Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ride 100+ miles per week. There are times where I've had 4 flats per ride. I figured I would try the slime product. This slime lite tube doesn't work very well. Also, one rating commented on how the green slime marked where the hole is so it was easy to find the leak and patch it. However, that rater also noted,that they cleaned the area and patched it, but the patch didn't hold. This leaking of the patch was my experience as well. If you end up with a hole or puncture and the slime doesn't work, and then attempt to patch it, the slime eventually pushes under the patch. Then the patch doesn't hold. The patches I used were slimes own green self stick patches!Years ago, I found that the Parks clear patches work very well. I just found them again and appreciate how well they work. I recommend the parks clear patches. The big difference is that patches are inexpensive and you can put a few in your wallet. The slime is not effective. This idea is nice, but unfortunately it doesn't work well.
In general, after a few flats (say about 10) you get very good at patching a hole in a tube. I can usually find the hole and patch with out even taking the wheel of the bike. It takes maybe 5 minutes. Years ago, (35) sears roebuck used to sell a heavy duty tube. As a kid I was tough on bikes and the tubes held up. I think you may be better off trying heavier gauge rubber tubes rather than waste money on this product.
