Slime 10004 Tube Sealant - 16 oz. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I started using Slime a few years ago when I ran a small resort on this Florida island. We began to offer free bikes for our guests but the maintenance issue, particularly flat tires, was making us regret our decision. A flat tire could cost us $30, especially if an employee went to the store and then spent an hour changing the tube.
Enter Slime! No more flat tires. It's that simple. I now ride my personal bike about 18 miles a week. After a recent trip the rear tire started to deflate. I yanked a big screw out, pumped it up, watched the green goo bubble out and it's fine again. Great stuff!

Panaracer FlatAway Tire Liner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These things are expensive because you can use them only once per tire. They may have prevented some flats, but one time the kevlar material actually cut through the tube causing the flat! When you do get a flat using them, you must "boot" the tire at the puncture site or the new tube will dimple slightly into the tire puncture hole; when that happens the kevlar liner will cut the new tube.

Kenda Kontender Road Bike Tire Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this tire when I noticed my rear tire was shot. Bought it, rode it over 250 miles through goat-head infested roads in New Mexico. One flat but the tire itself has kept its integrity. Rolls nice, corners nicely. For the price I don't think it can be beat.

Slime Smart Tube Schrader Valve Bicycle Tube (24 x 1.75-2.125) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Slime tube sealant, i.e. the green goop that comes in bottles, works. These slime tires are a gimmick; they only succeed in making a mess.
I replaced 3 old flat bike tubes with these slime tubes, and each and every one was flat within a month.
I should be more specific: These tubes are okay for a street bike because there is very little debri on a street capable of puncturing a tire, thus the slime never sees the light of day. For a mountain bike these things are a disaster. Actually, they go flat more readily than a normal tire tube, likely because the tubes themselves are cheaply made.Road bikes should find these tubes 'suitable', barely, and only because they don't encounter punctures as often. I don't recommend them. Get a bottle of the Slime sealant and pair that with a strong, well made tube.

Topeak Turbo Morph Bike Pump with Gauge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this pump after looking at the advice on [...]. I've pumped up to 85psi, and could have probably gone higher. It does get harder to pump as you get in the higher pressure ranges, of course, and I don't know how my strength compares to potential purchasers, but I guess it would be important to know that you do have to push hard, and I'm a 48-yr old, 260 lb guy who enjoys weightlifting. I'm not saying it's excessively tough, and I cannot make a comparison to other pumps. I'm simply trying to make everyone aware of what to expect. For me, I think it's great.
I really appreciated all the extra features:
1) the flexible hose makes it easy to pump without worrying about stressing the valve
2)the pressure gauge prevents you from losing pressure when you take off the pump, check pressure with a separate guage, put the pump back on, take it off again to check pressure, etc. You just pump up to the desired pressure and you're done!
3) the fold out handle and foot stabilizer helps you get up to the higher pressures more easily.
I like it. My only recommedations for a better design would be a longer foot stabilizer (I have size 13 feet), an easier to read pressure gauge (as I said, I'm 48, so my eyes ain't so good anymore!), and better directions (virtually non-existent documentation -- I know we're talking about an air pump here, but since I hadn't ridden in a long time until we started bike-training for a 160 mile ride I wasn't "pump-savvy." I thought you should have the lever in the "up" position to put it on the valve, and push it down to secure it when pumping. Turns out it's the opposite!)

Mr. Tuffy Bicycle Tire Liner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I live in New Mexico and we have some nasty thorns on our trails. So far the Tuffy's alone have kept me from constantly repairing inner-tubes. I highly recommend.
UPDATE (May 28, 2009): 40+ Hours of trail time and not a single flat. I have also put these in my wife's tires too. Great investment for those who are willing to sacrifice a little bit of extra weight for more ride time and overall enjoyment. A little bit of advice on installation, I used some Permatex weatherstripping adhesive to hold the liner in the tire for easier installation.
