    Thanks Bill

    I guess me dropping in today gave you some ideas. The Slime in the tires sounds like a good idea.

    Most guys in the Baja swear by it. Look at it this way for $7 you have a 50% or greater chance the tire will seal up. If you don't have it you have a ZERO chance.

    Then your going to say "Well I can change a tube myself " . But from my experience guys who have changed less than 6 tires will.....

    1) Not have the right tools or skills
    2) Pinch the tube
    3) Take 2 hrs wasting everyone you ride with's time.
    4) Run out of CO2
    5) Never get a dry tire to seat properly
    6) Pinch flat
    7) Rip the new tube.

    For big trips like Baja in the middle of no where . run the slime
