Just to clarify, do you put this into the tyres before there's a puncture as a preventative measure or is it purely after one?

Fitting a new Dunlop Qualifier rear tmoz, thinking about squirting some of that slime in also as I've got a tube sat here on me desk. Is it better to put it in the tube before or after a puncture...anybody got any experience with trying after a puncture?

I would advise you against it Deniz. It creates a sloshy mess inside your tyre that is difficult to scrab off. You are better off carrying a spare tube and tyre levers.

I use the slime and had a puncture last weekend. I think you've got a 50/50 chance of it working.

It did however stop my tube deflating instantly and I managed to get home 45 miles from where the puncture occurred by stopping every 15 miles to put some air in.

As for it being difficult to scrub off? It's water soluble.

I read a link from a place called horizonsunlimited to the slime website all about slime, basically it will only repair small holes but not bigger ones like glass cuts or large nails as the wee bits inside the slime are not big enough to cover the hole.

and you are suppose to be able to fix a tyre after youve put slime in it as long as you wash the slime out before you fix it.

Try this - great stuff and it seals big holes on tubed and tubless tyres

Fitting that rear wheel - Yamaha have a sick sense of humour, how come you need three hands? Every time you lift the wheel into place a spacer falls out and just when you have it sussed youve no free hands to push the axel through! My Fazer was a doddle compared to this nightmare.

I am new to xt660.com but do have experience of using products in tubes. I have always used "Goop". Cheaper than slime which is also good. I ran amy old 1970s BMW on tubed tyres around Romania and back home last year. Not one puncture that i was aware of despite some dreadful roads. Hope this helps, MickWright
