    This was the simplest video and it was so helpful. It was easy to seal the tires with confidence. Thank you for such a great instructional video.

    Excellent explanation of how to use slime on a bike tyre. Especially exactly how to remove the valve stem. 5 stars!

    i installed this on my fat tire ebike yesterday 26x4 and slimes website calculator said i needed 12,5 oz per tire, i had a 32 oz bottle so i just put 16 in each, the bottle did say to shake 30 seconds vigorously for 30 seconds before installing. i didnt have any flats but being the ebike is 70+ lbs i am betting prevention is better than cure

    Mine clogged in both tires… very depressing says clean with a wet qtip but then the Cotton at the end broke off in the tube… 😞 I’m tired and sad just got the bike yesterday only 6 miles before a flat happened…. I’m thinking to just replace the tubes at a bike shop

    would you only use the slime to fix a flat tire or can I use the slime to prevent future flats?

    • @HowToWithJames
      @HowToWithJames  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      From what I have seen it does not unless it reaches the air where the hole is. So in the tire it is in liquid form to seal the next hole that comes up.

    • @Dopeassbikevids
      @Dopeassbikevids ปีที่แล้ว

      No,and there's chunks of rubber in it thatt continually block the hole forced by the air pressure.and I believe it only works on the portion of the tube that contacts the tire side not the rim side because gravity and centrifugal force allways forcing it to the outer tire side.

    @steponice ปีที่แล้ว

    You didn't show the part where the slime just pours out the hole in your tire and goes all over the floor while sealing nothing (I later took the tire off and the hole is tiny). Oh and the "tool" broke off immediately.

      I am not sure what you are asking. I rotated the tire the way the instructions stated. There is no time limit specified. I decided about 5 minutes to make sure the slime was evenly distributed. storage.googleapis.com/slime-com/uploads/10003_8oz_Tube_instructions0.pdf

      Hello, I am not sure why you are coming here acting like I did something wrong before first asking me. All the information you are looking for can be found on the manufacturers website. www.slime.com/us/faq-details.php?id=17 None of what you are asking I feel was required information in this video. They are good questions to know answers to but not relevant.
