    Just an FYI, the OZ measurements for the slime are right on the bottle. You definitely didnt use enough. :) There is also anti-puncture tape you can line the wheels with (a little extra work) that will nearly prevent all punctures

      I've used anti puncture tape and you can stab a thorn through it easily
      just buy OkO sealant 😎

    I've never had that slime work in 6 years lol
    I've tried putting in double the amount and I still get punctures,
    I'm now using oko sealant
    I've not had a puncture at all in just over 1 year😀

      I use slime in all of my tires, and have repaired multiple tires with slime and all of those still hold all their air with use, and each tire I use with slime in it that has been punctured still work and hold their air and I have not had to replace any inner tubes. Slime will not work to fix bead leaks and sidewall leaks and people get upset about that.

    I have the Solar P1 2.0, and on the Solar RUclips channel, they suggest you use 118ml, that's half the bottle, so that is what I put in my 10 inch tyres. I've seen several videos on putting slime in scooter tyres and they all use half to 2/3 of a bottle per tyre. I went with half the bottle per tyre, only because that's how much Solar suggest. Saying that I've never go riding without a foot pump and another full bottle of Slime in my backpack. 2 ounces is not enough,

    Hey Ginger on wheels, I love your vids you’re definitely a favourite but This time I doubt you actually slimed that tyre at all. I may be wrong but I didn’t see you rotate the wheel to evenly spread the slime as the instructions say you must. Not only that but you only added 1oz of slime. 2oz is actually 1/4 of the 8oz bottle.

    • @GingerOnWheels
      @GingerOnWheels  3 года назад

      I put the tire on and went for a ride after this, I figure that spreads it out. I might have been a little light on the application though, you're right I probably didn't use enough.

  • @brianr5065
    @brianr5065 Год назад

    How are you supposed to put air in the tire? After you finished putting the sealant in the tire you said to put the valve back on. Can you clarify that part. Are we just suppose to clean the excess selant that is coming out of the valve then pump air into the tires?

    • @GingerOnWheels
      @GingerOnWheels  Год назад +1

      Yes. You put the valve core back in, wipe away the excess sealant, and then re-inflate the tire to the suggested manufacturer PSI.

    Tubeless tires are a b!tch on scooters, they tend to leak between the wheel and tire even without any punctures. I took my wheel/tire off, put the green slime in, and shook it up for a while, spun it this way and that way. I was able to reduce the tiny bubbles (dunk in sink water) almost entirely, but there are still a couple spots. 😤

    • @GingerOnWheels
      @GingerOnWheels  2 года назад

      I've never had a tubeless tire that leaked like that before. Are the bubbles coming out from the side of the tire where its seated on the rim?

    The slime in my Gotrax scooter doesn't seem to do a perfect job. I pump up the tire and after rolling for a few miles it deflates a bit. I've done this 2 - 3 times and there's some black goo coming out of the rims. Can I try to replace with Slime - the brand... will it be superior? Should I just get a new tube? lol

      You can remove the 2 bolts on the side of the wheel and remove the tire completely. Then deflate it and pry it off with a flathead screwdriver.

      You can feel the tube that you're squeezing getting smaller and smaller, and when you unscrew it from the tire and let it set again you'll see there is less inside the tube.

      You forgot to remove the bottle seal under the bottle cap ... what I did was measure the weight of the bottle with a kitchen scale (19.7 oz) and then squeeze stuff in until 6oz in tire (and bottle 13.7oz on scale).

      You would just need to use the Blue Label Slime instead, which is made for tubeless (or the Black Label Slime which works for both tubed and tubeless if you're not sure). Otherwise I think the application process is the same!

    • @GingerOnWheels
      @GingerOnWheels  4 года назад

      Definitely doesn't prevent any holes on the sidewalls of the scooter as the slime tends to pool in the middle once the tire is spinning. But it's better than nothing!

    • @kenjovani
