Love Lori's pink!

Yep. She's my Baby!

Sympathies my friend, it's happened to me twice in the last few weeks.

[@brucethomas3929]

Same to you. Were you able to make the repair on the spot or did you have to take it back home?

[@ebikeengineer]

@@brucethomas3929 I use green slime inner tubes. The first was a glass puncture, I used my CO2 inflator and was able to ride home the 2 miles. I had to stop twice to top off the pressure but it worked well. The second was a major blowout on my way back from a ride. Fortunately it happened only 50 yards from home so I was able to push it back to my garage. But boy my rim's inside was a mess of green slime. I'm considering switching from Slime to Flat Out.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

You did not put enough Flat Out in......

[@brucethomas3929]

No, I probably didn't. I put in 4oz but I recall you saying that you put in 8oz.

Is an app giving you directions?

[@brucethomas3929]

Yes, it's called Komoot, designed for most forms of cycling. I can get a code for you if you'd like and I think you get a discount.

Had a flat the other day, green slime already in tyres but had been in for afew years must have dried out a bit. Tried puncture repair patch but the slime stopped that from sticking of properly and still went dow slow, got home by riding and punping up every couple of minutes. Attempted to fix again with patch but no good, In the end i topped up the slime more than i thought i would need and pumped harder than i liked and it fixed itself , been fine since. Moral of the story either dont use slime at all and patch as needed or make sure to keep slime topped up ( advice is to replace every 2 years ). I might just keep some slime on the bike for emergency top ups... Pinctures are a pita.😢

[@brucethomas3929]

That sounds like a idea. I been using Flat Out which is supposed to be good for 10 years and I still got flats. Then a friend told me that you need to put 16oz in each tire for it to be effective. No wonder I got flats, I only put in 4oz. LOL. Be safe. (Sorry I'm just getting to your comment but I just discovered it)
