- Lots of people get flats on their scooters that leave them stranded! In this video I tried my best to explain how to use the Slime (red label, for tubed tires) product in your scooter tires. Using this product you can prevent punctures in the treaded area of your tires up to 1/8th of an inch.
Just an FYI, the OZ measurements for the slime are right on the bottle. You definitely didnt use enough. :) There is also anti-puncture tape you can line the wheels with (a little extra work) that will nearly prevent all punctures
I've used anti puncture tape and you can stab a thorn through it easily
just buy OkO sealant 😎
i got very similar model called tomini h10. thanks for the video! didnt know what they meant by taking inner part off
I’m using this thing already for u years!!! Very helpful
I fixed my rear tire leaking air on my hiboy titan anfter a week of having it. Ordered a solid tire for whenever it finally takes a crap on me. Can you do a rear wheel motor and tire removal video?
The slime in my Gotrax scooter doesn't seem to do a perfect job. I pump up the tire and after rolling for a few miles it deflates a bit. I've done this 2 - 3 times and there's some black goo coming out of the rims. Can I try to replace with Slime - the brand... will it be superior? Should I just get a new tube? lol
So let me get this straight cus iv been confused for awhile. Use the red label slime for my tubeless tyre?
Hey man, good video👍. I have a Solar P1 2.0 looks similar to yours, where did you get that grip tape from? Thanks
use OkO sealant
slime don't work
Are those tubless tires?
I just bought an Apollo Ghost. Will be receiving it Saturday. I bought the armor-dilloz bc of its reviews. But my question is should I use the armor-dilloz right away? Before I even ride it?
That's what I would do.
Is this a tubless tyre?
Question ? How long does your scooter battery last
How would I open this and change tyre ? Do u have a video also how was the slime any issues ?
You can remove the 2 bolts on the side of the wheel and remove the tire completely. Then deflate it and pry it off with a flathead screwdriver.
I've never had issues with slime, no.
I have the Solar P1 2.0, and on the Solar UA-cam channel, they suggest you use 118ml, that's half the bottle, so that is what I put in my 10 inch tyres. I've seen several videos on putting slime in scooter tyres and they all use half to 2/3 of a bottle per tyre. I went with half the bottle per tyre, only because that's how much Solar suggest. Saying that I've never go riding without a foot pump and another full bottle of Slime in my backpack. 2 ounces is not enough,
I've never had that slime work in 6 years lol
I've tried putting in double the amount and I still get punctures,
I'm now using oko sealant
I've not had a puncture at all in just over 1 year😀
I use slime in all of my tires, and have repaired multiple tires with slime and all of those still hold all their air with use, and each tire I use with slime in it that has been punctured still work and hold their air and I have not had to replace any inner tubes. Slime will not work to fix bead leaks and sidewall leaks and people get upset about that.
God tip 👍
Where can i find that little tool to help unscrew and screw in the tire stem?
Its on the slime cap
@@BIGDeZeL6 To be more exact that little tool is actually inside that cap. If your tool is messed up the tool should be found at bicycle shops and should be the same tool found at tire sales shops. The plastic tool is the same dimensions as the better metal tools.
idk what the diference is between inner tube slime or pneumatic tyre slime
if anyone does, please do tell
Hey Ginger on wheels, I love your vids you’re definitely a favourite but This time I doubt you actually slimed that tyre at all. I may be wrong but I didn’t see you rotate the wheel to evenly spread the slime as the instructions say you must. Not only that but you only added 1oz of slime. 2oz is actually 1/4 of the 8oz bottle.
I put the tire on and went for a ride after this, I figure that spreads it out. I might have been a little light on the application though, you're right I probably didn't use enough.
How are you supposed to put air in the tire? After you finished putting the sealant in the tire you said to put the valve back on. Can you clarify that part. Are we just suppose to clean the excess selant that is coming out of the valve then pump air into the tires?
Yes. You put the valve core back in, wipe away the excess sealant, and then re-inflate the tire to the suggested manufacturer PSI.
@@GingerOnWheels thank you
Can slime be used in tubeless tyres... happy new year Mr g wheels
Yes. They make slime especially for tubeless tires. Just make sure to read the label and get the right tube.
How are you ?
Does the slime work ? Did you have any issues ?
No issues for me. Seems to work.
Is your tyre tubeless
Have not bought scooter yet. Hear about flats. Would it just make sense to use this with new scooter? Avoid the headaches?
