Thanks man! I’ve got a new trick too. First put a little bead of slime on either side of the red bladder. Then Once you get one side of the bead on the rim just dump the 8oz of slime in the bottom and very careful roll it around in the tire about 180 degrees. Then mount the other bead and you don’t have to put the slime in through the valve stem. Cheers!!

You can fill the tire with slime easier by Doing it like a mountain bike tire. Get one side of the bead mounted, then pour the slime into the tire from the other side, way easier than going through the valve. Cheers!

Nice video. Lots of install videos but this is the first I found that shows replacing a tire on s tubliss system (as opposed to initial install). Also using Armorall with slime was enlightening. Until now I wasn't sure you could use both on the same install. Thx.

No problem! Check out my response to Gavins comment (pinned to the top) I figured out a trick from the MTB world that saves a lot of time and energy. Cheers!

I do a slightly different similar install method. I actually put a thick bead of Slime around both sides of the red inner liner and also inside the tire on both sides near the bead (using rubber gloves and smoothing the Slime in the tire). I then mount both side tire beads. That way the liner and inside of tire are already saturated with Slime. Once I have the tire fully mounted I air it up and the seal is always good. Not saying my way is better...I think it achieves the same result and I haven't had any leakage issues.

Nice work on the video. Thanks and thumbs up. I like your method. I do have to say that I think Slime is the most worthless sealant ever made. I know you said in the video that you are using it for lubricant to extend the life of your Tubliss, but there are soo many better sealants that will actually plug punctures and rips in your tires. You won't need to add a plug when you get home to stop the green ooze with those sealants like you do with Slime in most cases. Ride On.

I’ve had pretty good luck with it overall. The holes I’ve gotten that needed plugs were pretty big holes (mostly from tearing off side lugs) that I think would put any sealant to the test. What’s your favorite you would recommend? I run Stans in my MTB. Cheers!

@@SourceADV So far my favorite is Cafe' Latex. Granted it may be 50% more money and it may not lubricate as well. It will stop a leak better than anything I've tried however. One advantage to the stiff Moto tires with Tubliss is that you can run at 0 psi when a hole doesn't seal. Try that with a MTB tire and it gets bad fast when the tire pops off the bead.

@SourceADV

@@adaycj I can't see any instances of people using Cafe Latex for moto tires. Do you know if it is normal to do so?

I’ve used both Slime with the red label that’s meant for dirt bikes, atv etc. and I’ve used Stan’s tire sealant and I think Stan’s is a better choice because it isn’t as thick as Slime and coats the inside easier and faster. It might be a personal preference but I’ve had better experiences with Stan’s over Slime in both my MTB and dirt bike.

Thanks Greg! You know with the Tubliss system, as long as that inner bladder is nice and lubricated with Slime, its pretty darn easy and straight forward to get on without risk of pinching, using those little spoon type irons makes it pretty straightforward. The biggest thing I've learn since I posted this video is to just spray the slime or sealant into the fresh tire after you have one side on the bead, like they do on MTB tires, then mount the next side. It's way easier than going through the valve stem. Cheers!

Nice tips, getting ready for this on 2 new never ridden KTMs. Have u noticed the air staying in tires better with this slime technique? ( I see some say Stan's sealant, never heard of but?) no issues with the slime loosening the rim tape? Armor All has no problem with keeping the bead adhered to the rim especially mixing with the slime? Wondering because the soapy water ends up drying leaving tight bond rubber to rim this is my wondering point.

Air stays in great. The only thing that leads to leaks is punctures haha. I think the soapy water stays in the slime and dilutes it and makes it thinner. I use regular slime for tires that you get from auto parts store and it has worked great. Cheers!!

My instructions say to use Armour All when spooning on the Tubliss liner, but when spooning on the tire, to lube the outside of the liner and inner tire bead with the sealant. You used Armour All for both Tubliss and tire. Have you tried only using the sealant as lubricant when mounting the tire and if so which do you prefer?

@SourceADV

I’ve done both! I like applying armorsll to the bead, and If you apply sealant to the liner before it does eliminate the step of dropping the tire which is nice. Using sealant on the bead of the tire tends to just get a bit messier. But the outcome is all the same. Cheers!

You can buy replacement inners from most places that sell tubliss. It’s a very beefy little tube

The seal is between the red inner and the tyre bead itself only,so I was thinking that the inner should be left at 100psi then undo the low pressure tyre valve,add slime refit the valve and pump up to 15psi,done.

Getting some slime on that seal helps mitigate air loss from the outer chamber.
