Got some of the liquid slime on Saturday - ( £3.99 a bottle from aldi )
Decided to put it in my bike last night...What an experience....
Front tube...followed instructions on bottle ( removed valve etc ) - only a small amount went in then there seemed to be blockage - tried to blow it out with air line - nothing - nearly blew compressor !!
Took tube from wheel - Blockage in tube...Poked it out with a fine drill bit - not slime but a piece of rubber on the inside surface of the tube at the base of the valve stem which hadn't been cut away properly at point of manufacture - acting as a none return valve ??
Slime in both wheels ok but then noted both valves were leaking. Despite cleaning the valves the slight air leak form the valves would not stop...Remedied with a pair of new valves...thought it would have been a simple job !!
Out today and no leaks.....
Anyone else had a problem with SLIME??
