if a bike is donated here, and the inner tubes are full of sealant, the tubes get removed and tossed out. ASAP.
this includes those massively heavy Slime "thorn resistant" tubes. The bike suddenly becomes fun to ride, due to the removal of a pound or so of rotating mass.
We are there with you....well almost.

If the tube is still good, we leave it in. but we don't patch tubes with sealant, they get tossed.
