Patrick wrote of Jay's tire sealing mess:

"Nothing worse on
a ride to find that in addition to the hassle of replacing a tube your
tire is full of messy slime, now contaminated with roadside sand."


To which I reply:

There is something worse.

What's worse is working at a bike shop and fixing a customer's flat with
Slime in it (it *still* boggles my mind that people bring flats to a bike
shop...)  Inevitably this occurs on a busy day when you have five other
things going on.  You pull the tube off and lo and behold, slime.  At this
point, you look down to realize that your shoes, socks, legs, shorts,
hands, forearms and the front of your shirt are covered with the vile
stuff, not to mention the inside of the tire.  Often times you get the
warning of the green valve cap, but usually these are long gone.
