fandacious Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Say i've put sludge into a set of road tubes and i want to put those tyres on other Wheels. whats the story with deflating the tubes to remove the tyre from the rim? can it be done? is it messy? is the sludge still effective afterwards? fandacious2008-02-22 08:39:20
controlc Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I usually leave the wheel in the 11 or 1 'o clock position for a minute [to get the slime away from the valve] then deflate. Some of the slime will squirt out, but it's not THAT messy. Remember to press the valve in FULLY [i.e. a lot of air escapes quickly]. You don't want the sludge to set in the valve stem.
sampie Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Whatever you do, dont use the green sludge. It's not working.
AndreZA Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Fandacious, why are you using it in road tubes? What youcan do is leave the wheel with the valve at 6 o'clock for all the slime to leave the valve. The slowly turn the wheel so that the slime move to the bottom. Let it stand with the valve at the top and then deflate a bit at a time.

fandacious Posted March 7, 2008 Author Posted March 7, 2008 If i spin the wheel fast a few times, wont centrifugal force pull the stuff out of the valve? fandacious2008-03-07 05:29:52
