Do those "self-sealing" inner tubes work ?

Some swear by them, other swear at them.

When putting on new tubes, worth going to the trouble to get them ?

Any thoughts on would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Do you live in an area with lots of puncture vine thorns, broken glass,
etc where you will be riding? *Otherwise, flats are not that common,
assuming that you are not using racing tires with relatively thin and
fragile casings and tread.

Hi there.

Carl Fogel has posted many links to images of Slime tubes that got him
home even though they had a puncture usually from a goathead thorn. So
yes, based on his experiences I'd say it works.

I like the idea of a self-sealing tube preventing a flat that would
inconvenience a whole group or riders on a club ride if they had to
wait for the tube to be changed or repaired.
