How to add Slime tyre sealant to tubes with Presta valves without removing the tyre or tube

Показать описание

In this video I'll show you how you can easily add Slime tyre sealant to an inner tube with Presta valves with removable cores, without the need for special tools or adapters, and without having to remove the tyre or the tube from the wheel rim.

Very clever ! Excellent solution. Possibly the best tutorial I have ever watched and there have been many. Thanks !

Good tips here but for those of us who never had any idea that presta valves come in two varieties, showing the actual removal of the valve would make this video much more complete.

Saved the day my friend. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Great tips for the zip tie and thread tape, I knew someone smart on YT would have a good solution for the oversized slime tube. Worked great, thanks!

Cool tip, but even easier is to use a Presta to Schrader adapter.
Remove the valve core with a valve core removal tool, screw on the adapter with hose, attach the bottle and squese in the right amount.
With slime installed, remove the bottle, hose and adapter, screw back the Presta valve and pump up the tyre.
Job done.
I can also share how to unclogg a clogged valve core;
Just remove the valve core and clean in a small jar with kerosene (paraffin/lamp oil), dry and screw it back.

First try ever with slime or presta valves, worked great for 4 tires! No mess!

The first video I have ever watched where what was said could be done. Thank you👍

Nice job! Clear, concise, good close-up videography.

It was helpful. You saved me time. I didn't have removable valves so now I know to look for them when I buy new tubes. Thanks again!

If your Slime isnt flowing in or seems to block as it enters the valve, boil the kettle and stand the bottle of slime in for 5 mins, flowed in like a charm. Thanks for this video, worked brilliantly. Hopefully punctures are almost non exsistant now

I put sealant in a non removable presta valve after watching a video on how to remove it .
It worked, it's done .
You back off that small nut on top and push it into the tube . Put a clothes hanger clip.around the valve to hold it under the stem. Then push it back in, put the nut back on .
Presta valves suck . The only 29 " tube available had presta valves . Now it has sealant in it .
I'll see how long it goes without a flat

The Stans Sealant (not Race version) lasts about 6-7 months. I deflate my tires very slowly after this period, remove the presta valve core and add new sealant very slowly. I always seem to spill some sealant no matter how careful I try. And the presta nozzle can't be in the top most or bottom most position. I position the tube nozzle about half way up like you did so gravity will take effect. My presta valves lately have been clogging and have to be replaced to add air to my tires. Valve cores are very cheap. The Stans brand I think are the best.

Thanks so much, this was just the right amount of clear, concise information my "Dougal from father ted" brain can manage

I was taught to file down the top of the screw and then remove the small nut. Push the screw into the tube and fill as you describe and show in video. Then by feel you search and insert screw into valve. Replace nut and pinch the end of the screw. Add air with valve at the 12 o'clock position to avoid slime plugging the valve. Been doing it for many years.
