Slime 10015 Bike Tube Puncture Repair Sealant, Prevent and Repair, suitable for all Bicycles, Non-Toxic, Eco-Friendly, 237 mL (8oz) bottle

I had a bicycle puncture while on holiday and the tyre went completely flat so I ordered some of this slime to our holiday park. I put in about half of the slime and pumped the tyre up. It held pressure for a few minutes and then went flat again. I was disappointed but the puncture was likely significant and this was my last resort anyway as I had no tools or puncture repair kit. It was a rear wheel with disc break so I didn’t really have any hope of a repair! I then tried again with the remaining half a bottle as I had nothing to lose and miraculously the second time it worked! The repair held and I’ve been using the bike without problems for the remainder of the holiday. Very grateful for this slime and will definitely use again preventatively next time. Just a quick note on the valve core removal - the tool clips onto the core and then you turn anti clockwise to gently unscrew and remove. This wasn’t very well explained in the instructions or videos I found. Otherwise all very straightforward to use.

I was very sceptical of this stuff. Not going to lie. I ended up buying it despite of some stupid people on YouTube claiming it didn't work after filling a tyre with it then deliberately hammering a nail into their bike wheel - as if that's representative of the real world. Anyway. I actually already had a slow puncture in the read tyre of my bike before I put the slime in. I'd pump it up and it's hold air for a day or so but was flat after that. I installed the slime, pumped the tyre back up. Went on a slow, short trip round the block to distribute the slime throughout the tube and put the bike back in the garage. Checked on it the next day, still fine, the day after, fine, got to the weekend, no problems. I cycled a 70 mile round trip on the Sunday, got back home was fine still. So the slime had already sealed the puncture properly by this point. I've used the bike since and it wasn't until the other day I went on another short ride, about 23 miles in the end. 4 miles from home I must have got another puncture and instead of, like normal, the tyre just quickly going flat and rolling on the rims, the tyre slowly (enough that I didn't notice immediately) lost pressure to the point where it got to about 20psi (where I'd realised it was pretty squishy and not riding properly) but it never went completely flat and had obviously self sealed at 20psi. I didn't bother pumping it up for the sake of 4 miles and rode the rest of the trip on it no problem. When I got home I pumped it back up to 60psi and it's stayed there since. Amazing stuff. As for installing it, you'll need Schrader valves because you need to remove the valve core in order to put the slime into the tyres. The cap of the bottle is actually the tool to remove the valve core so don't throw it away! What I did was have the tyre so that the air inlet to the tube was about four o'clock. This way the slime was going in and there was no air getting trapped pushing it back out again (which is what happened first time I tried with the tyre inlet all the way at the bottom). The bottle is clearly marked for the correct amount of slime to put into each wheel. I had no problems getting the valve cores in or out with the supplied tool. Everything went well and there was only a little bit of spillage when removing the pipe from the inlet. Just make sure you have some kitchen roll or an old cloth or something to clean up with and you're all set. I can't fault this stuff. I heard online that other people have managed to put this in Presta valved tubes by using a large syringe and needle, filling the syringe with slime, injecting it into the tube and either letting the slime itself plug the "puncture" or patching it up when done. I haven't tried this and to be honest I'm a bit sceptical about this approach as there are what look like black tiny chunks of rubber in the slime and I'm not convinced they'd go through the needle. Anyway, just a note, this stuff is nor for Presta valved tubes as you cannot remove the valve core in order to quirt the slime into the tube properly. I've no idea if this would work with European "Dunlop" valves but the supplied pipe would, I think, be too big, so again you might have to get inventive. Anyway, that's my review. Just wanted to comment on how this stuff has successfully fixed two punctures without so much as me having to take the wheel off. I am super impressed.

It is working. But contains tube only for shrader valve. I have adapter (short narrower tube) for presta, otherwise You need to use elecrical tape around valve to increase girth, and can be filled on. Just check if valve core is removable. It stays up to 2 years in tube. Sometimes fail to seal puncture, but in this case turn wheel "puncture down" pump it, and wait 2 minutes. Sorted. Best tube sealant so far for me.

