SLIME ADDS 29X SMART TUBES AND 26X SUPER THICK SMART TUBES
TO LINE OF BICYCLE PRODUCTS
New and Improved Slime Liners for Bicycles are Stronger and Lighter for Riders
GROVER BEACH, Calif.—Accessories Marketing, Inc. (AMI), creator and manufacturer of Slime® Tire
and Tube Sealant products, is pleased to announce new additions to its line of bicycle products. The new 29X
Presta Valve Smart Tube and 26X Presta Super Thick Smart Tube products offer the convenience of a Slime
pre-filled tube in new sizes and valve configurations. Slime also introduced improved Tire Liners that are
now stronger and lighter.
The Slime Smart Tubes are pre-filled with nontoxic Slime Tube Sealant that seals tread area punctures
up to 1/8-inch (3mm) using patented Fibro-Seal™ technology. The advanced sealant technology
utilizes a unique combination of fibers, binders and clotting agents that instantly seek out the
puncture area and prevent flat tires by forming a flexible, long-lasting plug.
The Slime Smart Tubes install like a normal tube and work continuously to seal multiple punctures as they
occur. They are sized for 1.85 to 2.20 or 700 x 47-52 tires. Slime Tire and Tube Sealant is nonflammable,
nontoxic, environmentally-friendly and water soluble; it will not freeze or dry up, and it is guaranteed to last
at least two years. (Part# 30043; MSRP $6.99)
“The new Slime Smart Tubes are specially designed for the increasingly popular 29-inch tires which have a
larger diameter resulting in a smoother, faster ride,” explained Jim Cegelski, CEO of Accessories Marketing,
Inc. “The new Slime Smart Tubes enable riders with 29-inch tires to enjoy a flat-free ride.”
The new 29-inch Smart Tube with presta valve product is part of the Slime Smart Tube Family consisting of
tubes in the following sizes: 12.5 x Schrader, 16 x Schrader, 20 x Schrader, 24 x Schrader, 26 x Schrader, 27
x Schrader, 26 x Presta, 700 x 19 Presta and 700 x 28 Presta.
For riders looking for the ultimate in flat tire protection, Slime offers the Super Thick Smart Tube. This
product features an ultra durable thorn resistant tube with five times the amount of Slime inside. The Super
Thick Smart Tubes are available in 20X and 26X Schrader styles and are now also available in a 26X Presta
style. (Part# 30055; MSRP $8.99)
As part of the company’s commitment to continually improve the products offered, Slime Liners have been
reformulated and are now stronger and lighter than ever, and have been tested and proven to be 27-percent
tougher and 17-percent lighter than the competing liner brand.
