The slime is completely inside the tube which is inside an enclosed tire casing. Cheers Until it’s not. -- duane |

In fact it might even be less messy as the tire casing of the tubular tire would still be supporting the tube when the tire was removed from the wheel. Cheers |

For example, try to find really good bacon in Europe. Ask yourself how good "bacon" can be if 85% of Bernays-brainwashed American tourists get by with a surrogate offerred by Danish spam producer Tulip. Try /ventrèche/: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventr%C3%A8che_(porc). It is quite hard to find anyway, even here. Now that stuff I wouldn't eat ... Come on, gallophobe, just tell yourself it's some kind of Saumagen con Obatzda, then you'll like it.

I figure if I get a puncture on the second wheel I can put the Stan's into it and that should seal it until I get home. The ONE TIME I punctured both tires on a ride I didn't have any sealant and really wish I had had it then. I think of it as insurance - hope you never need but happy you have it if you do need it.

Cheers I carry two spare tubes and a patch kit. Also a plastic 20 to use as a boot. I've cut a tire recently but haven't had a flat in a couple of years. Of course I expect to have one on my way home now that I've mentioned it. |

On some of my bikes I carry a compact pump but on others where it fits I carry a full frame-fit pump. Cheers |

Jeorg:
Heavy duty thorn resistant tubes pumped up to 110 lbs? Why, oh why are you suffering that harsh ride? Surely you would have no greater risk if snakebites with pressure of day, 90lb. Irless if your tires at 28mm or wider. Harry Travis Portland OR USA |
