Just wondering if anyone uses it. Does it work? Does it increase tire wear and rolling resistance?
That go cart I fixed has never made a mess. Nobody and I mean nobody has aired that tire up. Has well over a thousand miles on it now.... Where is this mess supposed to be because I do not see it..HD super thick tubes and liners work best, IMO slime is a useless band-aid after the fact the fails but makes a mess every time you air it.
Just say no to Slime.
From my experience I still contend that slime is no substitute for thick tubes and a liner, and I could care less what little go kart tire does, it always irritates me when I go to air up some thin stock tube and the green craps shoots out all over.If you use a paper thin tube or a preslimed tube. Your gonna get a flat.....
Many of the folks here have never used this stuff the way I suggest from my wounderfull experances. They make vague post about it and go to the next thread.
I rest my case stop using paper thin tubes. It would serve you right to compare notes with somebody who has had success.

Slime only kinda works AFTER the tube is punctured, the smart thing is prevent a puncture to begin with.
I've been using Slime for over 20 years. It's worked extremely well for me. It does increase tire wear because you can ride more (lol).Just wondering if anyone uses it. Does it work? Does it increase tire wear and rolling resistance?
Sounds like you're still doing it wrong.HD super thick tubes and liners work best, IMO slime is a useless band-aid after the fact the fails but makes a mess every time you air it.
Just say no to saying no.Just say no to Slime.
Way to many thorns nails etc in my travels to completely agree with this one. Lets get some clarity here.It does work to a point for small punctures. It will also leave a spot where it sealed the hole. Still I recommend patching the hole as soon as possible. I too use the extra thick tubes and heavy duty liners. I use slime as well. But like its a band aid get me home fix. My front wheel wouldn't be so bad as a road side repair but the rear wheel involves quite a bit of work and much easier to do at home. Sorry but I'm just not going to put my life on the line by riding regularly on a slime repair.