I've done it with every scooter I've bought. I've also never had a flat tire. Not sure if I'm just lucky or what, but take that for what it is.
So when I get my pro it’s best to use this slime to be safe from punctures?
That's what I would do.
Ginger On Wheels thanks
can you put air in tire with valve core?
Yeah the core only needs to come out when you put the sealant in.
Should I use the slime as soon I unbox my scooter?
Yes. I'd recommend it.
slime name and can I buy it on Amazon
A thinking man, puts the towel down, smart move.
🤣
Can you use it for inner tube tires too ?
I used this product to seal a puncture on my fat tire bike with an inner tube. It stayed sealed permanently so far. 2200 miles later.
it is designed for use on inner tubes and tubeless, just get the right product as Slime sells different versions for tube and tubeless tires.
@@TheKevinP there are two varieties of slime. You can get the tire sealant or you can get the inner tube sealant.
doesn't work buy OkO sealant 😎
I believe you were supposed to turn the wheel manually before inflating. I believe
Are you a member of the Nanrobot scooter club on Facebook? If not you should join. 😄👍
How long since you had to change it?
I haven't
@@GingerOnWheels wow, it's been 3 years now then
@@kurukiddo This Nanrobot broke down entirely in a couple of months and I returned it. 😅
How u go about if it's tubeless
You would just need to use the Blue Label Slime instead, which is made for tubeless (or the Black Label Slime which works for both tubed and tubeless if you're not sure). Otherwise I think the application process is the same!
I’m trying to figure out if the slime is going into the tube because I don’t see it moving. How Do I know the slime is entering the tube ?
You can feel the tube that you're squeezing getting smaller and smaller, and when you unscrew it from the tire and let it set again you'll see there is less inside the tube.
You forgot to remove the bottle seal under the bottle cap ... what I did was measure the weight of the bottle with a kitchen scale (19.7 oz) and then squeeze stuff in until 6oz in tire (and bottle 13.7oz on scale).
Tubeless tires are a b!tch on scooters, they tend to leak between the wheel and tire even without any punctures. I took my wheel/tire off, put the green slime in, and shook it up for a while, spun it this way and that way. I was able to reduce the tiny bubbles (dunk in sink water) almost entirely, but there are still a couple spots. 😤
I've never had a tubeless tire that leaked like that before. Are the bubbles coming out from the side of the tire where its seated on the rim?
so next time u wont be able to take the valve off after you screwed the valve back in i see lots of slime still on the valve coming out lol....once it dries up will stick the valve very tight ...
I thought this is used after a puncture, this slime acts as a kind of plaster temporary, of course
Pressure should start at 28 psi and the increase by 2 for weight or extrem use
But 45!
45 one the back prevents punctures, try to go over glass bottle with 28 and 45psi
I used the slime but after about an hour my tyre goes flat
Probably a sidewall hole or one too big to patch! Need a new tire I'm afraid
Now when I pump it up I left it for 10+ hours and it was fine but as soon as I stud on it it went flat
@@sufyanliaqat736
I had a similar issue, I added more slim
That plastic cap breaks 4 out of five times for me.
Slime sealant is not absolutely prevent your tire from flat i tried this product when my front tire got a pin hole, the air inside puff out this green slime and i realized that the product is not worth it its a waste of money
Definitely doesn't prevent any holes on the sidewalls of the scooter as the slime tends to pool in the middle once the tire is spinning. But it's better than nothing!
Nothing is absolute but I've had a tire go flat, used slime and it kept flat tire full for months then when air would creep out I'd use it again. Definitely useful.
should be called ginger on legs and feet.. disappointed i thought you was cybernetik robot from future with like tracks or something and could scale 90 degree walls
He's using slime for inner tubes where as his scooter is tubeless
D4+ 2.0 had tubed tires.
Tom hempswell said your baby scooter is rubbish 🤔
Flat out is way better
Lol you may as well not have used any. What the hell was that? 😂
What was that? That was the amount recommended by the manufacturer on the label. 🤷♂️
Better to get solid rubber tires off Amazon or Walmart
lol, if your only going 5mph
Sorry pal that shit doesn't work at all.
Except for that it does.
@@GingerOnWheels
1] does it 'glue' the wheel together over time?
2] how do you know you have a flat, if it keeps the tyre inflated?
