Xiaomi M365 Tube Sealant - prevent flats!

[@ANYTHING-AND-EVERYTHING.]

As good as slime is it takes a good 30 seconds to clot the hole, by which time a small capacity tyre will probably have run flat, so still need to carry a pump.

[@ginofoogle6944]

Yeah i keep a pump precisely for that reason in a small bag just in case.

[@thecam0073]

From my decades of experience with thorns, thick tubes, tube liners, thick and thin , street, knobby, and kevlar tires I use use any tire, thin tubes, and 20-30% of the recommended amount of slime and I get giddy as I pull out a thorn, see green squirt out for up to a second, and it’s fixed... It also helps to keep the puncture at the lowest point once you notice..

[@Relaxonair]

The default m365 tyre size is 8 1/2 x 2 based on what's written on the side of the tyre. So based on these dimensions the calculator gave me 1.1 oz = 32.7 ml

[@Bergwacht]

thank you

[@YouToo...]

That's right, but must be 5 coz rims gonna hit the ground if driver is more than 85kg

[@Mibbo96]

I had to squeeze in ~100 ml to fix the punctures in my new tube, with the tube removed from the wheel. Got a flat on the first ride, but I just had to tilt the scooter to make the Slime cover the hole while I pumped it - since then it's like new, with a stable 60 PSI!

[@GordonLLC]

Don’t wait just do it now, put down your phone and just apply the slime now, two flats on my Xiaomi after 150 miles, this sealant works!

[@bilalbahrybb]

Does it works on the long term and keeps the pressure without needing to pump it everyday?

[@GordonLLC]

Bilal Bahri if you’re pumping it everyday then you might need to switch the tires to solid tires, the weight capacity was a problem with my scooter, the slime worked for a few weeks and the I just switched all the tires to solid tires. It’s about $25 per tire and $30ish for installation at a local tire shop

[@UnknownPersononGoogle]

I’ve had one flat tire and I’m on 801 miles now.

[@GordonLLC]

@@UnknownPersononGoogle I switched to solid tires after my third flat, best decision ever and I gained 1mph speed

[@kigna1234]

The slime bottle has a tube in it to use instead of the syringe u used not sure why it wasn’t on your bottle

[@GaryMeatsLife]

I used a food injector purchased from Amazon. Good idea there. Worth mentioning that the first one went in no problem, but the second attempt was harder, because the syringe hole became clogged and ended up with me spilling slime on the counter-top and wheel. After a quick clean, I managed to put slime into the second tube. Hoping it does what it's supposed to, as I have changed two tubes and both were painful jobs.

[@GaryMeatsLife]

@@kroppotheclown6288 Well I hope you had some Kleenex left over to dry your cheek.

[@DanielMatotek]

Can you do this without a puncture? As in to put the slime in there to prevent the flat from happening?

[@XxSergitoWxX]

Of course, it works for prevention and to repair

[@ps3customgamer]

I think you made it harder for yourself using a syringe vs just the bottle since air can leave the tire after you squeeze the bottle so you’re not dealing with pressure.

[@ProPrince]

I can’t seem to get grip on the valve core to remove it

[@jonah7762]

Same and now it won’t fit as it’s rounded off this is fucking rubbish

[@davidbolha]

I just used a flat tip tweezer.

[@rannewamma]

I sadly was a slave to the hype - videos as this. I bought this stuff and put it in my tires. Long story short: it did not help me at all. The punctures that I had were all small, so the slime should have taken care of them - well, it didn't. What it did though, was to make the tire change super messy. I bought a better - more thicker - inner tube, and it solved my problem. Now I can drive on any surface without thinking about a puncture. Of course it can happen, but so far so good. There used to be a puncture every month or so driving on gravel and such, now 5 months strong without any holes. Call it luck if you want, I call it better inner tubes. I still have some slime left, I think I will throw it away. It is snake oil to me.

[@FrederikStijnen]

Which brand of inner tube did you buy? I just got a flat tire and I don't really feel like buying solid tires, using green slime or changing my tires every month.

