This 2-pack of Slime 20-inch inner tubes is designed for BMX and folding bike riders who want to eliminate the hassle of trailside flat repairs. Featuring a pre-filled sealant that automatically plugs punctures up to 3mm, these tubes provide reliable, continuous protection during your ride; however, users should note that the added weight of the sealant makes them slightly heavier than standard racing tubes.

These are designed for standard 20-inch BMX and folding bike tires; always check your tire sidewall for the specific ETRTO measurement to ensure compatibility.
Yes, but be aware that some CO2 cartridges can cause the sealant to freeze or clump if applied too rapidly.
No, you only need standard tire levers to remove the tire from the rim.
The sealant is effective on punctures up to 3mm in diameter.
The sealant is permanently contained within the tube; if the tube fails to seal a puncture, the tube should be replaced.
Check the valve core to ensure it is tightened properly and verify that no large objects are still embedded in the tire casing.
Clear any excess sealant from the valve pin and ensure the valve cap is securely tightened after inflation.
Installation follows the same procedure as a standard inner tube: remove your old tube, ensure the inside of the tire casing is clear of the original cause of the flat, and install the Slime tube. Always inflate the tube slightly before inserting it into the tire to prevent pinches. Regarding care, because the valve uses a Schrader mechanism, occasionally wipe down the valve tip to prevent dried sealant from affecting the pressure seal. If you notice a slow leak over many months, it may be time to inspect the tire for large embedded debris that the sealant cannot fully bridge.
