Hi Guys----RATTLEBATTLE yes, from personal experiences I can confirm most indubitably Sirah that both Gloop and Slime DO work in tubed tyres ! You ask my Joyce as it was she who was sat over the 500cc Bullet's rear wheel when "Phutttt" we had a puncture just in front of the whole Ensemble at The Raven, Prees Heath, Whitchurch.........Some Slime was applied in accordance with the instructions and then the tyre pumped and rotated............"All aboard" and 10 miles down the road we stopped to check things over....NO PROBS !!...........and it was still operating normally a month or so later when the tyre was re-newed...Others in our group can testify to similar experiences during recent times.....

Slime works until is doesn't. I will never put it in before a puncture again as it keeps sealing until the holes all join up and you only find out when if goes flat. Spray cans work maybe every other time if new. I rode from the rough end of Bulgaria on a mushroom plugged tubeless and then commuted on it for 4 months, they are a far superior fix. I used to be able to put a tube in a Bonneville in about ten minutes, but thats TT tyres properly lubed on assembly. TL fresh and unlubed from the factory will need a bead breaker for sure maybe even the hacksaw.