[@eddiefriedman1274]

Can you please provide a link to the inner tube you bought...... thanks in advance!!

[@denishuber7758]

i would not drive the scoooter offroads....i think its just not build for this....and it pretty much reduces the chances of puncture to an minimum

[@Kknderbueno]

Is sealant like this made for tubed tires? I thought it was mostly for tubeless tires, but I could be wrong.

[@denishuber7758]

@@Kknderbueno yeah i also think its mostly for tubeless mtb tyre setups...punctures you get on this small tires are to small to be sealed

[@ducksgoquackirl92]

your incorrect about the amount recomended, Slime say this 2 oz = 60.3 ml per tube

[@csabbi]

The first thing I did when I have bought my scooter. Still ended up with a flat tire. Same product, amount and also went for a ride...

[@sonnywolf383]

So should I do it ? will you recommended?

[@cubiq1]

A owner of a bicycle shop told me it wouldn't because there isn't enough air in the scooter tire to properly "push" the Slime out and seal the puncture :/

[@A-Viking]

@@cubiq1 maybe carry a batterypowered pump in your backpack for the first few days so the airissue is resolved, also a owner of a place that gets revenue from fixing flats isnt exactly going to be promoting this kindof stuff, they get less fix-my-tire customers and when/if they finally come its messy for them to fix the tire. Still what that guy said could be more true of other similar products, I saw a video comparison review of 3 or 4 of these products and some of them were really crappy but slime came out well, it wasnt scooter tires though ergo Id carry a pump too.

[@asiandriverNZ]

Would you recommend I just wait until I get a flat before putting slime in? I hear slime slows you down

[@CBlocks]

Better safe than sorry

[@NazmulHossainTauhid]

I poured excessive liquid, now air leaks from valve. I replaced valve but no luck . Do you have any solution?

[@craigwflys]

I've seen many videos on this exact same subject however you are the only one who probably got the correct amount to add. Most videos tell to add 4oz or more and don't mention to immediately go for a ride afterwards to evenly distribute the Slime. What do you think about using tire liners as an alternative option?

[@yeer31]

Liners would be the way to go if you can find them for the 8” wheels. I couldn’t and ended up using the same sealant product as Doug. However, in my case, it didn’t work and I ended up with subsequent slow punctures. I’m certain it’s the poor quality inner tubes that came with the scooter as the punctures, were more as a result of abrasion rather than from sharp objects penetrating the inner tube. I ended up giving in and getting a solid front tyre. Then I sold the Xiaomi as, without pneumatic tyre, the ride is so harsh it aggravated my knee injuries.

[@DougHnut]

I usually coat my tube with talcum power or baby powder to avoid abrasion. and i agree with you, the solid tyres are not good, maybe the hollow ones are but im not willing to try at this moment

[@DougHnut]

good idea on the liners, i will order some for the next time i take the tire off. which is just about worn out

[@craigwflys]

My Xiaomi is the US version and a couple of weeks ago I rode through some thorns (got some on both front & back). Luckily I only had one puncture on the rear. The quality of the inner tube in the rear looked decent. They probably don't make any 8" liners but I'm sure that you can just cut them down to size and then use some electrical tape to keep them together. I read somewhere that someone used liners made by Mr Tuffy. Slime seems like it could easily throw off the tires balance plus by putting way too much in might reduce the motors power due to the extra weight.

[@yeer31]

Hi Doug, first of all, keep up the good work, your channel was a real source of info on Xiaomi scooter issues and mods when I still had my scoot. Before I sold my scooter, I had changed it to the solid tyre with the holes in it, thinking that it would be more pliant. Unfortunately, it isn't. They're a pain to put on (I paid for mine to be done) and just as much to remove. Which is the reason why I sold mine. Might get another one later but if I do, I'll be looking to get better inner tubes and maybe even one of the 'puncture proof' tyres. Typically they're sold as CST or Rhino tyres on the chinese ecommerce sites. Have not seen many reviews of these but they look promising.

