I had some slime tubes on my old schwinn (27 X 1.25 tires).
They were horrible.
1) Weigh a ton.
2) For the first 5 miles or so it felt like the slime had settled on the bottom side of the tire where it ran to while sitting between rided. Resulted in a very "out of balance" feel on the ride.
Put a tougher tire on if you must. Armadillo or something like that.
