Stevebee Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I’m planning on changing my tyre on the V11. It has been filled with Slime and never punctured. Is it ok to reuse the tube with the new tyre. Any possible issues in getting tyre off etc..? Or should I order a new tube, I have more bottles of Slime so could use on the new tube if that is 5he best option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizra6ot Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 It's ok, just when the motor is out think to let it rest for about 30 seconds a minute valve up to have only a micro drop of slime out so you don't have to clean and refill 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise a lot of Slime may spew out. By keeping the valve stem at the highest point and let the Slime slide down to the bottom inside the inner tube, you can then let the air out without leaking out a lot of the Slime. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevebee Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 Was tempted to get the tyre change done by my Dealer but leaning more to having a go myself now. I’ve changed dozens of bicycle tyre before - it’s just the electronic side is a bit of an unknown but I’ll follow @mrelwood guide as it’s also a V11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
