Tyre (tire!) sealant.
Permalink  
 


Anybody used the 'Slime' stuff on their TTR?

I used it on my last road bike (Diversion 900) and it worked well. However I was advised that Ultraseal was better so tried that in the FJR. Not for long. Horrendous imbalance on the front at enthusiastic speedswink

Now I just carry a repair kit and Co2 cylinders.

It occurs that at TTR speeds Slime might be ok.

What's the thinking on here? I see Brian recommends a can of aerosol repair foam.

Has anybody used Slime type stuff? Has it proved successful?

I use the slime never had a puncture with it in. No imbalance at speeds either. However care must bee taken when letting air out or in ur tires that they are not sitting at the lowest point of the wheel as it spurts out and make a mess and possible could jam the valve ( iv only seen this on a push bike).

I've had this problem with a pushbike too. When checking the air pressure the slime was forced out of the valve and gummed up the both the valve stem (so I had to replace the innertube) and my pressure guage. disbelief

It might not be an issue with a motorbike though.
