 A puncture at mile 9 of a Century ride Nov 10, 2006
By Shantanu Rana
At mile 9 of the North Fork Century in Long Island New York I got a blow out on my front wheel. I didn't know that this had happened except that I saw all of the green goo shooting out of the hole. I stopped a couple of seconds later and within about a minute the hole had sealed. There was minimal loss of tire pressure. I was able to get to complete the ride that day and I was able to use the tire the following weekend. All without having to refill my tube. Amazing.
All the tubes I buy now are Slime Lites.

Best of Both Worlds Jul 16, 2007

Before, you either bought a light tube in case you got a flat, and you had to take off the rim and replace the tube or patch it. Or, you went with a Slime-filled tube and carried some extra weight, but you might avoid a flat.
The Slime Lite tube offers a light tube with magical healing powers. Sure, it costs $2 more than the heavier tube with Slime. When you are 25 miles into a ride with lots to go, will you really care that it cost a bit more. Over a season of riding, the difference is nothing.

I Will Buy More Aug 10, 2007
By Bill Grasberger
Last week, I went on my longest ride of the year. I bonked with 20 miles to go on a hot day. Then to add to my suffering, with 10 miles to go my rear tire started to go flat quickly. (More than a thorn hole.) I bought a set of these smart tubes a year ago, and this was my first flat!
Well, I pulled over and pumped up the tire. And I was able to ride another 3 miles with my 200lb weight loading the rear tire before the tire started getting too low on air pressure. I pumped it up again and was riding 2 minutes later, and it held the air well for me to cover the next 3 miles. One last fill of air, and I rode home no problem.
Amazingly, a week later, the tire is still holding lots of air pressure from the last time I filled in on that trip!
Do I still carry a patch kit and a spare (regular) tube? Absolutely! But this tire was worth its wait in gold in allowing to just get myself home when I was physically spent without having to hassle with repairing the tire in the heat.

 Pretty good tubes Jan 05, 2008
By Xchequer
I like the slime tubes. They have worked well for me when I have had a puncture I've been able to ride for days without patching the hole or putting air in it. When you get a puncture you get loud hissing because the slime is spraying out of the tire. If you stop with the tire pointed down the hole will fill in with slime and you can continue riding. The only problems are the stem on the presta valve version unscrews to come apart (I'm guessing so the manufacturer can put the slime in)and as a result sometimes you get a leak and have to take it apart and clean the seal. The other thing is when using a presta to schraeder adapter, because it screws down tight, when unscrewing it I've had the stem loosen and pop off. A nice pop at 70 psi. Over all they've saved me a few times during my commute on wet or cold days and nights.

Helps, but not enough Jan 03, 2007
By D. Mangold

I've used this tube for a few months now on my road bike, and I've had 1 flat that sealed immediatly and only needed more air, and 1 flat that I had to patch or replace the tube. I would guess this helps reduce flats a bit, but I'm not sure it's worth the extra money, and you still need to carry repair and reinflating kits, so it doesn't save you space or weight on the ride. A great idea, but it doesn't quite live up to its promise.
