owheely Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I've read a smattering of ewheelers using a product called "Slime" in their innertubes to reduce the risk of puncture. So many questions: What does slime physically do to prevent sharp objects from piercing the tube? I understand that not all vehicles (including EUCs) are compatible with Slime, and that Slime can even damage the tube or tire or rim - has anyone validated use for a Glide 3? Is there any weight limit or riding environment that Slime is more suitable for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxkan Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 As I learned the main cause of punctures is not enough pressure in the tire. Try to inflate it to a recommended psi or even a bit more and you'll have much less punctures (maybe no punctures at all) https://www.ewheels.com/guide-tires-appropriate-pressures-electric-unicycle/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgads Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I asked Kevin at Solowheel and he said his techs who design and repair use it. They actually use something called Monster Goo (I think thats the name) but the endorse using Slime and Goo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAS Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I've never used Slime in my EUC but I've used it a lot in bicycle tubes. It is not a cure-all but it will plug small holes. It stays semi-liquid inside the tire tube. If you get a thorn, the Slime will ooze out through the hole and plug it up. It will probably not work for nails or screws. You've got to take the valve core out of the stem to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
