1. Any using Nitrogen? (score: 1): Author: Steven Trovato <strovato@optonline.net>; Date: Wed, 07 Feb 2007 14:42:05 -0500; The latest fad/trend (depending upon your point of view) is filling tires with nitrogen instead of air.

The pressure rise is just more predictable with the (dry) nitrogen than with (possibly wet) air. Randall CONFIDENTIALITY. This electron; /html/shop-talk/2007-02/msg00065.html (7,812 bytes)

I've only seen 1-3 psi on nitro' vs 2-6 on air. -Wayne; /html/shop-talk/2007-02/msg00066.html (7,061 bytes)

The difference in expansion rate I think would only be relevant to racers.

I did not believe them but tried N2 anyway.

(score: 1): Author: Steven Trovato <strovato@optonline.net>; Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2007 23:58:07 -0500; I think with a little research you will find that N2 is in fact a larger molecule. It may be a smaller atom, but when they pair up to dance, the Nitrogens stay a bit farther away from each other. Or; /html/shop-talk/2007-02/msg00082.html (7,921 bytes)
