I purchased some slime tyre protectors yesterday to go with my new Nobby Nics.

After my first outing I came back with a flat back tyre..

On closer inspection, I notices the tube protectors actually CAUSED the puncture.. making about a 3mm gash in the tube where the protector ends.. :x

Anyone else had experience with this?

    Slime tubes are heavy and crap. Go tubeless - real tubeless no ghetto

    Yup, the slime protectors have been known to cause punctures.

    They're a pain in the arse.

    Best place for them is the bin