I cycle lots - mostly on paths, trails and rougher surfaces (as well as some roads) - I consider that punctures are inevitable; some time ago, I read an article about Slime Smart Tubes and was intrigued. I now have slime-filled tubes on two other bikes and find these to be excellent. This purchase was made because of my exceptional experience with the others: no punctures for 3 years over (many, many) hundreds of miles unforgiving terrain! Speed freaks will tell you that slime-filled tubes add weight to your bike; and they do, but this is a small price to pay for puncture protection (in my view). I bought this pack as a DIY option for the tubes on a new commuter folding bike, hoping that I would get the same level of puncture protection without having to buy the tubes as well (cheaper and more environmentally friendly)! Slime Smart Tubes tubes function best as protection against annoying pin-prick punctures (small thorns etc.) they do not guard against large gashes or pinch-flats, but they are not meant to. The 'slime' is a green liquid that coats the inner of the tube as you ride; on exposure to the air it hardens to a plug that seals the gap. I was a little worried that during the installation process, I would end up with green slime spraying everywhere but this was not the case and filling the tubes was very easy. One 237ml bottle will treat two tubes up to 29" so using the same amount of slime on two 20" tubes probably amounts to overkill. Anyhoo, the product is easy to use - deflate the tyres, remove the valves using the tool provided with the bottle, attach a plastic hose to the bottle and the valve on your tube and squeeze the bottle. Provided you made an a tight seal, the slime will go in the tube, not on the floor! A top tip is to have the vale positioned anywhere but at the 6 o'clock position (the higher the better). Half the bottle contents goes in each tube. Replace the valves and inflate - it really is that easy! When you ride, the slime will be distributed inside the tube. So far (and touching wood) I have been puncture free on my other bikes since adding slime tubes - I see no reason why the DIY version of the product should be any different. Note that because the Slime Smart Tubes are under pressure, when topping-up air (which they require rarely) some slime will spray from the valve - this can be reduced by rotating the wheel so that the valve is at the top and leaving it for 10 minutes to allow the slime to settle at the bottom of the tube. This method is also useful if you want to deflate the tube to replace a worn tyre. Highly recommended.

Produkt testowałem w dwóch rowerach i niestety mam mieszane odczucia. W rowerze mojej żony — z cienkimi oponami, w których powietrze notorycznie uciekało — sprawdził się znakomicie. Po aplikacji preparatu koło trzyma powietrze doskonale, problem z ciągłym dopompowywaniem zniknął. Niestety w moim rowerze MTB z grubszymi oponami i dętką uszkodzoną przez drobną, około milimetrową dziurkę, preparat zupełnie się nie sprawdził. Szlam wypływał przez dziurę, nie był w stanie jej zakleić, a podczas pompowania elektryczną pompką wręcz wystrzeliwał z dętki. Próbowałem też kręcenia kołem, odczekiwania aż wyschnie, dodatkowego łatania — bez skutku. Podsumowując: produkt działa, ale nie w każdej sytuacji. Do drobnych nieszczelności w cienkich oponach jest OK. W przypadku większych obciążeń czy MTB — lepiej mieć pod ręką tradycyjny zestaw naprawczy lub nową dętkę.

Ein ganz tolles Mittel, um meine E Scooter Reifen zu „flicken“. Sehr leichte Handhabung, die Reparatur geht damit ganz schnell. Kaufe ich gerne wieder, weil ich top zufrieden mit Preis und Leistung bin.

Wat een snelle reparatie van de band! Klusje van niets. Zonder enig bijkomend gereedschap opgelost. Wel een fietspomp nodig! Een aanrader! De fles was genoeg voor de twee 12" banden van mijn elektrische stepje. Heb dus gelijk ook de andere band voorzien van dit spul in de hoop voorlopig geen lekke banden meer te krijgen.

Ottimo prodotto, sigilla bene i fori anche quelli più grandi.
