Comments about Slime Presta Tube - 700C:
I discovered slime on the single track of West Texas where everything either has thorns, is poisonous or both but I've since converted all six of my bicycles to slime. Slime doesn't eliminate flats, but the extra weight is well worth the decrease in the number of flats. As a daily commuter, I've found that even after a flat, a slime tube can be inflated enough to "just get home". It may not hold 120 psi, but 20 psi is enough to avoid a road side change. In the winter and in the dark, its worth the extra money.

Comments about Slime Presta Tube - 700C:
Use a Slime tire on my mountain bike with no problems. Tried one on my road bike and it had a slow leak. The Slime allowed me to continue the trip, but I had to keep adding air. Eventually the stem broke. I expected more from the product.

Comments about Slime Presta Tube - 700C:
Once inflated, the slime blocks the valve so that you need to let a little air out to be able to pump them back up, but that's not a big deal. The problem is that they don't stop or seal leaks at all. I've gone through several of these and all they're good for is spraying green slime all over your bike and making a mess out of replacement. I have also had the valve stem separate from the rest of the tubes on several of these, which has never been a problem for me with any other tubes.
Bottom line, absolute garbage.
