Anyone using nitrogen in their tires? I understand it provides a more constant pressure with variation in heat and doesn't tend to leak because the molecules are much larger. Just wondering if anyone is using this method if they have found any negatives and also how does one go about obtaining nitrogen to fill em up.............

Stymie, go to China Buffet and eat all their crablegs and clams on the half shell so if I go there for dinner they'll have a fresh batch out. Thanks in advance.:shock:
Nitrogen is used in many (most?) racing tires for asphalt racing, because it has different expansion rates for when the tires get very hot.
Some paintball guns can be powered by HPA (high-pressured air) or nitrogen, and at very high pressures. It is not uncommong for HPA or nitrogen tanks to be 6,800 PSI. Yes that's sixty-eight hundred PSI.
Try bringing a tire to a paintball shop, but most use compressed air and not pure nitrogen. Paintball fields that do official tournaments may have compressed nitrogen.

I usually go to FuLay up on Route 611 by Gray Chevrolet for Chinese buffet. They don't have clams though. Mussels - but no clams. I don't eat crab legs so you can have all of those - too much work for what you get. And are what you saying here that Chinese buffet loaded with crab legs and clams produce nitrogen gas ( I thought that was methane or something like that )? If so, how do I get it from source "A" to the tires????????????beezer said:

air hose fitting for tire. pull down pants, bend over, look at hose and figure which end to insert.

You also could try the local airport, not the big international but the small puddle jumper airports. The mech shops there will usually have nitrogen. We use it in all the tires of the pressurized aircraft.Don't be supprised of being charged 1/4 - 1/2 hr shop rate for it though. Our shop rates are at $75.00 an hr. Whats sad is for every hr, Boss man gets 55 and I get 20.
I have been using helium.
However, I am finding out that when I go over significant bumps, the bike goes airborne and tends to stay up a bit too long. If you are not perfectly balanced, you can come down crooked and that, or course, is a nightmare. Today I went over a raised manhole cover and remained airborne for about 35 - 40 seconds.
