09 of 12Slime's self-sealing flat resistant tubes will help you have fewer flats. Period. And that's worth a lot when you are relying on your bike for transportation to work or school or wherever, or are just out on a ride and don't want to get stuck 20 miles from home.
Or, perhaps you want to check out Slime's tube sealant in a bottle, that you can use on existing untreated tubes to give them more protection from flats.
