I've heard a lot about this, but only in reference to car tyres; has anyone
done this with their bike? Is it worth it?

Thanks
J.

It helps prevent the bends when you resurface.

Of course, that's just the license fee ... you'll have to arrange
to put it into the tyres yourself.

yes, I use 80% nitrogen in my tires too, in fact i have a nitrogen
pressuriser suitable for inflating motorcycle tires, yours for the low low
price of $400

Someone let James Galloway at (E-Mail Removed) loose on an internet
connection and the result was:

Nothing; just kinda sits there (it's inert!).

This started a huge thread two weeks ago. The gist was that there were lots
of opinions but no one convinced me it was worth the cost and inconvenience.
Give it a go for a while if you want, but I reckon just making sure you
constantly have the right pressure in your tyres is much more important.

Actually nitrogen is the main cause of the bends when you resurface,
the benefit is it gets you 'drunk' whilst down due to Nitrogen
Narcosis - and no handover!
