Default Slime in the tires

Just out of curiosity you know that product "Slime"., you put it in your tires and it stops you from running flat. Its advertised for motorcycles as well as cars and other vehicles. I put it in my car and mountain bikes and I know it works for mountain bikes with not problems and don't know about my cars yet but seems to work. I'm sure it causes problems with balance with a sportbike, but what do you all think about it.

I think you should find someone else to change your tires if you start using
that on your bike. Get a small tire plug kit instead.

haha rob, very good point. I was just thinking of it since when I went to south Dakota and Wyoming, I was so scared to get a flat since I would be stuck at least 50 miles or so from civilization.

Another good reason to carry a tire repair kit with plugs and CO2 cartridges to refill the tire.
