Slime increases the difficulty of changing tires marginally. With all the practice
you have had, it should not be a problem
Others have reported that slimed tubes are 'unrepairable', (patches dont stick). Steve

Slime doesn't seem to really work at pressures greater than about 45 psi. It also tends to clump together in the cold, leaving a seriously unbalanced tire. A frind of mine actually used it in a tubular once, and it not only didn' seal a very small leak, but it also ruined an expensive tire. I wouldn't use the stuff.
OTOH, Tufo makes a very good sealant. It isn't cheap, but it does work, even at very high pressures. I've had Tufo sealant work just fine on a tubular at 140 psi.
