The puncture repair for all size wheelsReviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 June 2023

This maybe the smallest bottle but I only used half in my wheel barrow tube. I then pumped it up with the cars electric pump. I then found that the car had a bottle of an equivalent product for punctures on the car. No spare wheel any more and if Honda use it on their range that's enough for me to give this product 5 * !

My friend complained that he had an embarrassing puncture and didn’t want to talk about it.
Apparently he was riding good and hard when it developed a picture, and was a really let down.
He filled it up with this product, that I gave him, and now he can go on more night rides. An ideal present for a friend.

Having been stranded on a new rear hub motor electric bike miles from home with a flat back tyre, I needed to try and stop a similar situation from happening again. With the rear hub motor, rear wheel removal is a pain in the backside and prevention seemed to be a better option than a cure.

A large well known car parts and cycling store fixed the puncture for me and were asked to fill the tres with Slime at the same time, but when I picked up the bike, I was told it wasn’t possible to Slime the tyres as they are fitted with a Presta valve rather that Schrader valves. Presta valves do not have a removable core so you can’t just squeeze the Slime in. They do not sell 20” inner tubes pre-filled with Slime either so that wasn’t an option.

Having done a bit of research online, I found several ways to get Slime into Presta valves tubes, but all of them required removal of the wheels to take the inner tube out before dropping the valve core into the inner tube and not letting go of it while injecting the Slime, then trying to get the core back from the inside, all done completely blind. Then I stumbled across a video of a guy who did it the easy way! Buy a 2oz flavour injecting syringe (available on Amazon), fill it with Slime, puncture the tube with the needle and then inject the Slime straight in. He claimed that the Slime on its own would seal the hole you’d just made, but a belt and braces job would be to apply a patch over the top.

I bought the Slime (enough to do two pairs of tyres), the syringe and some patches and gave it a go. Both inner tubes could be accessed sufficiently easily without removing the wheels and after letting out most of the air and inserting the needle, I was able to inject the Slime went in without any issues. When I pulled the needle out, the hole was tiny and a bead of Slime had sealed it on its own. Once done, I span the tyres to evenly distribute the Slime and then inflated them to 50psi. Three days later, a check showed no pressure loss at all and I’m happy that the Slime is doing its job. I’m going to do the wife’s bike too, but I’ll try a supplementary patch too, just for peace of mind, but I’m sure it’s not strictly necessary.
