I add slime to every tubed tire when I get something and never had a flat… I cracked the aluminum rim on my electric unicycle and road it 20miles home because of slim it’s worth the mess it makes.
I am a trained bicycle mechanic. I've been working on bikes since the early 80's. And as a Mechanic, I HATE slime, its gets every where. I new use something called STANS Tire Sealant. Its primarily used with Tubeless tires. But works great. So much better then slime, when used in a tube.
I'm going to use to try to fix my e-bike, I just bought the Like-Bike seeker S, and like the Titanic, its maiden voyage was today and a "torito" as we call them in Spanish, (I don't know what they are in English, they're these tiny spiky things that grow from some bushes and cacti here in the south) got lodged in the tire and immediately deflated it. My usual go-to fix is duck taping the tube where it got punctured but I'm going to check out this slime, its 160$ Pesos (like 10 USD). Great video, thank you
@@RydinNStyle After testing it out, I don't think it worked. It slowed down the leakage but this morning my bike tire was still flat. I can't repair it with duck tape anymore because the slime messes with the adhesive on the tape and it slides off. I think this slime might have a ruined a perfectly good tube. Thank you for your reply though.
The best sealant to put in your bike tires before you get a flat is FlatOut because it's just the best hands down and trust me it works. I've been using this sealant for years in all of my tires and there's been no more flats for me since. Riding my bike, driving my car around New York City sketchy streets and this FlatOut prevents me from getting any more flat tires again.
@@RydinNStyle The one I have is pretty small. The deck is maybe 10x18 inches. Works great with my bike. I just slide it under the frame and crank it up. So much nicer to work on things like brakes and gears now. I should do a video on it. Maybe my Ebike update video I will be making later this week. Stay safe.
Sometimes there are metal burs left on the interior of the rim that causes flats. I had a bike i would get a flat and go for a ride after and get another flat. Poor quality control is the issue.
Some of these bike tubes also feel wobbly right out the box. It makes me wonder how long they've been sitting in warehouses and if there's some quality control issues
I'm ready to toss the tubes and Chao Yang tires that came with this bike from the factory. It was almost not worth the patch lol I guess I'm just trying out the slime to see if it holds without a patch
you need to change those tyres thay are puncher easy tyres.i changed my tires for Allscape tyres much better with slime added and no more punchers into 3 years use.
Schwabe Marathon tires. and a Thorn Resistant inner tube. With STANS Tire sealant in it. You will be much happier. I've been using that combo on the rear wheel of my recumbent Ebike for 10 years with no problems. Except for when the tire wears out.
I will never use that trash again. My first e-bike came with pre-slimed tubes from the factory... That completely disbalanced the wheels so the whole bike would throb up and down at speed. I didn't make the connection in time... Another e-bike I have, was perfectly balanced. I could lift the rear wheel and blip the throttle up to 30 mph... The bike was steady as could be. After placing just 6 oz in a 4x26-in fat tire the whole bike shook uncontrollably. Never again. I would rather just buy another tube or bring another one with me. That is absolute garbage.
@@RydinNStyleyeah, I even have a short video clip of it on my RU-vid channel. The whole bike oscillates till it equalizes. If it's cold it never will. If the stuff starts to solidify it never will. I learned the hard way, and the costly way.
