    Never even heard of those. I'm intrigued. Do you have a link?
    Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

    I just did a search on Google for
    slime tire liner
    and came up with links to the REI, Performance, and Nashbar sites.

    Here's the link from the REI site: http://www.rei.com/product/11634394.htm. And here's another to the Slime site: http://www.slime.com/bike/index.php. Of course I didn't come up with a link in NZ or UK...

    Something you may want to consider is Stans Sealant. It is what many of the Wisconsin pro/semi-pro/Elite racers use as well as some of the Sports and Citizens.

    I'll be converting my tires over next year. Then I can ditch all the tubes and CO2. I race XC and the less I carry, the better.

    Here are some reviews of this product...

    Just keep pedaling.

    I like slime

    Well, I have slime tubes on my road bike, and I like them. I got a goathead in one; pulled out the goat head, spun the tire around; shot in some CO2 and it's still rolling just fine. Before I add air, I leak a little air out of the valve and haven't had any problems with my floor pump. (It does smell pretty bad, and I have a paper towel handy--it's pretty nasty.) I think it's important to have good tires as well. Cheap tires are just that--cheap tires!
