That `s why only low speed applications are recommended for Slime. I also ride a bicycle, but never use the stuff. It`s too cheap and easy to change a tube on a bicycle.

Default saved my butt more that once

I've used it on trips when I have woke up to a flat, and have left it in a tubed rear tire for at least 1500 miles as I needed to change the tire out soon and it never gave me a problem. The slime kit comes with a mini compressor and I have one in each of our bikes.

They have a chart on how much to use depending on the tire. Tube tires take more than tubeless. From what I remember it was about 10 oz. per tire.

Forgot to add, I have not felt any shaking at all. I'd say it's a good product.

I don't see dosage for tubed tires, unless the motorcycle chart is for that

Look in the motorcycle section on the Ride-On site. They recommend 25% more in tube tires.
