An excellent video. I saved myself about $50 using only one can of slime, fixing 8 tires all with many punctures (we ran over 'puncture vine' or dry spiky goatheads). Shrader valves are dead easy but 6 of the punctures were on tubes with presta valves. The only difficult part is getting the screw pin to come back into the valve housing (4:35 on the video). One tube was so stubborn that the pin would not come back through the valve housing no matter how hard I tried. If you get into this situation, then as a last resort and this worked for me, is to poke an unfurled paper clip through the tube (thereby giving an extra puncture, which the slime will eventually seal) and push the pin back up into the housing.

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

thank you sir I am glad that you saved some bucks. yes Schrader valves are dead easy but Presta valves they are really tricky especially with the pin once it goes into the tube it's really hard to get it back so you see that's why I had to take the wheel off to make my process a lot easier as a lot of people did not understand why I had to take the whole wheel of the bike

[@RonnieHearren]

A lot of my friends who ride talk smack about slime, but I'm a big guy even after losing weight. I had a problem last night about a half a mile from home and the tube sealed up without refilling. I was able to make it home. Hell if Slime sponsored me in the MS150 I would ride their bike with pride! Their product works and has gotten me out of several jams. Slime is also great for ATV's and cars and trucks!

[@Moshebenyair]

Thank you pal. I am throwing so many tubes lately and your video is going to save me a lot of headaches. I already have three punctured tubes which i did not throw away as i thought, god , there must be a way to fix it ! Thanks again !!!

[@Moshebenyair]

By the way, in all of my tubes i can unscrew the inner valve completely and easily so this is another tip: to verify that the tube you buy has a valve that can be unscrewed

[@tibbar1000]

Great video. I made a mistake by forgetting to shake the slime. A chunk of snot got stuck in the valve stem. I blew it out and then had to find the core in the tube and work it back to the stem. I ended up putting more slime in than I needed(to make sure I got plenty of clotting factor after shaking the bottle), but it works great.

[@salsalawyer]

Just get removable valve core tubes. Remove them, put the Slime through the stem, replace the core. Pump the tubes and done. It's much easier now!

[@johnbravo7542]

Yeah,I agree,he should have bought new tubes with removable presta valves,and used his original as spares,but I guess he just wanted to show it is possible with non removable presta valves.

[@salsalawyer]

@Saul Otis did your girlfriend have pictures of bicycle tires?

[@bryanutility9609]

What about pressurizing your tires as they naturally deflate over time once the slime is in? I have to pressurize my road tires 1x/week. Slime comes out the presta when I attempt

[@juanmvargas644]

Thanks bro I had forgotten how but your method worked perfectly

[@richrunner4life1]

You just saved me a bit of money !

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

I am chuffed 😊

[@ephy1973]

I told my kid to make a small puncture in his tire, add slime and then patch.

[@bryanutility9609]

Did this weeks ago, but now I need more air. When I open valve slime comes out. How can I inflate pressure with this after initial use? Nobody talks about this.

[@bartsimpsonsonson]

I use a spring loaded clothespin to clamp the valve core in place after pushing it inside the tube instead of holding it in place with my hand, allowing 2 hands to deal with the fill operation. Good explanation otherwise though.

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

Thanks.

[@johne7100]

Hope you got the sealant out of the carpet.

[@Jxnxdoe]

I did this with a bell 700 tube and the valve is tapered at the end and is NOT meant to be removed! I ended up snapping the the valve.

[@mikediskin3090]

Why did you take the tire off. Try it, it works with it in place

[@jamiefalzon6644]

great video man. good work.

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

Thank you sir

[@jedirabbit6275]

I brought a tube of slime just to have on me when out on the bike… seems like I need a tool box too! Thought it would be more easy than this, may be easier to have a spare inner tube.

[@juancoca9620]

The idea behind using slime is that you prefill your tubes with it. Really saves you from having to do any field replacements. In most situations, the slime will “direct” itself to the puncture and instantly seal it using microbeads with the existing psi. It does this instantly.

