Heard many times that the Rotella T syn is great bike oil and lower cost than the Amsoil I use.
Nitrogen is better for stabilizing the pressure in car tires that go from -20 to 100 deg. Not sure if it makes any diff in bike tires.

the air we breath is 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, oxygen escapes from your tires 3-4 times faster than nitrogen. having 95% nitrogen just keep the air in your tires 3-4 times longer. Less having to fill up often. Then again, how often do you pump your tires?
