Because i'm all about the sport of riding, i check bluetraxx occasionally. (I gotta say though, you guys/gals here are MUCH more intelligent and subjective...especially those who ride blue AND red). Anyhow, i read and relpied to a post over there and i just wanted to tell ya'll the same thing.
for those who didn't know....DO NOT USE FIX-A-FLAT!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a HUGE diference between slime and fix-a-flat. I've been dealing with tires for over five years, so please...EVERYONE listen up. That slime stuff is great. It uses a water based liquid adheasive along with organic fiber to seal holes in you tire. Fix-a-flat uses an amonia based acid that actually will decompose the inner liner (rubber) of your tires! Believe it or not, F-A-F WILL destroy your tires!
There is a small drawback to slime. i can/will cause a little vibration at high (55mph+) speeds. you can cure that though. When you buy the slime, only use 1/2 to 2/3 the amount it tells you to put in there
