Tire Slime / Tube Replacement

[dreesemonkey]

Anyone used tire slime to slow/stop leaky tubes? I believe my front tire is tubed so I figure it wouldn't hurt to try it. Kinda a pain having to pump the tire up each time I want to ride.

Aside from that, does anyone change their own tubes/tires? Would a a cheap tire iron from HF let my change my own tubes/tires easily enough, or is it not worth the hassle?

I haven't had the reason to use Tire Slime yet, but there
are lots of guys that use it.

I've never been a fan of it. Seems to me it is supposed to be a temporary fix. I've actually seen guys put tires on with the good ol' starter fluid method.

Funny you said that....
I did that Starter Fluid method last weekend.

I should of filmed it...dang

I thought that's what you said, but on the parts diagram I think it had tubes for both sets of tires. Maybe the rim is bent or something?

I used it on a tubeless tire once, worked well

yeah probably bent, you can get tubes at tractor supply, get them put in, i would take it to a tire shop cause they are a pain to try to do by yourself leave it to the pros
