After a second rear flat in about 2 months im wondering if anyone is useing slime or another tube sealant in their bike tires?
I use it in all my trailer, mower and tractor tires on the farm and swear by it. But wondering if its worth it in a tubed bike tire. Most i use it in are tubeless. Yes i know it leaves a mess. Changed a few tires ive had it in.
But after 1 1/2 hours by the road sunday after pick up a nail in a new rear tire Im thinking it might of got me back to the house.

Thoughts? Experiences?

i wouldnt do it. it never works in tubed bicycle tires. i dont think motorcycle tires would be any different.

Yeah thats kinda been my thoughts. Wouldn't be worth the mess in a tubed bike tire.
New tire and kinda ruined the whole day. Was going down to dinner and decoration with the family. Made it worse i had the daughter on the back and she had to set there as well.

Had the ramps in the truck but the rest of them were already an hour ahead of us(daughter wasn't ready when i got there).
Had to call the old lady and she was almost there(70 miles down the road).
On top of that had to borrow a cell phone to do it. Charged mine but left it laying on the frigging desk!
AND had left my adapter for my air compressor on the desk as well. Could of probably limped the 5 miles back to the daughters place. Bad day!
Second nail in two months.

I use to think it was a great idea... now, I pretty much avoid the entire thing. You know what beats a perfectly good tire? Nothing.  A tire with holes, is a tire with holes.

The old "fix a flat" appearently causes issues mostly with regards to after the fact things:
It can gum up the air valve... ours are expensive to replace ( metal 90 degree)
It can shred inside and ball up causing the tire to seem worn.
it can puddle (bad application) and make the tire seem wrong.

I use to keep a can for my daughter so she would not have to change a tire. Didn't work... she through the whole tread.. so she still called me.
