can't drill through top sub frame for bolt

I was at Walmart today looking for some Slime- all they had was Camel tire sealant (looks like watered down carpenter's glue). Has anyone used this stuff successfully? How much do you put in each tire? There was no mention of use in a motorcycle tire in the instructions. Thanks, Darren

I asked this same ???? two days ago and got no response from this list. The only response I had was from one guy on another list and he said that it was dangerous to use in a tubed tire. I would not take the chance............Wayne

Not dangerous but it does not work with a tube ...and what a mess it does if you got a flat. When you get a hole in the tire and tube (ex.: nail hole) the air not only escape by this hole in the tire, but around valve, by the bead, and with this kind of wheel, by the holes of the spokes. Stuff like slime is very good in tubeless tires but justr can't seal all theses holes .

Camel? All I've seen at squall-mart is a "Victor" branded product. I'm using it now. RM

The Camel reports are coming out of Canada. It's probably just a Canadian thing. Camel contains 1/3 camel's milk for extra sealing power. The US FDA won't allow it here unless it has a Nutrition Facts label. Mark B2 A2 A3

It isn't perfect but it has gotten me back home on a number of occasions. I have found that as long as you keep rolling the Slime will keep the air in the tube, when stopped it will leak slowly. This has kept me from doing repairs in the boonies on several occasions. Regards, Kurt Grife

Slime has been used by Southern California desert dirt riders in their tube type tires for years now. Slimed tubes can be repaired if you are careful to make sure that no Slime remains on the outer surface of the tube when you apply the patch. I carry small alcohol pads to clean the tube surface before repairing the Slimed tubes. Slime is especially advised for those areas in which there are many thorns. It will not repair sidewall punctures (i.e., most pinches) unless the sidewall puncture is very near the tread area where the Slime resides. Tube type Slime is distinguished from the tubeless type by the small black particles that the tubeless type has floating in it. John f. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

The Crisco and bacon fat sound interesting, and probably smell better when your cutting!!! I always have a bottle of cutting lube around, so I've never tried this, but I think the next time I cook some bacon, I'll save the grease just to drill a hole. Wife thinks I'm crazy anyhow. Brian A12

Has anyone tried this stuff? http://www.ride-on.com/motorcycle.htm It got a good write up in Rider a few months back, but isn't as widely available as Slime. Just wondering if anyone has used it and can tell us about it. Arden Kysely
