Anyone use these tubes? Any good? Got fed up with a puncture interrupting my ride the other day and thought I would look into these. The lite version are supposed to be not far off normal tube weight, whatever that is.

    +1^^^The problem with Slime is that it won't seal many of the flats that cyclists commonly get and it usually leaves a gooey mess to deal with when you to take the punctured tube out to replace. Patching is a huge PITA as you have to wash off the slime and try to prep the surface for the patch which is not always successful.

    What tyres are you using?
    Red bikes are the fastest.
