Now I'm confused. Does the slime eventually solidify somewhat? (Like Pepto--coat, soothe, relieve. I had imagined it kind of coating the inside of the tube with a thin layer that jell-o'ed up.) Or does it remain liquid? If it remains liquid, wouldn't it create one hell of a wobble in the tire? --- Tengai Mark Van Horn wrote:

I bet it does more like centrifically (sp?) and uniformly coats the outter rolling inside surface. Hence goo over small hole and no air sneaks out to ruin your ride. ( In thought at least ) Seems like it would make one hellofa mess if the hole was large enough to let it squish out. I have HD and UHA tubes and hope I never need slime.

I've had it happen. It's a mess but really not all that bad. I never use patches though. Plus, the Slime wipes off leaving your hands clean. It's not like you're going to stay clean changing a tube anyway. Devon

Son of a bitch! It's the same night LA-B-V gets into town. Now I have to pick between the LA-B-V reception dinner or that. Looks like a hoot, I hope it starts late in the evening.... Cheers CA Stu PS I didn't see any KLRs in that video. Those guys must be a bunch of wimps.
