Tubeless Tire Sealer

 

Why is it accepted that all sickle tires must leak air?

Why doesn't everyone use Goop, Slime, etc?  Such glop always worked just
fine for me on off-road sickles.

Is there a problem with heat generated in street tires?

I use slime,"Tubeless" in one of my SOBs.Never had a problem with it
but then I can't do mega speeds as they are old CX500s.

I've used it and never gave a second thought to the speed I rode, I just
rode as normal (so that's trying my hardest not to do 140mph every time I
ride).

The tyre shop didn't like the gunge when they changed the tyre though. and
I've heard that it rots aloominum, but I've never seen any evidence of that.

Slime is made from ethylene or propylene glycol, just like anti freeze and
brake fluid. Slime has some
lint in it that looks like what you get when you clean the screen on your
clothes dryer.

The glycol won't freeze, and it gives the lint a way to flow to the hole in
your tire and plug it.

We all know what products containing glycol will do to motorcycle paint jobs
and metal surfaces.

Slime is mildly corrosive. It's alkaline, with a pH of around 8.5 to 9.0.

Slime will remove the paint from the inside of your rim and then start
etching the metal.

I ruined a perfectly good rim with Slime.

I would like to find a tire sealer product made with liquid latex but without
volatile solvents to coat the inside of the tire...

So my previous successful use of slime was due to tubed tires, not tubeless.

I've seen or heard reference to a slime developed for tubeless tires.  I'll
check it out.

Will this do?
