Re: How often do you add air to your tires?
Say what you want, but I've been riding for 35+ years, and I can feel the difference. It's not a placebo effect, or a need to be different, it really does feel different.
Before you make up that one way street of a mind you have, I suggest you try it. The nitrogen is concentrated from normal air in a process very similar to the oxygen concentrator used by old people who need oxygen. It's 99.5% pure and it does lower the operating temperature of the tire by as much as 20%. That's why it's used in drag racers tires. My Harley has tubless tires and would normally loose 5psi every two to three weeks, but now hasn't lost 1 lb in three months. No loss in the GZ in 9 months. My pal (the tire dealer) sells it for $2.50/tire and will top you up for free (if you ever need it). I could care less whether you or anyone else believe me. All I know is it has worked for me. :skull:
