a Racer Date Reviewed: November 22, 2012 Strengths: Does what it says on the can, put it in the back and front tyres on my speed triple preventatively. Got a puncture on a bank holiday, waited hours as single woman and families seem to get priority. I kind of agree with though. Ruined the day obviously, not any more had in every tyre since and not suffered an imbalance or puncture yet. Spoke too a tyre fitter from out of the area about the stuff and they hate it because its messy and inhibits revenue. It's not in the tyre long enough to rot naff all, two year warranty? In two years ill have had at least three back and two fronts irrespective of track days. My last back had at least 11 mends internally. They won't mend after 5 normally and took too speeds in excess of 130mph with no issues. I won't have a tyre on the bike without it. If your gonna have an explosive decompress on your tyre and it does not take a lot I've had them racing many a year ago. Then I'd rather have something slowing the flow and giving me a chance to pull up. In the case of any noticeable puncture it should always be inspected later at first chance. It's just a no brainier anyone who argues against either hasn't used or is in the tyre business. If its not for you then it washes away easily with no stains on any types of surfaces. Weaknesses: Tyre changers are best informed you have it in before they begin work as it can get messy. But it washes away with water, the one I use doesn't mind as long as he is told prior. PS he has a BMW 1000R with sealant in. Make your own mind up there Bottom Line:

Weaknesses: Using the ordinary bottle on a car or motorbike you need to have a pump handy Bottom Line:

Brandon H Date Reviewed: June 28, 2012 Strengths: Very easy to use and has worked repeatedly for me. Put this stuff in a thorn proof tube and I can;t see how you could go wrong. It may be heavy, but it would take one heck of a large sharp object to cause a problem. Weaknesses: There are idiots out there that don't seem to know how to use this stuff and it kills the ratings. The only time this stuff has failed me was going through a down hill thorn patch. I counted 17 thorns in my regular tubes with slime. Every hole filled with slime, but there just wasn't enough to keep the tire up. I spun the tire for 60 seconds, reinflated it and made it home. Go figure- user error, not the fault of the product! I suppose if you ride on nails or railroad spikes you may see a weakness. Bottom Line:

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: June 24, 2012 Strengths: Useful to play with if you get bored and have time to spend Weaknesses: Useless. It just doesn't work even on very very small pinholes only visible in water. What's more it makes the tube heavy and clogs the valve. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Price Paid:

Olly Date Reviewed: May 29, 2012 Strengths: Haven't had to remove tyre from wheel for over 3 years now so I can only assume that it is doing its job as I have never gone more than 6 months without getting a puncture in the past. Weaknesses: None really as long as you follow the instructions but the easiest option is to buy the inner tubes that come pre filled with Slime, this doesn't really cost any more than buying 2 inner tubes and a bottle of Slime so its a no brainer to me. Bottom Line:

from lantana, fl, US Date Reviewed: October 20, 2011 Strengths: I never like anything, but i'm shocked that there could be even one bad review of this product! I moved to this area and was getting flats literally daily from the weird point crap that falls from the trees. Finally, i went to the bike shop and the guy filled it with the Slime and it's been almost 6 months, not one single problem!! Today, i had a huge stick puncture the tube and i actually heard it deflate. I just spun the tire around, let the Slime move into the hole, pumped it back up and DONE. Good as new. Weaknesses: None...but i think you need a very good quality bike pump as i personally have to pump the tires at least once a week and it's a little more difficult when the tubes are filled with slime. (so i'm told). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $15.00 Purchased At: Relentless Bicycles Similar Products Used: None
