I am running tubeless tires, currently have 3 different sets and each of the three has at least
one tire that has slow leaks, some more than slow leaks. Soapy water poured on the tire shows air
bubbles all over, kinda looks like white fungus growing on the tire. I figure slime will take care
of these problems but i am wondering how hard it will be to swap between sets of tires without
getting everything covered in the stuff. Does it just stick to the tires after installed or am i
going to be leaking green stuff all over the place on a tire change?

I'm guessing you will leak stuff all over. The slime in my tubes seems to stay wet (so it will flow
and auto- balance i assume).

I prefer my newbs clean 'n dry.

I believe there's now a Slime formulated specifically for use in tubeless tires. And I know a few
folks with problems like yours who've used the sealant from Stan No Tubes system in their tubeless
tires with good results. www.notubes.com.