[@kentcyclist]

Would it harm the innertube if you just put the whole bottle in I don’t think so

[@johnyseen8291]

hahaha

[@NPALEZ]

I used some, it worked for like 2 weeks and then the tire went flat. Turns out the goo I used had actually melted and damaged the inside of the tire causing it to rub against the tube and make a bigger hole. I'd learn how to change the tire. Microwaving the tire for a few minutes and lube makes the process a heck of a lot easier.

[@2icelollys1goat]

This so called heating of the tyre in the microwave can't be done for the front tyre, I presume??

[@kushkoligaf]

It also produces toxic fumes.

[@pudgeezudgee2309]

@@2icelollys1goat maybe do some reseach and see what does micrwaves does to rubber if it does no damage then you are good.

[@gergelyvarszegi4395]

Have done that, just under a minute the tyre started to smoke, and by the time I have managed to swithc it off, the sidewall melted. Has been in the oven for 1 minute and 6 seconds, and ruined completely. I have boiled the next one for a minute, and managed to fit it, it became mutch softer while warm...and use some dish soap as a lube.

[@Sayin42]

Which brand did you use and did you take the scooter for an immediate ride once the slime had been inserted?

[@DENSUTUBE2008]

I have the same air pump. What psi on the pump gauge do you put in as the pressure gauge doesnt read correct (usually reads higher than actual psi) . Just curious to the gauge reading you go with.

[@kathleengrant]

Didn't work slime just came gushing out once back on the road??????

[@cubiq1]

Does this actually work? The guy at the bike shop said it wouldn't because there isn't enough air in the scooter tire to properly "push" the Slime out and seal the puncture.

[@honeybadger9425]

The guy in the shop would say that so you spend money in his shop. It dose help. If you simply carry a pump all you have to do is add a bit more air to clog it if it did not work straight away.

[@honeybadger9425]

@@cubiq1 Its up to you bud in my opinion he wants to charge labour for fitting the inner tubes for you.

[@dummkompf]

worked for me when I put it in already punctured tires. Maybe because I was pumping them up after putting in the slime, so I had an endless amount of air volume to push it out. It was not a permanent fix but it allowed me to keep air in the tires and ride without having to replace the tubes. They do still seem to leak very slowly but it lasted for a couple weeks

how often do you inflate your tires? Once a day, once a week...?

[@DougHnut]

aragorn318 about once a month. I'll check about every week by squeezing the tire by hand

[@aragorn318]

I found that I've had to inflate them more often in colder weather. I remember having to inflate every 3 days in temps around 35 degrees F. But not sure if that was also b/c I might have had some very slow air leak in the tube

[@DougHnut]

aragorn318 sounds like you have a slow leak. Slime might be able to fix that permenatly

is this going to slow down my scooter and drain more battery ??? I put slime in my front tire and since then my scooter has been draining battery so much faster.

[@Professor_Bugs]

Make shure you have enough air pressure in the tire. Around 2.8 -3.4 bar (Edit: psi to bar). is recommended for my scooter. The most "fuel efficient" way is to be closer to 3.4 (Check what your manufacturer says about air pressure)

[@manFromPeterborough]

Have the same inflator they work great. What PSI did you put it too. Look high on the guage.

[@DougHnut]

i set it to 60psi, but by the time i get that adapter off, it probably drops to 50-55psi

[@denishuber7758]

nice video...but you forgot to shake up the bottle to mix those micro fibers in the slime...so they do the job better and seal up an puncture

[@TheLubTor]

Why not use tube included with Slime ? its easy

[@DougHnut]

Lubtor I don't think slime makes a tube that small

[@yeer31]

There should be one taped to the bottle, it’s only taped so it might have come off the bottle you bought. Either that or they don’t include them in US bottles, which is unlikely.

[@DougHnut]

i misread what he said, yes mine came with the tube, but i used the injector to measure and inject the small amount of slime i needed, which is difficult to judge based on the marking on the side of the bottle
