Slime Bike Inner Tube with Slime Puncture Sealant, Self Sealing, Prevent and Repair

Works as intended. Well I don't know yet as I haven't had a puncture or have I? Lol as I guess I wouldn't know right or see a little green dot. But as of yet nothing. Bought it to do up my classic muddy fox mountain bike. Price was really good also. Great value for money.

As described. Fitted perfectly. No issues.

I bought this as have had a couple of punctures on my commuter ebike recently so I was unsure whether there are environmental changes leaving more debris on the road than usual or if I've just been really unlucky. I just wanted something to get me home with a small puncture as changing or patching a tube is no fun in the rain.My initial response that it was much heavier than I expected, although it doesn't seem to have had any effect on the battery performance. I have used it for well over 100 miles now and no sign of a puncture so fingers crossed.It comes with a green valve cap so unless you are like me and have many caps from old tubes, you might want to keep the one from the tube you're replacing.I will update if I get a puncture to share how it did.

Puncture resistance:Got a lot of punctures commuting , have had none since purchase.

I really didn't get on with this product at all.When I pumped up the tyre after a holiday, the slime bunged up the Presta valve and left me with the same effect as a slow puncture, but which was difficult to get up to pressure each time I rode it. The clogged valve also meant that I needed to use pliers to open the valve when I needed to reinflate.When I finally got around to changing the inner-tube (for a traditional non-slime version), it took me an hour and a lot of sweat to get the tyre off the rim as the slime prevented the inner-tube from deflating properly.This product seems to be a way of spending more and adding weight whilst making it virtually impossible to change a tyre away from a workshop. Lesson learned.

Ok they add a bit of weight to your tyres.... and also if you do get a puncture, you should still replace or repair the tube... however the slime should get you home at least. The inner tube version is a v high quality thick walled tube (i used to get a normal inner tube filled with slime by my bike guy, till I found you could buy them pre filled).I was very happy with the quality all round, and they are not much more that a good inner tube anyway... but you get a peace of mind knowing that a cut tyre won't leave you stranded... as this green stuff oozes out and hardens (so fast you probs won't notice it happened) I forget the size of the cut it will seal, but it's a reasonable size.All I can say is I get the car version now as well (alongside thick walled 'run flat' tyres)Yeah I'm just a fan of the product, just remember it doesn't make you immune to punctures (nor do they claim that).... and a tube needs replacing or repairing if you do see a bright green spot on your tyre 😉, but as a 'get you home on a commute' product.... well I think it's great. Certainly saved me from walking more than once. I recommend totally, but maybe not for the Pros out there, as there is a weight penalty for using it. However if cycling just for fun or commuting... it's just brilliant (and consider the car version as well... saves putting a space save on until you get to your tyre place... and its not expensive).A superb product in my humble opinion! 👌😊

Fab will buy again

UPDATE - 13TH MARCH 2024:The replacement I requested for (11th March 2024) in place of the bursted tube arrived on the 12th. No questions asked, and without waiting for my return. I upgraded review to 3 star for this.11TH MARCH 2024:Bought new tyres to go with this. Installed Tube and pumped. Just when I hit 60psi, tube bursted. I am honestly not sure what could have caused it. I installed another tube (regular tube of a different brand) the next day and it worked normal. It may be just me unlucky with a defective product; other reviews seem great. I have asked for a replacement because I still want to try it in future; however, I have already bought and used the "Slime 10015 Tube Sealant" for the two tubes I installed. So even if I get this, I may not use it soon. The only further update I may provide would be the speed of the replacement order.
