Comments about Slime Lite Presta Tube - 26 x 1.7 - 2.12:

I switched to these in the hopes of avoiding flats while trail riding. Last week, on one of my first rides of the season, I got a flat when one of the seams on the inside of the tube started splitting apart. The only help from the slime was easily identifying where the problem was. I replaced it with the same type of tube, and yesterday had the same problem (different location, so not a rim issue) while riding on a paved path. I won't be buying the 'lite' tubes anymore, as they don't seem to hold up well.

Comments about Slime Lite Presta Tube - 26 x 1.7 - 2.12:

I ride very thorny trails that usually results in slow leak flats after almost every ride. After getting these, no more flats and leaks. I put them on my other bikes as well, and the same, no flats or leaks. Also, between 6 tubes (3 bikes), none have lost any air while monitoring them for a over a month. The only con is that they are a lil heavier than standard tubes but not by much.

Comments about Slime Lite Presta Tube - 26 x 1.7 - 2.12:

I thought these tubes would be the next best thing after kevlar against flats. Maybe, with kevlar tires I don't think they get much of a chance.

Their biggest downfall is that they... just... won't... hold any pressure more than 1 or 2 days. If you use these in road tires for your hybrid or mountain bike, get an air compressor too. Especially if you like to put just that little extra pressure in your tire for less rolling resistance.

Expect some green discharge from the valve when you fill it up as well.
