Thanks for this! I'm blind, having extremely poor vision, and your video was descriptive enough that I think I can do this. Thanks to other descriptive TH-cam videos, I've learned how to remove the front and rear tires for not only my bike, but also my boys' bikes.
My oldest son evidently ran over some goat heads with his bike, and I'm trying to do what I can to fix things on my own since I can't afford to pay someone else to do it. Videos like this are a huge help to me, much more than I can say. Thanks again!
Goat heads as in the plant
@@janelleperez8983 - Yes. :-) I had never heard of those things until I came out here to California.
Not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch all the new series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my brother for the last couple of days :)
@Ernesto Jayson Definitely, I've been watching on Instaflixxer for since december myself :D
Thank you so much I just bought my electric scooter and my first ride it had gone a flat tyre then you came along and fixed appreciate so much defently deserve way more subs
Thnks for the vid. Second flat on my electric scooter in two weeks and instead of going through hell removing tube from rim like I first did, I watched your video abd followed the steps and my tire is like new. Awesome product BTW, even if you don't have a flat, it reinforces your wheel.
How long did the tyre last after you did this?? I just got my second puncture in a month and have now filled it with the same slime I’m holding I can get past Christmas with it as I use it 5 days a week
@@TheLele47 around 6 months without issues. It happened again though and I just rinsed and repeated.
Thanks for your comments. I have an electric scooter and I just got my second flat in 4 days. I wish I would’ve seen this before I took the whole thing apart again. I’m going to buy me some slime first thing in the morning.
@@matthale236 use slime it stops flats
It really works! .. I got home today and was looking at my tires and I found a 'Goat's Head' thorn sticking in my front bicycle tire. I pulled it out and of course it started leaking air! So I quickly flipped my bike upside down and started spinning the tire to hopefully get the slime to seal the leak.. and it did! About 30 seconds later the leak had stopped and I ended up losing only about 30 PSI of my tires pressure. Filled it back up with my pump and it is holding steady with no more leaking.
*how long it lasted*
Very step by step, thank you I needed this for my son's bike.
Very unmanly if u didn’t know hit to do this my dad knew how to do this since he was 9
@@kiarrahuerta6193 then why are u in this video
Thank you! Your video was very helpful 😊
Thank you so much for this. Now I can fix my bike.
so does this work, say if my tire is going down fast each time i pump it? obviously i have a large hole? should i try the slime or break the tire down and patch? id sure like to just do the slime
Hey bud can ask I followed the instructions did exactly what you did pulled out the stem but the slime will not push in the tire? Any ideas? Thanks
shouldn't you squeeze with valve down? or am I wrong.
How does the liquid move upwards after say half bottle is finished? ... Is this the same way you'd recommend for a car?
Have you guys ran tuffy liner and slime combo on a fat tires bike?
Great video I was having issues removing the Valve with the little tool will try again XD
i’m trying to get it out and i can’t
Thank you! So it should work on a lawn tractor tire
so you put 8 oz inside a tire's inner tube instead of 4 oz? I might have to try that since I had this inside my hybrid scooter ebike's bike wheel (it uses normal bicycle tires with inner tubes), and it only worked for about two weeks before completely stopped working. The bottle said that this can work up to two years, that is definitely NOT two years but more like two weeks.
Would it work on my 50cc scooter not sure if it has small hole or what but can hear air leaving it 🤔
Do u have to let the slime dry for a few hours before adding air back into the tube ?
Nice helpful video
Is is better than the sticky round pads ??
Does it work for presta valve
Thanks!
How long does it hold
Does that valve remover on the lid work with both presta and shrader valves
No, the remover tool that came with that specific product was strictly for schrader valves.
Where i buy
Is that that a normal tyre valve, a presta valve? How do you get it open like that?
By normal, I think you mean Schrader valve. It looks to be a Schrader valve, which can have their valve core removed. Presta valve on the other hand, only some have removable cores. Removable valve core in Presta style are not common unless you specifically buy one that states that has a removable valve core.
