My dad got talked into paying to have nitrogen in his car and was pushing it on me. I did as much research as I could online and concluded that it makes little or no difference.

Where I get my bike tires, they recomended nitrogen, but they also have a chart on the wall exlpaining that the only place you'll really get any benifit is in car & truck tires.

Nevertheless, as soon as my $28 million arrives from my good friend in Nigeria, I'm having it installed. Does anyone know how often I'll need to replace the old nitrogen with fresh nitrogen?

After your Nigerian buddy hooks you up, I will gladly send you reminders to change out your nitrogen when needed..... for a small retainer. :mrgreen:

Yes of course. What the machine does is it filters out the rest of the elements that are in "air". What comes out of the machine is theoretically "100%" nitrogen.

So I'm going to pay someone to take away something I already own and give me what's left? And I'm going to do that without having to marry them?

Actually that scenario you describe is not totally accurate.
