edward raine Date Reviewed: January 3, 2013 Strengths: Got me out of trouble today when my armadillos let me down, 4 miles from work. I ran over a rivet about 2mm thick which went 10mm to 15mm into the tyre. It got me to work and back again. Weaknesses: Cant seem to be able to get hold of long presta valves and they make a bit of a mess inside the tyre., Bottom Line:

from Colorado Date Reviewed: June 18, 2011 Strengths: I have never had problems with slime tubes. But it seems to me, you either hate it or love it. Ive used slime ever since I started riding, about 8 years ago. Ive never felt slosshy tires, as other seem to have, the weight isnt bad... if you're a weight weenie, go tubeless, but if your on a budget, get these. just know, that if you get a puncture, they seal as the slime fills the hole. sometimes it helps to flip the bike over and spin the wheel a couple times. Great product, I have all 4 slime tubes still in good condition in my garage (I bought lighter ones later on) Weaknesses: Weight Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $6.00 Purchased At: Wally world Similar Products Used: Off brands. Bike Setup: 2008 Specialized rockhopper with tons of upgrades.

from Arizona Date Reviewed: August 19, 2010 Strengths: These things work! Since installing them, they've saved me the trouble of removing my rims at least half a dozen times. I encounter a heck of a lot of thorns on my ride, even the larger nastier ones are met with little resistance. Although after removing a larger object you may have to rotate the wheel so the hole can fill in with the slime, tiny price to pay to avoid being stranded. Weaknesses: Some users here have mentioned they don't work so well in cold weather. I haven't experienced this, as I live in Arizona. Other then that, I have nothing bad to say about Slime Tubes. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $7.00 Purchased At: Walmart Similar Products Used: N/A Bike Setup: Single speed 26 inch wheels.

from Grand Haven, MI Date Reviewed: January 19, 2010 Strengths: This product is great! I was getting a flat a month riding the streets and trails. When I replaced my tires I also replaced my tubes with Slime tubes. Over 2 years and 1500 miles and not one flat. I am a true believer. Weaknesses: None, except for green slime on my finger when I break the seal on the air inlet to top off the tire pressure. A small price to pay!

from UK Date Reviewed: September 14, 2008 Strengths: Standing up and pedalling around the last corner on my favourite trail I leant over too far and felt the tyre buckle under the rim and slide. Lucky escape not to fall tbh and was surprised that the tyre didn't deflate. 4 hours later the tube had deflated but pump 50psi back in and the tube is ready to go again. Just did another 20mile trip and the tube was fine, saved me having to change/repair the tube between rides. Weaknesses: Heeeeeeeaaaavvyyyyyy. I use these tubes with my mud tyres and heavier wheelset for night rides. They give me confidence that they won't leave me stranded in the forest in the middle of the night but you can really feel the weight. Not cheap either, especially at my local Halfrauds.
