Good tubes so far

I haven't put many miles on the new tubes but wanted to try the slime tubes in case I pick up a thorn.

Thank you for your feedback.

amazing

No more flats for years! I have seen the slime in action blocking a puncture AS I CONTINUED TO RIDE. Best product for touring and around town on lousy roads.

Thank you for your feedback.

Seem to be working.

The tubes seem to be heavier then regular tubes but that should be an easy offset for not getting flats.

Thank you for your feedback.

No flats since installing this tube.

After having flat tires once a week for 19 weeks, I am happy to report no more flats. I have been using this in conjunction with a Kevlar tire. Satisfied customer.

Thank you for your feedback.

I like the thicker tube and slime combo.

I almost always remove the tube that comes with the bike and replace them with the slime tube. Its just better to prepare for the worst by buying the best.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good for low speed flat protection.

the sealing goo has a tendency to flat spot when the tire sits, presumably at the lowest pt, a little disturbing initially, seems to distribute more equally after a mile or so. If it does puncture, the escaped goo makes it difficult to adhere a patch

in the field. has saved several rides for me, and that it very good.

Thank you for your feedback.

Hate Flats? Get These.

I REALLY hate flats. Wouldn't use anything else. Adds a little weight, but.....

A little messy when you inflate your tires, but if you have your stem between 11 and 1 (clock positions) it is really minimal.

Thank you for your feedback.

Does what it says - which is good and bad

Works great at sealing small punctures from thorns. Unfortunately, it also seals up when it gets into the valve. I have replaced a couple of tubes because when putting air into the tubes, some slime inevitably got into the valve. Gummed it up so that it slowly lost air. I don't know that this is a reason to NOT use this product. If you get lots of thorns anyway, this will probably keep you from changing tubes two or three times a month - the valve issue causes me to replace the tube once every three months. Personally, I think it saves me money and hassle.

Thank you for your feedback.

Still a fan

As a commuter cyclist, flats are a deterrent. With Slime inner tubes, I have gone over a year without a flat. That does not mean I have gone over a year without issues. Slime Presta valves clog and fail. Take care to read all instructions on the back of the box. Near the bottom you will see how to clean them.

I though I could avoid Slimes by buying extreme flat resistant tires. I bought Specialized Armadillos. Two flats in a month.

Slimes are only part of the solution. Even with Slimes, I got many flats after my Serfas Secas (flat resistant tires) had over 1500 miles. So you still have to keep your tires up to snuff.

Thank you for your feedback.

Must have.

This tube works well on my road bike. With all the goat heads we have in Utah, it's a requirement.

works as advertised, but it is heavy and the Slime tends to collect at the bottom of the wheel.

This tube works as advertised, no flats yet despite riding around and through a lot of Blackberry bushes (ouch!). It is heavy and the Slime tends to collect at the bottom of the wheel. Make sure you let it redistribute evenly before jumping to high speed on trainers or rollers!
