from Austin, TX Date Reviewed: October 28, 2010 Strengths: I always race with a slime lite in my rear tire. It has saved me so many times in races. I had one race where I finished the race with no flats, and found 3 thorns in the tire each about an inch long racing in Lajitas. Not one leak. So I have to give these a thumbs up. Weaknesses: I have come across a bad tube or 2 but just return it. You usually know about when you first air it up. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: any Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $8.00 Purchased At: academy Similar Products Used: Just regular tubes. Bike Setup: Kestrel hardtail, Sworks FS, Stumpy Pro singlespeed

from boudler, colorado, usa Date Reviewed: April 16, 2008 Strengths: Can seal small hole (as long as you find the thorn and pull it out) Weaknesses: Can't seal large holes, can't seal pinch flats -- and worst of all doesn't work well with path kits. Last flat I had multiple misfires trying to get a path to hold -- the slime from inside the tube would push out through the glue in the patch. I finally got a patch to hold only to go flat a few miles later.
