[QUOTE="MajBach, post: 1248101, member: 27289"] Thanks everyone for the replies. The tire had lost air the next morning (12 psi) so I filled it and checked again an hour or so later; again, had dropped to 15 psi and the tire was warm and gummy. I stopped at a great bike store in Portland and after pricing a new PR 4 at $400 CDN, I decided on the $10 bottle of slime. I did the remaining 400 miles without losing any psi (but damn! that is the LAST time I drive the I5). I picked up my own irons etc while at the store and going to attempt a better repair job on my own (will cutout the excess plug on the inside, clean out the slime and put a proper size patch) . But most importantly, I'll monitor the tire and replace the first sign of any trouble. [/QUOTE]
