The Tube With Tubeless Flat Protection
Tired of flat tires? If you ride in an area where the roads are often covered with glass, wire, or small thorns, Slime Self-Sealing Tubes may be for you. The butyl rubber tube is filled with green colored "Slime" sealant. The sealant seeps out any small hole and solidifies to seal the hole as you're riding. You often won't even know you had a flat.
Features:
- 36 or 48mm Presta Valve
- Pre-filled with Slime sealant
- Sizes for 26", 27.5", and 29"/700c tires

Reviews
Boy these are heavy tubes. But after three consecutive days of flatting from different punctures on new tires, I gave up. Once installed, your wheels will noticeably slump around and handling is pretty terrible. But hey, no flats after 600 miles so far, a couple self-healed punctures, and they hold air like a dream. I'd never use them for training or weekend rides, but they serve their purpose for daily commuting peace of mind.
These are required anywhere you have sharp, pointy objects waiting to ruin your day. Arizona, where I ride, is awash in goat heads. Small, round seeds that have points as sharp as any needle you've seen, all over the place. Without Slime tubes, you will learn to either repair tires out on the trail, or spend allot of time pushing your bike home. Either one is not the way to enjoy your bike adventure. Don't leave home without them!
Been using Slime tubes for many yrs, got a flat recently, even with tube liners and Slime. Got the tire off and had all this watery green liquid, I had a spare tube and made the change. Got home and was reloading the Slime and read the instructions, it's good for 2 years. I believe I had last loaded Slime into the tube about 6 yrs ago.
My spouse & I have been using these Slime inner tubes for years in conjunction with Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires... the combo makes our rides bulletproof! Havent had a flat on the road in years!
after 6 flats in the last two weeks decided to go with new tires(gator skins) and slime tubes. I see the slime tubes have good reviews but my front tube only last one day and the tube split on the seam next to the stem. must be a bad tube or I just have very bad luck.
My commute takes me through dirt paths and paved roads with more crevasses than an arctic climb- and I installed these to keep me rolling until I got to work and back home. So far, so good though they have not been penetrated as of yet. They are much heavier than standard tubes, so if being light and speedy is your thing, bring your patch kit instead.
I spent a sunny week biking in the Phoenix, AZ area. The trip leader strongly recommended using slime self-sealing tubes. Viola! A week without flats despite all the nasty, thorny elements on the road and I am not referring to other bikers. I did experience some green slime shooting out after I first installed and pumped up my tires. But this reassured me tht the slime was working. Give 'em a try.
A mainstay (IMHO) for any cyclist that does not run tubeless. I have gotten as many as three seasons out of one tube. One of only three products I have ever given a five star rating to.
I keep this on my rear tire all the time now. Total life saver! Riding through city streets every day, I can really tell the difference between when I have a slime tube vs a regular tube in the frequency of flats. I highly recommend this.
There was a period I got 3 flats in a one week, even with tire liners. A real pain, especially if it's raining. I searched around for alternatives and gave Slime a try. I've been Slimed and I love the stuff. All my bikes have Slime Tubes installed. I'll get an occasional Slime Spray, which tells me it just plugged a leak and I can continue my ride without stopping. When you do have time to repair the leak (really isn't necessary), the Slime marks the spot, making for a easy repair.
