If you use the right tires you're not going to have that happen. I guess you didn't read my earlier post. I use to live in Goathead country...Mojave desert area of Calif. With Conti Gatorskin tires, Mr Tuffy liners, thick thorn resistant tubes with Slime I averaged 2 to 3 flats a week, (which was down from over a dozen a week with other tires and a liner). Then I switched to Specialized Armadillo All Condition tires and a 65 gram racing tube with no slime or liner and I went flat free for about 15,000 miles.

So no, Slime does nothing in the way of blessing you if you're on high pressure road tires, unless you think gooey green mess inside your rims is a blessing.

I will say this about getting lots of flats out there in the Mojave Desert...it made me real proficient at fixing flats on the side of the road, what worked the best and what didn't. It's one of the reasons I use glueless patches from Specialized or Park because they hold up forever, and their fast to apply. I know, I've read many complaints about glueless patches, some of those complaints are due to using cheap ones that don't work well, and others are simply because the tube wasn't prepared correctly and or the patch wasn't installed correctly. I've found fixing a flat with glueless patches was just as quick, if not faster, as replacing the tube but it took less time once I got home because I didn't have unpack the tube, find a leak then patch it and repack the tube. I have a friend who hated glueless patches and thought I was nuts for using them, then he had a flat one day while we were out riding, I offered to fix his flat with a glueless patch, showed him how it was done, now he will use nothing but glueless patches. I've had as many as 13 glueless patches on tube and that tube was my permanent tube that I used for 5 years, all of those glueless patches stayed adhered to the tube and never leaked for all those years.
