Vertical tear caused this thing to become an unpatchable mess. Conceptually sound but, in practice, never got the chance to shine.
 I like & recommend these tubes August 10, 2008

These tubes are a great way to get some light weight protection against flats. I have been running them for almost two years in my mountain bike.
Kept me from getting a flat and having to make a repair way back up in the hills miles from anywhere on more than one occasion. Won't protect you from every flat--if you want ultimate protection, go with thorn resistant tubes and tire protectors, but those tubes add way too much weight and the tire protectors reduce the quality of your ride. I've heard others comment that it's had to patch a slime tube because of the slime, but I have never had that problem.
Much lighter than the regular puncture-resistant tubes! December 21, 2007

Haven't ridden this a long way yet but it's in my front wheel now and seems much lighter than the regular Slime tubes Slime Smart Tube Schrader Valve Bicycle Tube (26 x 1.75-2.125). The super light NON-slime tubes scare me in that they are probably too thin for much endurance. This looks like a good compromise because you should get automatic sealing capability AND light weight. Give it a try! We'll see how it seals as I roll on. My Bell 26" self sealing regular weight tube Self Sealing Inner Tube 20" failed once on a relatively small puncture and just made a mess. The Slime line might be better than the Bell one since it's green slime :-D.