[@robertojuarez1009]

that's very helpful thank you brother

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

You welcome.

[@freddiesudolsky6221]

Tie a bit of string to the pin so its easier to get it out

[@Fly4aWhiteGuy]

The tring might get in the way.

[@p3tr0114]

You can also use a Presta to Schrader adapter. It might be easier.

[@zekesundown2397]

I did it your way and then realized all I had to do was remove the entire core and I could have just left the tube in the tire on the bike capich thanks any way.

[@tomfiechter5073]

zeke sundown i

[@Fly4aWhiteGuy]

Not all are removable.

[@ammerudgrenda]

I think Presta valves are not removable.

[@raidersperez1278]

Oh yeah that back and forth action. And then squeezing till All the goo comes out

[@SirFlextington]

there are 2 flattened sides on the valve assembly ( the piece the valve cover screws on.) Why not just unscrew the entire valve assembly and you won't have to worry about dropping the valve pin in the tube?

[@brendaleetv]

Yeah sometimes the box dosent say if it has an uncrew valve. The only way to find out is to look at the valve, of which sometimes the tube is wrapped in plastic and once you open it, you have to buy it.

[@stefanbanev]

It's a strange way... in fact, from my experience, there is no need to dismantle the tube and unscrew the secure-tip. Just deflated the tire and since there is no internal air pressure and Presta valve has no spring the sealant liquid gets inside easily with no resistance, you may rotate the wheel 45...90 degree to give more room for liquid to flow down. I did it many times with all my road bikes, it takes couple minutes to execute. Pls let me know what may be wrong with such straightforward way to put sealant liquid inside the tube.

[@Eddi3Pwns]

I know this video is old, but I don't think newer versions of slime (that have tiny bits of shredded tire) would be able to fit through, the valve core would be in the way. I just saw other videos like this one and they do the exact same process. The whole tire does not need to be disassembled though from the wheel, nor be removed from the bike either if you elevate it; it'd be easier to remove part of the tire enough to reach the inner tube, clamp the pin, and add slime.

[@crabtrap]

@@Eddi3Pwns i don't think bike tube slime has the tiny rubber chunks, as tube tire develop pin hole or pich flats 95% of the time. slime bike tube is almost pure 'green stuff' with perhaps micro particles far smaller then the presta valve gaps

[@IcyUuUu]

💯💯

[@TheXDsunny]

Hey dude, I recently bought the exact same bike as you. Just wondering what's the difference between this slime bottle and the other products? For instance I have noticed there's one where slime is already pre-filled, and you get another tube? A little confused as this is all new to me. Should I just stick to your method and fill it in? Thanks, keep up the great work!

[@TheXDsunny]

Just noticed you just done a video on this exact topic lol, so is it effective? how have you been getting on with it.

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

+TheXDsunny yes I've done another video on this topic exactly let me tell you the easy way to do it is to buy a pre filled tube with slime in it so buy slime smart tube. and so far it is going well I had no any issues with it so far thanks for watching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZy5goiXrqtlm8U

[@Daner949]

What a nightmare, I’m hoping I can replace my Presa tube with a normal valve. What are the benefits of a Pressa valve?

[@mattspen]

This type is a nightmare, there is a type with a removable core (like Schrader) making it way easier. Benefits: Presta can thread to the rim and reduce pinch flats. (Some Schrader are threaded, rarely) Presta can more easily have air pressure lowered depending on terrain although low can cause flats, but not so with tubeless which is by far my preferred setup

[@johnnyferniz3938]

How much slime do you put on a roadbike tire? The instruction 4oz is for mtb tire I guess..

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

Well my tyre's are 700c× 28 which is almost as road bike so i personally put in half of the slime in to one tyre, and the rest on the other tyre basically 50/50

[@dwaynebradford1055]

presta valves continental u can use some pliers and screw the whole top bit off.......

