not necessarily with slime, just ones that don't go flat within a few days. going on e-bike with standard tires (1.5 x 26"?) thanks |

If they go flat in a few days, you might have a thorn in the tire. Take the tube out, run your hand inside of that tire, and feel for anything sharp. Careful not to cut you hand, though. Tubes should hold air for months. Buy from a bike shop, not Walmart or Amazon, by the way. |
Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand, Paul Bhranfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933, Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics...

I use the Flat-Out sealant for everything. It didn't used to have instructions for bikes but it really works, I see lots of videos with it for bikes now. edit: mower, utv, garden cart, dolly tires too |

Yeah, check your tires. I had a leak on my wife's tire, it was just dry rotted at the seam. Got a new tire and tube. Tubeless are nice, but I suck at plugging them. We carry a spare tube or two, levers, and a couple of CO2 inflator for fast fixes. We still have small bike pumps and a full size with our small trailer. We've been abusing the shit out of our bikes on this trip. No flats yet! ROCK6 |
