Will this slime tube plug up my tire pressure gauge?
20220
The key to using Slime tubes is to always turn the wheel so that the valve is on top, at the 12 O'Clock position. That way the slime slithers to the bottom, keeping the valve clear. If you try it at the bottom position, at 6 O'Clock, or in the vicinity, the Slime will go into your gauge, and if you are pumping it will come out. All we need to do is keep the valve up top, and all will be well : )

Like the others said, this will inflate the tire also, however this is supposed to be for emergency temporary use until you can get the tire patched or plugged. The other slime is good for 2 years, and is also thicker and will fill larger holes. This one you toss in the trunk for emergency use, the other one you pump in your atv and lawn tractors for preventative use or chronic slow leaks.

A valve stem tool would be handy. It is best to remove the valve core, squeeze in the amount of Slime you want, replace the core and re-inflate. That way the Slime goes in faster and the core won't get as gummed up.

I can only say that I had two 2 inch screws puncture and embed in my rear motorcycle tire (about 4 inches apart). I injected the Slime and it sealed both holes. Having said that, I'm sure it depends on how big the holes are and how many.

It should work fine for that. And while you could set the regulator down to the pressure you want in your tire, you would better off leaving the regulator at full pressure and using a manual triggered tire inflater (with pressure gauge) at the end of your air hose. Tire inflaters like this often have built-in air bleeder buttons too, allowing you to instantly release excess pressure if you pump in too much.

You need a 26 x 1.95 but a lot of tubes run 26 x 1.75-2.2 or something like that as long as the goes to 1.95 your fine, I got the slime tube at the same time I got the from amazon. The max psi is 65psi, that's what is stamped on the tire and the min is 40psi. I rode them on 40psi and they where fine and I filled them to 65psi and they where even better. If you get the slime tubes fill them a little bit until they are rounded before you put them on to help prevent pinching and then fill them with the valve opposite the ground and adjust the psi the same way to prevent the slime from blocking the valve and oozing out.

No. I put a schrader valve adapter on my road bike's presta valve and the gauge wasn't able to read the pressure.

If the gauge is in line after the tanks are coupled, it will measure the relative pressure, as noted by a comment from Mike. I would ask a "pro", though, before I would try to cobble something together.

Everyone else has given you the common answer, which is no. But if you're a traveler, and you wanted to use this at gas stations, then you could add this: Amflo 701-2 1/4 npt tank valve Then clip the gauge hose on your tire, and hold the station hose on the end of the gauge and that would work. Although maybe not real comfortable to do.

The bottle of slime you are looking at should be enough for 15 to 20 bicycle tires, or 7 - 10 car tires. It really comes down to the size of your tires. I recommend starting with an ouns or two, then add some of need be. Slime pretty well. It helps to locate the leak, then make sure slime gets to that area (turn and tilt the wheel).

Short answer is no. It could be possible if you made an adapter hose to connect between the air chuck on the gas station hose and this tool. Not sure it's worth the effort. You can use this tool alone (with no compressed air connected) to MEASURE-ONLY tire pressure.

Yes you can, all this is a regular size tube with the slime inside that when thorns goes gets in, a small amount of the slime will plug the hole when the thorn is taking out or breaks. It can be used with any rim and tires AS LONG AS YOU ORDER THE RIGHT SIZE.

No. This is the tubeless slime. You have to look for the Slime tube sealant.

I haven't "tested" the unit using the Slime, but I understand that once used, you replace the Slime cartridge. It's a great little compressor.

yes with gauge, should not be used to inflate completely flat tire. will overheat

Supposed to. Maybe the plastic ones don't that come with their own gauge, but using this just get the metal ones.

This is a tube that is fill with "slime". It will seal an small punctures by itself. I ride in areas with a lot of rocks and my bike was out in the sub zero temps all winter. The tires are still full of air. Good tubes, just wish the rubber was a little thicker.