[@ellstackeradventures]

Thanks

[@cfcdaviddcfc]

if you're going through all that trouble just to put slime in it you'd be better to just patch it or change the tube altogether , the idea of slime is to fix the punture without removing the wheel from the bike

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

Yes I am going through all this trouble not to fix a puncture! As the title states how to put slime in to presta valves. Which in this case it is not with removal core. Not pre filled inner tube with slime. Hope these clears any misconception.

[@andyand100]

Talcum powder inside tyre stops inner tube creeping

[@tcooper7289]

best way is if theyd stop making the presta valve and just use strictly shrader. presta valve is useless

[@colbyquinn21]

And how is that? Some people like to change there pressures on the fly. The priests makes that a lot easier.

[@tcooper7289]

+Colby Quinn. Ive let air out of my Schrader valves plenty of times because ive over filled them. just push it down with my finger or use my keys

[@colbyquinn21]

+Tim Cooper that's a little harder to do when you're on the trails and have winter gloves on. The whole purpose of presta valves is ease of access and being able to manipulate pressure on the fly.

[@tcooper7289]

?? You put the pump on lock the thing and pump. No shit to twist or turn to the right spot and then still inflate it as you would a shrader so its even more work then a shrader valve to inflate?

[@ThePumpkinToad]

Not really sure why he had to remove the tube to do that.. am I missing something?

[@Justlistenflows]

How you gonna get the pin back out if the tube is in the tyre?

[@servan79]

+Just Listen i am thinking of using a thin rope to release and get back that pin haven't tried though...

[@Justlistenflows]

Let me know if it works :+)

[@brentonasmith]

To enable the ability to hold the pin

Very detailed oriented. I learned something new thanks to you. Keep up the good work.

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

George Gilles Thanks i am glad my videos helped you learn something new

[@stackedhippiechick]

Why didn't you remove the entire valve core, fill it then reinstall valve core? That way the slime goes right into the tube via the unobstructed stem, blow through the stem to clear the stem, then reinstall the entire valve core?

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

Unfortunately the valve core is not removable so that's why I had to take out the tire and the tube then push back the pin which is in the presta valve in order to put the slime in. that's the only way you can do it there is no other way. thanks for stepping by

[@armanrivera4116]

if you look at the front label, it clearly says not for presta valve.. any ideas why?

[@Youtube_deleted_my_favourites]

how does the slime stay runnny in the inner tube - I bet its not for long before it becomes useless

[@kyriakoschristofides7563]

2 or more years

[@58heriberto]

Thank you for your video..! Please tell me. Does the slime works? Have you had any trouble?

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

Sorry for the late response the slime indeed it does work since I got my bicycle it's been now over a year so far I only had ones puncture and it was a deep cut but I managed to get home and the fix it properly.

[@c0nr4d]

How often would you refill the tube?

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

Once you fill it up it will stay with you long time. But keep in mind every time you pump the tire for air it might spray out so you need to be careful. Over all mine stayed over 2 years

[@yorkshiremgtow1773]

[@jameskolar9655]

Why not use a valve core remover?

[@bd8677]

Presta valves come in 2 flavors, what you saw in video and also removable core.

[@mntbiker036]

I just buy the tubes with slime in them!!!!

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

indeed you are right. I did that after this video.. check out my other video

[@jimstewart630]

Not all tyre sizes are provided by slime inner tubes, hence im watching this

[@mariaespinoza363]

Puedo usarlo en una bicicleta nueva

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

Sì

[@gentlestormtoo]

Why would you put slim in your air chamber in the first place?

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

You put a slime in your air chambers or tube incase of any puncture occurs while you are out and about so that will patch it or seal the escaping air quickly.

[@felipemoreira436]

I ruined 2 tubes trying this method 😂 the slime didn’t go in for sh*t 😖

[@whatyoudo9773]

uesfull part of vid starts at 2:21

[@aydansterling]

If only I had such luck. For some stupid reason my tube is holding pressure, nothing going and nothing going out. Valve is completely disassembled...

