Slime skabs are unique in their application because they provide bicyclists options apart from the typical and standard patches requiring scuffing, glue, and then a patch.  Most people don’t have to time or energy to really try to install a patch when on a trail biking, or for that matter, just riding around town.  Obviously, one of the biggest frustrations is the ever-looming “non-sticking” patch problems.  Skabs solve that problem by reducing the amount of work required and by simplifying the technique to installing.  Here are some quick pros and cons:

Quick Pros:

• Easy to install
• No glue required
• Everything needed is included
• 6 patches will keep you going for a while
• Will easily fit in a pocket
• Fast “setting”

Quick Cons:

• Too small for large holes
• Not effective on dirty tubes
• Wait time varies by temperature and moisture

Despite the fact that larger holes won’t be patched with these, I still trust Skabs each and every time I go.  I woudl definitely suggest Skabs for bikers and recreationists who don’t want to deal with the glue, scuffing, and patching that normal patch kits require.
