I hate FLATS. Any easy fixes?
 

Felt ambitious yesterday, gonna hook up my cart to trim some lower branches on a Ash tree out front. Start up my # 122, start backing up, & rear tire is almost flat.:bash2:

Did I mention how much I hate flats?:bash2:

I know, I know, take the tire off, & get that rim sanded & done right.:beatdeadhorse:

But....................? Is there a band-aid fix rather than doing that? Like adding some gunk like Green-Slime. To seal that rim?

Just wondering if anyone has an easy type fix for those leaky rims?:bigthink:

Nik,

Yes I would try Green Slime in the tire. The stuff is pretty amazing.:beerchug:

I've had awesome luck with slime

Slime does work well, but if/when the time comes to do a major repair/ or tire replacement it is a gooey mess to clean up, as there are no free lunches.
Just so you know going in.--

the green goo worked good on the fronts of my 102, ended up using fix-a-flat for the rears and worked well, dosnt even seep anymore...but keep in mind i have a different set of rims im using for when i get the new tires

I've never used the tire slime. I hear it works great. But, as stated before, the same guys complained about the mess they had when they went to change out tires. :biggrin2:

I had a set of rusty rims once and put the black gasket sealant (RTV) on the rim bead to fill the pitting and a little on the tire bead. Let it cure a little then seat the bead. Never leaked again.

Slime may eventually ruin your rims. Cleaning them up and repainting them will fix the problem. Do it right and do it once...

"PUT TUBES WITH THE SLIME IN THEM " :beerchug: i have tube in my 982 & never have flats or dont seep . :beerchug:
