Slime!!
Posted: Mon Aug 17, 2009 10:17 pm
Good evening all!
Tonight, I had the opportunity to slime my tires...
When I installed my new front tires from Yogie on my rims as Yogie recommended, but found that the valve stem that I got didn't seal well on the hole in the rim due to some old rust that was on the inside of the rim. I was thinking that I was going to have to go back and get a tube for that one wheel...PAIN TO REINSTALL. I thought, "I have heard of others using Slime to seal punctures in a tire, maybe it will work on this leaky stem."
Well, I am here to report that it works like a charm! I followed the directions on the bottle and put the slime in the wheel and refilled the tire. Then I turned the wheel so the slime could get to the stem area... POOF... leak stopped.
This product is easy to use and even includes the tool you need to remove the innards of the valve so you can get the slime in the tire...
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
