I was a big believer in Slime tubes until I got a nasty puncture and got slime on EVERYTHING. Plus I could not patch it afterwards - it let me ride one mile before going flat. I only carry them as a spare now only because I already have them and not because I see the value in them. My $0.02

And 10,000 per year? Damn that's awesome!
