Have some 700x45c ordered from eBay. I'll report back if anything bad happens as a result of the Slime tube being in place. It's odd hearing the squishiness going on inside the tube - lol.
i just now had to use vise grip pliers on a valve stem remover to get a stuck valve out of a Slimed tube. the valve wouldn't allow air past it, in or out.
i've had to CUT a valve stem off to remove a Slime tube from a wheel/tire.
i've had a few come in the shop that were WAY over-filled too... like, half a big bottle of Slime oozing around in them.
A 700c bike wheel is the exact same bead seat diameter as a 29" bike wheel, btw.
