Pretty good tubes

I like the slime tubes. They have worked well for me when I have had a puncture Ive 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 (Im 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 Ive had the stem loosen and pop off. A nice pop at 70 psi. Over all theyve saved me a few times during my commute on wet or cold days and nights.

The slime tends to collect at one part of the tube, even after several hundred miles riding. this creates an annoying vibration which quickly puts your arm to sleep.

Also, when removing it, it spews the green slime over the work area.
