from Toronto, Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: July 27, 2005 Strengths: WOW, these can almost stop a bullet! For the first 2yrs I almost laughed each time I saw broken glass. Weaknesses: After 2yrs/2,000 miles (3,220kms), they crumbled badly and caused 2 flats within 1.5 weeks. The "company" now "claims" they can last up to 3,000 miles or 5,000kms - hohoho! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $30.00 Purchased At: Price Point (2001) Similar Products Used: Slime Tire Liners, my invention of cutting up 2 old innertubes and using them as liners - super cheap price. Bike Setup: 2001 Trek Fuel 90 Disk/stock - tires changed to slicks. 1996 GT Ricochet/stock - tires changed to slicks.

from Oregon Date Reviewed: July 9, 2005 Strengths: This review is for Road wheels/tires. Strenghts are light weight, and properly installed, might help. Weaknesses: I live in a wet climate, and did not experience the heavy cracking that others did. But I did find that this product did not help much on reducing flats, and in some instances, actually caused flats if they were not perfectly installed, and the tires perfectly inflated. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Logie Trail Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $25.00 Purchased At: Performance Similar Products Used: Mr. Tuffy (heavier, but far superior) Green Slime (heavier and superior, but not quite as good as Mr. Tuffy). Bike Setup: Eddy Merckx Ti-Ax, Eddy Merckx TSX, Centurian beater.

from MLB, FL Date Reviewed: July 8, 2004 Strengths: These do reduce the risk of flats and they are light. I've had four* flats in about 5,000 miles since I started using them. (*One of these flats tore a 1-inch gash in a gatorskin, so I doubt anything could have prevented it) Weaknesses: They seem to split after a few hundred miles. Once this happens, hope that you don't get a flat, since changing a tube then becomes problematic (unless you want to toss that very expensive spin skin). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: Trek road, Schwinn mtn

from Clarkston, WA Date Reviewed: October 20, 2003 Strengths: They work well against the devilish goat heads (when installed and used as per the manufacturer's instructions). Weaknesses: They are not wide enough - once in a great while a goat head slips around the edge. Also, can not run both low tire pressure and widely spaced lugs or they will break apart at each lug spacing. Doesn't fit 29er tires without adding a piece from an old set. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $35.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Slime - heavy and doesn't always work, Stan's No-Tubes (awesome stuff). Bike Setup: 3 mountain bikes-all fun!
