Paigette=Flats!

[sbctwin]

slime is a good thing in mtb tires, in my opinion. I have slime in my commuter (mtb) bike. I wanted slime in my road bike tires, but for some reason they couldn't get it to go in...I have 650c wheels and they said I had to use the slime liner instead. In my early riding this year, I had 5 flats on my road bike in one month...that is why I went with the slime liner. But, I recently have had 2 flats with the liners...both times a small sliver of metal penetrated tire, liner and tube....I hate flats, mainly because I can't seem change the tire on my own and get very frustrated when I try ....

Thanks for your reply!

Just got back from LBS and they put SLIME Gel in the front tire & a SLIME LINER AND GEL in the back tube. I don't get why the back tire got extra stuff??

Anywho, I'd just like to say that up until the flat, it was an ABSOLUTE blast! I did have to walk up & down this one huge hill, but other than that, I stayed on the bike!
