both 26 inch tubes are bad out of the box the first one leaked around the valve the second one blew up when inflated to 40 pounds complete waste of time and money.

No mess is nice but they are a bit pricey. They work great for small punctures and always get me home!

Is there anything more frustrating than changing tubes mid-ride? Not for me. This is a great product that got me through the last 16 miles of the bike on my recent 70.3 when I picked up a tack but was able to finish the race.
Review by test tuber
I have used Slime tubes for years with great success. I have ridden in thorn and cactus infested areas for hundreds of thousands of mile. Not to mention the hundreds of small sealups,I once had a gnarly 4 inch thorn go thru the tread and out the sidewall, I pulled it out spun the tire and watched the green wonder goo seal it up. I never changed that tube until the tire went bald, several hundred miles later.
I was dissapointed though when this last tube I used separated at the stem rubber connection at initial fillup. Too much of a pain in the ass to send it back so I ate it.
Even given that, these tubes are worth their weight in thorns.

I use the slime tubes on my mountain bike and they work great. I decided to buy these for my road bike for training to minimize the possibility of a tube swap during a ride. These tubes do hold up and will typically allow you to finish a ride before the leak forces a tube swap. I did get a pinched tube with one of these and it did not stop the leak, so for that reason I gave 4 stars.

These tubes are great. We live in an area where there are tons of thorns. I did nothing but patch tires. Haven't had to do one repair since putting these on.

USE SLIME EXTRA STRONG 29X1.25 ON MY TOURING BIKE, WHILE RIDING ON 700X47 TOURING TIRES, WORKS GREAT
Review by Itri2
I think as time goes on the gooo inside does not move around as it should also If you get two punctures at once forget it they can not handle it. I like them, they do give me a bit more confidence when riding on the crappy roads around here.
Small stuff no problem anything like a piece of wire from a car tire forget it.
Also the valves get frozen up if you have not ridden for a while.

These tubes have kept me flat-free for months. I use these in 28mm tires.
Review by tritodoit2
I have used these tubes n y training bike, after having a three plate episode a few years back I decided I never wanted to walk 8 miles down hill in my cleats again! So I have been using slime tubes and they work great I never worry about running over stuff unless it is big stuff then I get worried.
I had one instance where a wire went through both sides of the tire and tube a very long wire and sharp.
Recently I had to replace a tube because the valve stem got stuck open but I had that tube on there for years, no complaints.

No more flats for years! I have seen the slime in action blocking a puncture AS I CONTINUED TO RIDE. Best product for touring and around town on lousy roads.

Review by Commuter Curt
First of all, I'm completely comfortable changing tubes and tires along side the road. No issues for me to complete the task in 10 minutes or less. I just don't always leave myself enough time. Here is the problem, my commute involves a train and a 10 mile bike ride. I don't always leave myself enough time and if the wind is blowing the wrong direction, and I get a flat, I miss the train and I'm in for a much longer bike ride. The extra rotating mass from the slime isn't ideal, but it provides a little extra insurance if that glass or goat head decides to catch a ride in my tire. Its just good insurance and if I burn a few extra calories, all the better

Another great way to protect my rain bike tires from having flats.
