Allrounder Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Do a tubeless conversion with stans. Do not use CO2 except if you are under sserious pressure for what ever reason. When not riding spin your wheels once a week.
Patchelicious Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Do you think its brand specific? or in general? the reason I ask is, the problem may be with the sealant more than the application?To be honest, I am not sure. But I think it is a fundamental issue with putting slime inside tubes, I am sure some will be better than others. I have always been told/taught that slime tubes are purely temporary backups (get me home type things) for tubeless tyres. Have never seen a Grinch droll form inside one though.
Robbie Stewart Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 The issue here is the matter of the sealant congealing, I would assume that the reason would be the same regardless if you are using the sealant in a tube or in a tubeless setup. And secondly it would be the first time ever in Hub history that someone does not know the answer to the question at hand .... or at least profess to know the answer. (insert sarcasm font here) Alrighty then... Note the comic sans font used in my post. You should know it's meaning by now since you are so active on this forum.. Are you suffering a temporary or permanent sense of humour failure on this Monday? Again, note the font! edit - spelling, to cater for the grammar Nazi's among us.
Pulse Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Is it those Dr Sludge tubes? From my experience (I used to have them on my commuter bike), they tend to coagulate without being exposed to CO2 inflation. I've had issues on tubes that had never been inflated with via CO2.

Again, note the font! edit - spelling, to cater for the grammar Nazi's among us.mmm comic sans font... cant say I have seen it being used here much effectively... generally we just let people jump to conclusions here. but now that you have spelt it out for me, I understand that your post was in jest. I do however appreciate the spelling correction
NicoBoshoff Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 These are the important questions of our time.
droo Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Slime tubes are a waste of time IMHO. If you get a foreign object in your tyre the movement between tyre and tube will allow leakage, and the slime tends to mean that patches don't stick once there's a hole. Tubeless or patch kits.
popcorn_skollie Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 OP gotta be trolling. Imagine you must see someone cut open a tube.And there it is. Donatello's drolle. What will your response be? Cowabunga?No my bru. You give the man some solid advice. Stop using tubes.

Letum911 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 photo_2017-10-09_11-20-57.jpg How have the moderators not yet stepped in with the ban hammer? Clearly this is a pic of a toy bought in the Grinch fetish section at the local adult store stuffed through a small one-way valve, hence the torn tube!!
Odinson Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I hope OP kept it. Stuff it into the front of your bib during your next ride for that extra confidence boost out on the trails.
Paddaman Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I am horrified that there are still those using tubes on mountain bikes, let alone putting slime into those tubes.....
Long Wheel Base Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 When the OP eventually comes back online he is going to have a lot more reading than he expected on his thread.
Odinson Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 When the OP eventually comes back online he is going to have a lot more reading than he expected on his thread. Some sage advice too.
Long Wheel Base Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Some sage advice too. The best advice I have seen all day. Then again telling someone to dump the tubes for tubeless can't be considered advice anymore? Surely it's common sense by now?
droo Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Haven't gone into production yet, will ket you know when they do. Grinch *** included I hope. Gotta have some sort of USP.
