setting the tire and it helps also

 

If your tires were leaking that bad, I don't think just putting Nitrogen in them is going to correct the problem. You got a leak somewhere that needs fixing!

Nitrogen also helps by not being as sensitive to temperature as air is. It won't expand and contract your tires as the weather changes.

 

You didnt gain much from just putting plain old compressed air in them...the air we breathe is 78% nitrogen anyway.
If you have a leak, I second the idea of using slime. Used it for years, and its great at sealing slow leakers.

 

I only put 78% nitrogen in my tires. ;,)

 

yea the nitrogen wont help with the leak. its good for pressure stabilization in different temperatures but with the few pounds we run you wont know any difference.


slime and carry plugs just in case...........we've all been there done that
