Slime/Ultraseal - altering tyre pressure
 
Hi
This is probably a stupid question, but whats the deal with letting the tyres down etc when you've slimed your tubes?

The stuff is meant to plug gaps, so would this not clog the valve? Or does it only work when the tyre is moving and centifugal force is flinging it around the circumference?

cheers
Ian

tyre goo
 
Hi

You let your tyre down to put the goo into your tyre (after taking valve out), clean the valve part by blasting air around it to clear any goo then re insert the valve and pump up. As you go the goo will spread, no doubt a little may collect at the bottom when your not on the bike but with a few spins it will even out again.