It saves more money than going to get another one because it won't go flat again good job buddy
I just brought some slime. I have an electric scooter with a 6x2 inch tire with a 6x2inch tube & im not sure how much slime to put in. I used Ride On sealant the 1st time & i think i put to much in because it blew my tire out. I noticed the wheel gets hot & i think this caused the tube to expand. I dont want to over do it this time. Any tips for using slime on these smaller tubed electric scooter tires?
You have any update?
So it won’t go in? It’s like really hard and doesn’t squeeze. Should I take my actual tire off?
mua sản phẩm này như thế nào ạ
do you pump the tire right after putting the slime. Or do we wait for some time for the slime to settle or something?
Qayyum Mazumder no waiting is required
Luis Rojas be more specific. No, waiting is required. Or no waiting is required.
Straighten out the valve stem so it's perpendicular to the rim , otherwise the tube can be damaged 👍
should I get the slime or some patches for a flat bike?
Slime is best used before you get a flat.. so that when your tire is punctured it will auto-seal itself and you can keep riding like nothing happened.
Can't u get your bike patched then fill it with slime ....???
The tire referenced on the bottle is probably a 26”. I think he probably used too much.
Greg you can use 3 cans if you want to
@@chriswebb383 yeah I run 15psi of slime and 30psi of nitrogen in my bikes.
@@Space.Ghost. how much would I apply for 4 inch inner tubes for a fat tire bike ?
@@hebrew26commandmentspower55 I was making jokes. Truth be told I dont slime my fat bike or mtb only my road bike. I would imagine 4 cans 2 per tire would be adequate. Double the tire size double the amount. If weight is a concern you may need to look into tube liners.
@@Space.Ghost. so 8 ounces per tire ?
Can u put it on after the tube Is damage?
So I drive, damage the tube, fill in slime and pump it up?
No i think it would just be temporary fix as the air would eventually release cause of the air pressure once you put your weight on it.
Yes you can do this and the bottle says it should last 2 years.
My question is does it work if you had a screw in your tire
Was the tire flat before you started? Or was this a "prevention" addition? My question is if it will repair a flat tire out in the boondocks somewhere. I'd like to avoid having to remove the wheel, pull the tube out, find the leak, patch it, put the tube back, pump it back up, etc. I would much rather just carry a bottle of slime and a pump!
That is my concern to because I go miles into wilderness , cell phones don,t even work out there,,i found :ultra instant bike tire inflator sealer : from walmart , I feel safer with it because its INSTANT ,,no air pumping needed , even tho I have a mini pump, I would rather get inflated and get the hell out of there lol lol
The official Slime video shows the valve on the bottom, just FYI. Thank you fir posting this!
the clear tube that came with is absolute garbage. it doesn’t fit on a mtb valve, way too large. the sealant just spills everywhere, any ideas on how to fix?
$9 for the bottle of slime $4 for a new tube, $0.75 for a patch.
Patching a bicycle tube is easy. I don't even remove the wheel.
Hobo Hacker thing is using slime you probably will never get a flat again. I use sealants on my electric scooters. I use to get flats alot but ever since i filled my tires up with sealant(i used one called Ride On) i havent had problems for a year
Hobo hacker how in the world do you patch the tire without taking off the tire
Iv gone through two tires this year and just brought a slime tune recently so will save me alot of money!
@@robertgomez5378 Pop the tire off one side of the rim and pull out a section of tube where the leak is. Then apply patch. Use soapy water if having trouble finding the leak.

Obviously, you don't ride in the desert!
You should pump some air through the stem to clear any slime before replacing the valve.
It doesn’t really matter
Green slime will only seal small puncture like bullheads,but it can not seal bigger punctures like a gash.
This worked for my front tyre but when I try to do the back tyre (exact same type of wheel and valve) the slime goes down the tube and gets stuck in the valve - it doesn't enter the inner tube at all.
