MichH Posted January 22, 2007 Share Hi all, I've now got the narrow valve tubes on my MTB (Schraeder?) and I need to find tubes that have slime in them already. I believe Specialized makes these, but they are harder to find than a clean Pro rider ;-) Anyone know where I can find in Jhb, or how to install Slime in a normal tube with the narrow valve?

Mudsimus Posted January 22, 2007 Share Any good bike shop should have stock of the specialized tubes....in a perfect world. If you find one that does.... buy all their stock and pm me! Otherwise use the sludge presta slime. It works...sometimes....if your lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranswurm Posted January 22, 2007 Share I carry Sludge Presta tubes as back up spares in case my UST develops a problem.I would recommend changing to schrauder though I know Ruaan at Fritz Pienaar carries a lot of Specialized accessories.Try him on 011 2340962.
