I fitted this to my road bike having had two punctures in two weeks and it helped a lot. The instructions tell you not to file down the edges and I had no problems with it causing punctures. I run the tyres at 120psi so I did not see any change in resistance. With lower pressure, you run the risk that the plastic will cut into the rubber so bear that in mind. I found that after a few weeks they had molded to the inside of the type so that when removed they retained their shape allowing an easy refit. One think they will not stop, however, is punctures from the side of the tyre. When changing tyre, I noticed that there were a lot of small holes it had protected me from so it obviously works. Its a great idea but doesnt cover the side wall and is annoying to fit. I would recommend that instead of relying soley on these, you get a tyre with built in protection and then put this in as well if they are paranoid. It added a couple of minutes when fitting for the first time. None when changing the inner tube after a couple of weeks.

Havent had a puncture since fitting them eight months ago - even when pieces of glass have cut through the tyre casing.
Cons:
Difficult to fit.
They make the tyre heavier, rolling resistance is noticeably worse.
Reviewed by: Amazon Reviewer Rating: Date Reviewed: 18May2009 | | | I commute 12 miles every day and have had a couple of punchers in the last 12 months. Since fitting the Slime Tyre Liner I have had 7 punchers last week! I have replaced the tubes, cleaned the inside of the tyre, filed the ends of the liner smooth and even duck taped the liner to the inside of the tube. But still I have had issues. Since removing the Slime Tyre liner I have not had a puncher. Going to splash the cash on a tyre with a built in anti puncture material under tread as in my personal experience the tyre liner is not the way to go.
