Fork-it Posted November 8, 2007 Share I would like to know for how long does 'slime' (the green stuff) stay active in tubes? andIf the wheels were stationary for some time (even months), would the slime still work, or what actions should be taken?

2 X 2 Posted November 8, 2007 Share I think you should replace it every 4 months. If the bike is not going to be used for long times you should turn the wheels at least twice per week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fork-it Posted November 8, 2007 Share thanks,When you say 'replace' does that mean, take the old slime out before putting new slime in, or just put new slime in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodTi Posted November 8, 2007 Share Replace the slime only ... Unless you have some of those infamous "bike-fairies" who, unbeknownst to you, take your precious out for a ridiculous thrashing every night... Pesky little critters those fairies... Ps - they do exist!How else would you explain the fact that I have successfully convinced my wife I need new cranks, this in spite of me doing very little riding over the last while....

Quicksilv3r Posted November 8, 2007 Share I have a Mtb and hardly use it and the slime always works. but i rekon you should change it regularly just to be safe.Quicksilv3r2007-11-08 08:06:42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted November 8, 2007 Share I am not to sure about changing it unless the bike like stands for months . I assume a fill-up should do you well every so often . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
