Been using nitrogen in our car ryres for the last few years and wondered if anyone had tried it in bike tyres.
Pros cons etc.
Over to you!

Yep. Makes no difference that I can make out, and gradually lost as you pump up your tyres as they deflate slightly with use. Really not sure what the benefit is supposed to be, but all tyre shops in the UK now seem to use it when you get fresh rubber from them
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Claims of more stable PSI's at various temps and less leakage than normal air.


Air is free, at home and at servo's.
I sometimes change tyres at home, I change pressures for pillion / solo / cruising / blasting.  I let air out for the drags and re-inflate after.


The claim it holds pressure longer is wasted on me as I'm fussy about checking tyre pressure as I am checking chains.


It may have advantages but not practical for me.

I can't believe anyone could be so selfish, but then you do registry solo bikes.