I'm able to inflate the tyre so why won't the slime go in? :/
Hey, Met182 did you remember to remove the valve stem from the tire? i ask you that because the same thing happened to me when i retraced my steps i remove the stem from the front tire but forgot to remove it from the rear tire, just thought that might help you!
what if u completly filled the tire with the slime like completly filled it that would be badass
+gunlover120 and very heavy
bob kirk needs air-(space) to pressure the slime onto the puncture.
lol someone actually did it
lol No it would be Dumbass
Bruh I attach the thing to the valve and it doesn’t even click on and how do I spin it to take the valve core out when it doesn’t even spin like a bottle cap?
Seriously... how tf do you take the valve off the tube!?
Haris Turulja Yeah that was kinda annoying but no need for it rn
I broke that plastic tool.. im gonna have the shop use their tools to get it out haha
suppose you over fill the tire with slime and it oozes out and becomes a BLOB and terrorizes your Hood.
Well u have a horror movie on your hands
My valve remover snapped as soon as I tried to turn it.
Use a proper valve remover
Same
just a note your kid rode straight into the road without looking you might wanna do something about that.
+Andrew Wakeman thanks! we were all looking while filming :)
DrOnE GuY UK can
you have to have the valve on the bottom side of the bike
Natural selection will handle them
@@dannytrejo15
No, you want the valve on the upper half to allow the slime to run down to the bottom of the tube. Having the valve at the bottom, gravity will cause the slime to exert a force back through the stem. However, I definitely wouldn't have the stem straight up at the twelve-o'clock position, more like the 2 or 10 position.
I think he knows his area
Must be cheaper, less messy and also a permanent fix if you get a new insidetube instead of this slime??
mike perkins Sure they are, However i thought those walmart rocket bikes for kids (the bike in your vid) all have inetubes? I did use this slime stuff on a John Deere ride on and it worked fine, but on a Kids bike I would replace the tube I think!
+Badrobot yeh they have tubes
Permanent???
I think I'd reather install a new $5 innertube than $4.50 for half a bottle of slime. Sure this is more convenient and priceless when your'e away from home.
Dirtbike tubes can be as much as 30 bucks so if it works for a while it would be worth it for the 4.50
Do you carry spare inner tubes everywhere with you then?
@@honeybadger9425 Nope. But I usually can make it home by the pump I always have with me. Usually I get punctures that aren't severe so I can pump ever mile or so to get home. The worst scenario is I walk or take a cab. Doesn't happen often - once in a few years.
guys my bicycle tube has many holes will slime still work
joe con c
No.
You can add psi that’s the bad part
How hard is it to squeeze? The darn liquid won't go in and whatever did go in clogged my tire.
4 ounces is more than enough, anymore is a waste of product.
(0:28) - Ever heard of focusing ?

Fuck outta here
Doesn't anyone patch inner-tube punctures anymore ?
(Apart from me, that is.)

No

Seriously, that’s what I am watching a guy reading directions off the bottle? Why helI I can do that, I think😂😂😂😂😂
And still you watched it !
Luke H - Actually I sat down with a cold one expecting some dramatic explanation on the science of fixing a bike tire so yep I got click baited.🤪
Luke H - FUCK YEAH! SEMPER FI!
My cap broke
I stole that exact same bike two weeks ago
Is this stuff toxic to our environment?
I don’t get it a tube is 4 bucks why not just get a new one
Sometimes..you have to move on quick. I often commute 12 miles through the city at night. I don't see myself properly and quickly repairing a flat in that situation. I want to properly fix it ..later. @Bikelife
Because now if he runs over a nail, it won't get flat
yeah that tire is small, you really did not even need 4oz
worst crap I ever used it blow the inner tube in a mile.
Wes Walker ?
Whaaat
Works like a charm for me.
Dude, just fix the tire.
Bought and filled my tires with that mess, never worked. Bought tires with that mess already in the tires - didn't work either. This product is a waste of time and money.
Noooooooooooob
