Nitrogen filled M/C tyres?

[Duc]

Anyone using Nitrogen in their mc tyres?

Good idea / Bad idea?

I had my car tyres done and thats great but just wonder if "cooler" mc tyres are good thing. Not having to worry about the pressure so often (ie.constant pressure) would be an advantage though.

Use the 'Search' function, Sir! This topic's been done to death a time or two before.
Nitrogen filled tyres are bollocks, except that the air might be drier, so less prone to expansion and contraction. Air is 80% nitrogen anyway.

If that is the case why do they us it in F1 and have been for over 50 years.

Nitrogen is good for keeping tyre pressures more stable in between hot and cold tempratures as it has no moisture in it.

Good in cars not so much in bikes as it takes longer for the tyres to warm up to optimum temps.

Also holds pressure longer, had a customer with a Toyota landcruiser came in to my shop in feb last year sold him nitrogen. He came back in 6 months and it hadnt droped a pound came back in november same thing 40psi 10 months with out needing a top up is bloody good going.

Air is still free and its good stuff - the other is a bit of a marketing wank to get more money out of lazy buggers who never check their car tyres.

Plus on a bike tyre you would still want to check it often to ensure it is indeed holding pressure - thus each time you check it you lose a wee bit of pressure - given a month of checking the tyres weekly you'll need to add some air

You guys can stick your head in the sand if you like. But nitrogen has had proven benefits, more specifically on commercial, high mileage vehicles. Wouldn't bother with it on the bike.

Nighty filled tyres are testicles, except that the fanny might be drier, so less prone to erection and contraction. Knob is 80% blood anyway.
Try googling "pornos" and see some of her attributes.

Can we design a wave for people who have Nitrogen in their tyres?

[Forest]

If that is the case why do they us it in F1 and have been for over 50 years.

Because F1 racing is a fantastically expensive sport in which reliability and fractionally faster lap times are of critical importance.

Also holds pressure longer

No it doesn't.

Atmospheric air is around 80% Nitrogen. Think about it.

No it doesn't.

Yes it does
