Slime 10004 Tube Sealant - 16 oz. Review

Slime 10004 Tube Sealant - 16 oz.
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!

Avenir Thorn Resistant Tube 700x18-25c Review

Avenir Thorn Resistant Tube 700x18-25c
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These are heavy duty tubes. I did not expect them to be as thick as they are and I mean they are thick. I installed these tubes on two of my bikes so far but haven't had a chance to go for a long ride yet. But I didn't have any problems with installation. I removed the original tubes and installed these and I used one of the ORIGINAL tubes as a spare in case I do have a flat. I would not use one of these as a spare as they are about the weight of three regular tubes combined.

I have a Burley trailer that uses 20x1.75 tubes and even ordered tubes for it as I don't want any flats. And even if I do these are so thick that I could probably run the tires flat and still keep going.
I was leary about ordering these at first but at this time I am very please with this product. Just take your time and make sure that the tire seats itself properly on the rim and I would recommend these to others and I will also update my review of them after I get some miles on these tubes.
Since these tubes are so thick and heavy it might take some more effort to pedal because of the rotational force that is involved. I don't think I would use these on my road bike because of that. But for the commuter bike that I plan on riding to work (7 miles one way) or the bike for pulling by trailer it won't matter that much to me. I don't want to fix a flat. If you are planning on riding a long distance (10 to 20 miles or more) stay with the lighter tubes and just carry a spare tube in case you have a flat. It will take more effort to pedal but you won't be fixing flats all the time.UPDATE....I had these for five months and the problem that I have had was that the brass is not sealed to the rubber as it should and the air is leaking out around it. I don't know of anyway to seal this so the tube is trashed. This is the first time that I have had any problems with the filler valves messing up.

Panaracer FlatAway Tire Liner Review

Panaracer FlatAway Tire Liner
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.

Average Reviews:

So far so good with my first trial of these tubes. I've only gone a couple hundred miles on them, but I can say with certainty that the smooth valve stem is an absolute must. I tried them because of that after 3 flats in a row on Bontrager super lights all failing at the valve stem area. I recommend based on performance so far. No flat and they hold air well (I run at 110 to 120 psi).

After many bad experiences with slime tubes, I returned to non-slime tubes. These are good and durable. I ride city streets about 120 miles/week. I had been going through slime tubes about once a month. I'm already up to 3 months with these tubes. Very good product for avid bikers.

Slime Smart Tube Review

Slime Smart Tube
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
At mile 9 of the North Fork Century in Long Island New York I got a blow out on my front wheel. I didn't know that this had happened except that I saw all of the green goo shooting out of the hole. I stopped a couple of seconds later and within about a minute the hole had sealed. There was minimal loss of tire pressure. I was able to get to complete the ride that day and I was able to use the tire the following weekend. All without having to refill my tube. Amazing.
All the tubes I buy now are Slime Lites.

Slime Bicycle Tire Liners Twin Pack (26-Inch) Review

Slime Bicycle Tire Liners Twin Pack (26-Inch)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ran these in my mountain bike for a while with over 60psi in my tires for commuting to work...they worked great with that much pressure. When I went down to trail pressure (50psi or so) I got one ride in before they caused a laceration all the way around the tube that was not patchable...there was literally a cut all the way around the tube from the edge of the liners. Other brands (Tuffy Liners, for example) have a tapered edge that is not as sharp as these. Slime needs to redesign these things in a big way. I love the thickness of them for the thorns I deal with, but they really need a tapered edge. I would avoid them.

Average Reviews:

Price was right considering prime shipping saved me money over driving to a distant bike store. Don't care for the size when having to carry a spare; but little option there. Was disappointed somewhat in the fit of the last tube I installed - the thorn resistant portion of the tube didn't fit well against the outside of the tire, tending to spin to the sidewall.

Slime Lite Tube Presta Valve Bicycle Tube (700c x 19-25mm) Review

Slime Lite Tube Presta Valve Bicycle Tube (700c x 19-25mm)
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.
