I'm wearing an air tight one piece suite under my leathers, when I race. It's filled with nitrogen, it cuts my inertia and momentum on the bike in half, it also lowers the centre of gravity. If I looser the front I've found I can regain traction a lot easier now, thanks to being lighter than air, so to speak.

And some of the information on that site is incorrect according to the research I have done

For every website that says what a waste of time it is I reckon it would be possible to find just as many saying it's a good thing

In saying that I also find it very hard to believe a lot of the benifits attributed to it in the first post

A lot of people in Darwin do this too apparently...
The road surfaces here are very rough tar due to the high rainfall during our wet season and apparently another reason is because of the high temperature (average of 30 plus for most of the year)

I do not know anything more, but seems to be a common thing - have to have "special" valve caps too.
