 Woth it November 24, 2008
Christopher Scholten (San Francisco, CA, USA)
I was riding around one evening, a little off-road, and went over a field of grass. When I was back on the road, I had a tyre with more than 20 burrs in it. I picked them out, one by one. Fortunately, as I had the slime tube, following the pump up, sure enough each of the minor punctures was repaired, and I was able to ride home. I still use the same tube (I haven't needed to replace it yet...)

ve been stranded twice by these tires. Sure it can fix some flats but if you get a pinch flat (common in the rockies) it doesn't work. Worst of all the slime makes it so you can't patch the tire effectively (no matter how carefully you clean).
Avoid the gimmick and just use your $1 patch kit and don't be stranded.

Slime tubes, while heavy and potentially messy, do the job for which they were designed. They have saved me from numerous roadside repairs. You won't even notice small punctures, and with a larger one, you will save enough air to make it home.

I used these tubes for most of one season of mountain biking. The biggest threat to tires I have is thorns. The tubes seem to work for small punctures but a large thorn would do them in. They did save me changing tubes on two or three rides during the season. I went through 4 slimed tubes and 6 regular tubes during the season. I ran the slimed tubes about two thirds of the time. I ride about once a week. I would suggest buying some non-slimed extra thick tubes and carry a couple spares. Trick: When a slimed tube is punctured put about 10 pounds of pressure in the tube and turn the tube so the puncture is at the point closest to the ground in a few minutes the puncture is sealed and the tube can be pumped back up. If the puncture is too big the seal will blow out.
