  • Does green slime work? - Yes! It's absolutely brilliant in my book! I have been riding after fixing the flat for many weeks now, no problem! Fast and easy, with no need to disassemble, no spanners, no tools, minimising equipment you carry when riding! Having done the front tyre, I think I will now repair the back tire even though it doesn't need fixing - (preventative maintenance!).

    Hi new subscriber here, listen just followed your video after getting a puncture yesterday (was gutted) and I cannot breve how good that green slime is! It took just over 5 minitues to fix it and now it's all up and going again I went down the street like a robbers dog on it so thankyou ever so much. I watched other videos of how to fix a puncture before coming across yours and I was ready to pay halfords to fix it because them videos taking off the wheel and all the tools I needed to do it made me depressed! But then I found your channel and the 5 minitue fix and it's frigging brilliant my friend 👏 seriously THANKYOU! Channels like yours.....This is exactly why i love the Internet and TH-cam cheers pal you are my new favourite go to channel when I get in the shit hahaha! Have a cracking Bank holliday weekend pal xxxj

    I was gonna buy Green Slime quite a few years ago with suffering endless punctures with riding on tracks with sharp stones on them. The price long ago was quite high tho so the best/economic solution at the time was to buy some solid tyres (from a Middlesbrough company called Greentyre) and they worked a treat.
    I went over everything pointy just to see how good they were. Some of their tyres are a bit of a hard ride on a bike with no suspension or can feel sluggish depending on tyre weights or improper fit but you'll never need to worry about punctures and heavily worn tyres can easily be recycled.
    Nice to see that Green Slime has a good application for all tyres and even smaller and not particularly standard size tyres.
    Good stuff!

    • @DubiousEngineering

      Amazing... you had solid tyres on your bicycle? - A road bike or mountain bike?

    • @reggiep75
      @reggiep75 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was a mountain bike largely used on tracks, a few inclinations and the odd hill as the ride to work was thru a housing estate and then a country park hence the tracks and the endless punctures/slow punctures.
      One you get the right fitting tyres you get little to no rolling resistance. All good stuff!

    For a tyre that size you should use 2oz also you should clean up the valve with a paper towel to remove any slime before you return the valve core to prevent it from causing problems with the core which could jam it up and cause air loss 👌🏻

    I'm a mountain biker and I swear by the stuff!!!
    During an 80km ride many years ago I noticed my newly slimed tires lost some pressure and upon getting home I removed the tires to find 26 long thorns puncturing the tire and tube with little bits of slime leaking out. Any one of those thorns would have been a flat under normal conditions but I completed the ride with 1/2 pressure left. GREAT STUFF! ...but note to all: other brands of similar products are not equal. The secret is lots of little threads (nylon?) in the mix which clog the hole.

    You must ride this in a much nicer neck of the woods than where I ride my scooter. I tried Slime and it worked for a few weeks after my rear tire with a hub motor got a flat ~1 mile into the first ride, but it kept spraying out of the larger holes in the tire until the Slime was depleted from the tire time and time again until I couldn't get the tire to hold Slime anymore. I tried Stan's NoTubes Tire Sealant, which worked better, but that also ultimately failed. Also, the tire filled with large clumps of the newer sealant as the Slime kept spraying out before it had a chance to harden into clumps. Plus I was riding around in triple digit temperatures on scorching hot asphalt with strong headwinds, causing the motor to really struggle to keep the scooter moving forward. What finally defeated Stan's NoTubes tire sealant was a rusty finishing nail that went through the bottom of the tire and out the sidewall of the tire as I rode past a homeless person who had their stuff blocking the sidewalk and spilling out into the street.

    • @ChaJ67
      @ChaJ67 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@DubiousEngineering Actually working on airless tires. The problems with the first ones I got is they are way super hard to get on without special tooling beyond normal tools you would have to work on a scooter tire. Also, while I found my scooter on the list and the outer dimensions match the stock tires, the rim is actually much wider than the airless tire where it meets up with the rim to the point where one side falls into the inner, more middle part of the rim. So now I am working on getting my hands on wider tires that look to be from the spec sheet on the edge of contacting the fenders. I am thinking as they stretch, they end up being slightly thinner on the hub as I have already measured and confirmed with the current airless tires, so this should push it into it works without rubbing the fenders or jamming the wheel against the fenders. We will see soon if I am right about these wider tires if they both actually fit on the rim and fit under the fenders. I tried to be reasonably careful about the measurements and everything points to it will be really close, but likely work out. There are not that many tires with these particular dimensions, so somewhat limited in what I can try and then it is back to pneumatic if these don't work. Apparently, the expectation is to have a bigger ratio between the widest part of the tire and the width of the rim. But then the fenders are designed more around the max width of the tire, so you can end up in a tricky situation real fast if your scooter doesn't follow this expectation. Also would be nice if more scooters had split rims to make it easier to go to solid tires, especially as the bigger wheels end up with much bigger and harder to get on solid tires.

    I have used slime over the years in motorcycle tyres, the last being a Suzuki Sv650 which caught a screw straight in the middle of the rear wheel, that would have been a new one plus fitting, so £130 - 150 one tube of the green stuff and the tyre was still on and holding pressure over a year later when I sold it, so yeah it's not magic and for certain types of puncture it won't work, but for the majority of it I'd back it all the way considering the price is around £10

    Some advice, don't use such a small bicycle pump, use a pressure pump with a (psi) pressure indicator, I'd recommend pumping front wheel to 45psi
    rear wheel to 50ps1 (based on 80kg rider weight)
    This high tire pressure helps prevent any sort of punctures.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    I used this in the rear tire for my m365, I got a mile down the road and then the tyre went again. I also tried it when the front tyre went flat, no luck. The valve removal tool in the cap of the bottle is also pretty brittle, so after a couple of uses it disintegrates and can break the valve core if you are not careful (by getting black plastic stuck in it). Maybe I was just unlikely, but I won't be using it again.

    it only works if the puncture is on the centre band of the tyre. If the puncture is on the side of the tyre, such as when the shear and friction forces cause tears in the tyre, it will not work at all, unless you fill half the tube with it.

If I try to pump it up and the puncher is on the side of tire, will I hear or be able to feel air coming out the side? I ordered a new tire but I thought I’d try slime on my flat tire first. As I’ve heard others say on TH-cam and reviews that they have got 1000km plus after using slime on e scooter. So I thought I’d give it a try. I actually bought green slime months ago but I didn’t use it and when I went to, yesterday, I realised that I bought inner tube slime and I need tubeless green slime. Tbh I don’t think I was aware that there was 2 types when I ordered it.