[@geralddavis7401]

Huh? Use an inner tube with a removable valve core, obviously.

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

Gerald Davis obviously not with this tube!

[@pound4pound740]

To me. Slim works but if its a big ass cut then it wont work

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

Pre much I agree with what you said of the cut its too big nothing will safe you. Slime will really work when you have small punctures then it will seal it. That way you will reach your desired destination.

[@souravbhattacharyya3392]

What was the need to take out the tube?

[@dylanbradley6213]

Good way to puncher the tube having the valve been hold inside the tube

[@CmwSpeedrunUk]

Great mate didn’t have to remove inner tho

[@davezubi1304]

My pin does not go all the way down.

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

It is harder than it looks. Better thing to do is get a tube with removable core. Then it is a lot easier to top it up with slim.

[@mikeylodeon.7326]

use a core remover. easy!

[@littlegoobie]

some don't come off. actually, most presta cores do NOT come out these days.

[@dalecannon6769]

Carry spare tubes,end of discussion!!!!

[@magnuspipes1601]

Presta valves are the most pretentious and pointless shit ever invented. Pain in the ass.

[@650GSF]

why did you take the wheel off and the tube out off the tyre, the tube on the side of the bottle is so you can do it with the wheel on the bike :) you made life way to hard for your self.

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

I took the wheel off to make my process easier to get of the tube as the valves are presta not easy like shredder. When you try it for your self then you will understand why.

[@kloun13]

I did it without taking a wheel off. It's pretty simple since when you take tire off, you will have very flexible tube which can be banded in all possible ways. Good luck!

[@TheDajoca]

How do you keep hold of the valve stem inside, if it's on the bike?

[@king-nick2023]

Great video however you wasted a lot of time. lol get to the point. Thanks again

[@Justlistenflows]

You didn't show how you got the pin or if the valve! That's the bit I can't do its just stuck inside the valve

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

hi there I am sorry that your pin is stuck inside but if you look carefully starting at 03:00 to 03:20 where I push the pin back in to the tube and then look at 04:40 where I got the pin back out. wish you the best

[@versatileduplicity9313]

Does it stay a liquid or not !!? What is wrong with you people !!? Nobody could give me a simple answer !! Does it harden under 2 years or stays a liquid after you put it in !!!????

[@randygoldberg3932]

WARNING My Giant Anthem $3500 bike came with super crap MAXXIM tubes. They went flat after two rides over rough terrain. Disgusting oversight from the Giant bike company. I have changed the tubes to pre-filled Slime smart tubes. They are much better quality. If they don't hold then the next step will be thick downhill tubes.

[@jhonatanjk1251]

How did it go with the pre-filled smart tubes? I want to buy them because my tubes are pretty shitty too but I'm not sure if they're worth it

[@randygoldberg3932]

They are fantastic. Had them for 14 months and no punctures.

[@Aiajsfevebw]

Cap didnt work

[@raekolc2788]

what a waste of time,if you have to take the inner tube off just put a new one on or repair the puncture rather that mess about with the value and fill it with heavy slime.

[@THEITALIANSTALLION1]

That is not a waste of time at all too me. Infact this inner tube is new, no puncture at all. It is for prevention purpose i put the slime . And for taking it out is to make my process easier as presta valves there is no way you can fill them slime with out taking of the inner tube.

[@GlitchLXIV]

Shitty presta valves. Schrader valves are so much better.

[@bretmohler9719]

except on rim widths where a hole the size of a schrader would leave too little material to be structural.. they make presta vales with removable valve cores so you dont have to use this method.. but they are a bit harder to source out. or just buy a slime filled tube if this process seems complex

[@fredsmith7291]

Agree, Glitch. Schrader is a better system (and to think it was invented over 100 years ago!) Not sure why someone doesn't come out with a "thin Schrader valve". Could call it a Schesta!

[@n9nrc810]

Presta valves are totally useless

[@crabtrap]

not true. presta valves hold 100+psi MUCH better then sscharder valvew and they are lighter too.
