Slime Tire Liners on a bike??

[Pol Anorl]

ok ive read a lot about "Slime Tire Liners"..
my rear wheel suffers from punctures a lot on my sr 125.

and i mean around 3-4 punctures a month.

reading about slime liners i hear there great but, all i seem to find is for push bikes and bmx's does anyone know if this will work the same on a motorbike?

also what are your views on "Slime Tire Liners"

What the hell are you doing to get 3-4 punctures a month

[Pol Anorl]

well i live in a village.
and theres a lot of tractors going back and forth through country lanes. taking bits of the trees off and such,

i just very unlucky when it comes to things like that.

also the bushes round here have recently been cut so its thorn heaven on the roads

Just standard slime in the innertube is what's generally used on motorbikes.

However, I would certainly be considering maybe a new tyre with a bit more/hopefully tougher tread or something.

Sounds like you have pretty naff tyres if bits of stick and thorns are puncturing it, they should be affecting pushbikes not motorbikes.

should be able to ride over a smashed window and not get a puncture with decent tyres

Im not too keen on slime, having seen the damage it did to the wheels on my FJ.

SR125.
Thats got tubed tyres, right?
FJ & others have tubless tyres so if you use tyre weld or slime, its between the wheel and the tyre and gums up the bead, which is why tyre places dont like it.
You dont tell-em its in there!
They get the tyre off, you apologise, tell them a previouse owner must have used it, take the wheel away, clean it take it back and if they remember you, promice to NEVER do anything so silly again!
As for the SR.... tyre slime is not a substitute for a propper repair.
Inside a tube it sloches about until something pirces the tube, then it leaks through the hole and plugs it.
SOME will have gone through the hole though and it will try and stick the inner tube to the tyre.
Its NOT nice stuff and it wrecks the wheel balence.

So backing up to your problem.

Hawthorn Hedges, and flail cutters!

I know it well.

First up, put in a complaint to the local council.

Farmers have a 'duty' to maintain hedges, but they are NOT supposed to leave debris on the road, if they are leaving that much debris they are running the cutter too fast and probably without all the guards in place. Could also be the council themselves. either way, losge a complaint with teh local council Highways Dept. Get it logged.

They MAY even ask you if you want to claim for any damages.

Next up; your tyres dont sound the best. To be punctuing that easy they are either very cheap and nasty, or they are old and perished, possibly both.

Decent tyres area MUST on a bike. Especially a learner bike. They transform the handling and give you a LOT more confidence in what the bike is doing.

And 'good' tyres dont puncture that easy.

The other thought that occurs, for a 'rural' area, is the SR the 'best' bike for you?

What about a Dirt-Bike?

Trail-Tyres with block-treads have 1/2" deep knobbles that thorns dont easily penetrate!

They also deal with much, and cow-shit pretty well.

But, IF you live somewhere with open muddy fields around..... they are a hoot to blast about i the mud!

OK, so your farmers might not like you jousting with thier prize heifers..... but theres often 'green-lanes' un-tarmaced roads you can go explore, and THAT is great fun.

Meanwhile higher riding possition gives a much better view of the lanes and over hedges at whats coming towards you on teh single-track, giving you more warning to take to the verge ahead of thet mad modeo man1
