Hi again.
I've been googling Slime inner tubes and there seems to be a fair few mixed views on them. I want to continue cycling through out the winter months but work dictates my rides will be in the evening darkness. Also where I live some of the roads are fairly isolated and the thought of getting a flat in the middle of nowhere on a dark winter evening doesn't inspire me much to going out. So I'm thinking of fitting some Slime tubes to help ward off the dreaded puncture in the darkness of winter. The big question is though , are they any good. My riding is purely road bike stuff with a fair amount of country lanes / roads where there can be a lot of thorns laying about. Because the tubes are slightly heavier because of the slime that's inside ,does it make much difference to the ride of the bike. I appreciate that this subject has been flogged to death on forums but who better than to ask the experts here.
Many thanks .
