OK, a question was raised at dinner with a couple guys I ride with, we all use Dyan Beads and one of my guys had a puncture last week and used a can of slime...he has/had dyan beads in, will that affect the balance of his wheel?
I am not too familiar with Green Slime (Green fix-a-flat), he said it remains in liquig form?? Is this true?

Doesn't matter. Dyna beads says tire sealant will make the beads clump. Clumping beads means the tire will not be balanced. In addition, slime is not compatible with aluminum wheels.

Why not use RIDE-ON and get sealing and balancing out of one bottle? I've used it for years, wouldn't ride without it.

Not only that, Slime is only a temporary fix, like till you can get it to a repair shop today. Leave it in to long, and it will start to leak again.
It did it's job, it got you back on the road, now it has to be fully cleaned and the tire repaired.

Make sure he lets the tire shop know before they tear into the tire. Most have a healthy cleanup fee if you suprise them with that stuff.

from slime site •I’ve heard that Slime will ruin my rims? Our Slime Sealant for tubeless tires is formulated with rust and corrosion inhibitors as well as a pH buffer making the product more alkaline. All of these ingredients work to protect the integrity of your rim. It is important to note there are factors which can allow damage to occur in spite of this. If you want to err on the side of caution, you can use Slime as a roadside repair. All you need is Slime and an air compressor! Slime can have an adverse affect on certain types of aluminum rims. Because alloys differ, it is difficult to predict how Slime will react with your rims specifically. Over the years, though, we have found that older rims are more susceptible to damage from Slime. Make sure that, if you have tubeless tires, you are using our tubeless formula. Our inner tube formula does not contain rust and corrosion inhibitors. Do not leave Slime inside your tires for more than 2 years. After that time, we cannot guarantee the integrity of your rims. If pre-existing damage is present, we do not recommend using Slime. http://www.slime.com/category/faqs/ |

If pre-existing damage is present, we do not recommend using Slime. http://www.slime.com/category/faqs/Though Ride-on claims not to damage aluminum rims, I suggest (based on bad experience) that under certain conditions Ride-on can also damage rims. If you want to err on the side of caution, coat the interior surfaces of your rims or don't leave Ride-on, Slime or any of the other flat sealants in your tires for long periods. This has been discussed here before and recently with a representative of Ride-on, who can't explain why my rim was corroded with their product in the tire. I got no offers to replace the rim, just a friendly conversation which accomplished nothing. So the bottom line is, if your rims are damaged, you are out the rim. Ride-on will sound very concerned and incredulous but they offer nothing other than vague mention of possible interactions with tire mount lube. Did you completely remove the tire mount lube? Is that even possible? But the tire mount lube also claims to be non-corrosive....tsk, tsk. I will coat the inner surfaces before I use any of it again, replacing rims every time i replace tires is too much to pay for avoiding flats. |
