    Hi,
    Bought a new bike recently and after assembly realised the back tyre had a puncture. The hole was actually a small tear along the seam between the valve and the tube. I noticed a blue/green goo (that's the technical term) oozing from the tube.

    I squeezed about 1/2 a small cup full from the tube.

    What's it all about? A lubricant to stop the tube shrivelling? I only cycle for in/out to work so it has literally been years since I have had to repair a puncture - don't remember this being in tubes years gone by.
