I just mounted a set of holeshot xct's and in the process of putting the last 1 on the rim i pressed it down onto a sharp part of the rim and put a slice in the bead.It seated fine and held air overnite but after a 15 minute ride went flat...will tire slime fix this leak at the bead?any other suggestions besides a tube?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

Your best bet is to break the tire off the bead and use a good bead sealer such as Camel bead sealer, If you cant find that at your local store Ive used permatex Hi-Tack sealer which comes in a small can with a brush, If that wont do it Im afraid a tube is your only alternative, My experience with slime is that it just shows you where the leak is [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
