SlimeSelf-Sealing Presta Tubes(Return to Product Page)

Running these on my commuterized MTB. When one of the kids at the school where I teach tried to jack me by deflating my front by depressing the valve core, the slow deflation rate through the valve stem saved me a long walk home through a real interesting neighborhood. Nothing beats reliability!

Recent 50 degree, misty dirt road ride in Middle TN you could hear the banjos!!!!. Puncture on rear tire about 12 miles in of 50. By the time I rolled to a stop, the tube was sealed. I just had to add a few pounds and finish the ride ! I use the Slime Lite on my cross bike, no pit stops for flats in 4 races so far this year.

This product does what it says on the packet. It will get you to the end of your eventcycle in the case of many regular punctures. When you get a proper puncture that the tube cannot contain, the slime sprays out of your tube and leaves a fluorescent green trail up your back and on the road. Changing the tube will leave you looking like you were attacked by Slimer from Ghostbusters.

Having said all that, there is nothing worse than having to stop, especially in miserable conditions, to change a tube after a puncture. I regularly use them especially if I am commuting. They are heavier than other tubes but this is barely noticeable, even on longer events and the time saved in repairing a puncture justifies the weight.

I ride in Yuma Az where we have a lot of goat horns that hit our tubes hard. This product help me to get back on the road fast.

Boy these are heavy tubes. But after three consecutive days of flatting from different punctures on new tires, I gave up. Once installed, your wheels will noticeably slump around and handling is pretty terrible. But hey, no flats after 600 miles so far, a couple self-healed punctures, and they hold air like a dream. I'd never use them for training or weekend rides, but they serve their purpose for daily commuting peace of mind.

I haven't had a puncture flat with this yet

These are required anywhere you have sharp, pointy objects waiting to ruin your day. Arizona, where I ride, is awash in goat heads. Small, round seeds that have points as sharp as any needle you've seen, all over the place. Without Slime tubes, you will learn to either repair tires out on the trail, or spend allot of time pushing your bike home. Either one is not the way to enjoy your bike adventure. Don't leave home without them!

Been using Slime tubes for many yrs, got a flat recently, even with tube liners and Slime. Got the tire off and had all this watery green liquid, I had a spare tube and made the change. Got home and was reloading the Slime and read the instructions, it's good for 2 years. I believe I had last loaded Slime into the tube about 6 yrs ago.

My spouse & I have been using these Slime inner tubes for years in conjunction with Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires... the combo makes our rides bulletproof! Havent had a flat on the road in years!

Installed tube with a new tire. No flats yet. Tube is heavier than a standard tube.

after 6 flats in the last two weeks decided to go with new tires(gator skins) and slime tubes. I see the slime tubes have good reviews but my front tube only last one day and the tube split on the seam next to the stem. must be a bad tube or I just have very bad luck.

Excellant tibes! Roll smoothly and have had zero issues!

Did not get any flats yet but this product has a great reputation

My commute takes me through dirt paths and paved roads with more crevasses than an arctic climb- and I installed these to keep me rolling until I got to work and back home. So far, so good though they have not been penetrated as of yet. They are much heavier than standard tubes, so if being light and speedy is your thing, bring your patch kit instead.

I spent a sunny week biking in the Phoenix, AZ area. The trip leader strongly recommended using slime self-sealing tubes. Viola! A week without flats despite all the nasty, thorny elements on the road and I am not referring to other bikers. I did experience some green slime shooting out after I first installed and pumped up my tires. But this reassured me tht the slime was working. Give 'em a try.

A mainstay (IMHO) for any cyclist that does not run tubeless. I have gotten as many as three seasons out of one tube. One of only three products I have ever given a five star rating to.

I've never changed a flat tire on a 5 degree day and I want to keep it that way. I use slime tubes to give me some confidence that I won't have to.

I keep this on my rear tire all the time now. Total life saver! Riding through city streets every day, I can really tell the difference between when I have a slime tube vs a regular tube in the frequency of flats. I highly recommend this.

There was a period I got 3 flats in a one week, even with tire liners. A real pain, especially if it's raining. I searched around for alternatives and gave Slime a try. I've been Slimed and I love the stuff. All my bikes have Slime Tubes installed. I'll get an occasional Slime Spray, which tells me it just plugged a leak and I can continue my ride without stopping. When you do have time to repair the leak (really isn't necessary), the Slime marks the spot, making for a easy repair.

a 1 inch thorn was in my tire after a two days of hard riding ...when I noticed I take out the thorn and the tire seals in 2 seconds!!!!! I am stilll riding the same wheel...no problems.. no leaks!!!

they have a littlebit more weigth!!
