Sealant? What does the best job

[stirk]

Try taking the wheel off the bike, pump it up to about 40 psi and wobble it on its sides for a while. I had the same problem on a newly mounted tyre and now it sealing fine .

I'll persevere for a while longer, I'll submerge in a pool and see where it bubbles might be a problem with my valve or rim tape.

I thought you must have been scrubbing the wheels with some kind of brush while you were washing it...

I only ever light hose my bike down, never even use soap, it always looks dusty.

Joe's or stans.

Rubena stuff was a pain in the arse, we ended up throwing it out.

Did play with peatys the other day, looked promising. Keen to see how it goes long term.

Stans RACE.

It has small fibreglass strands in it.
Will seal bigger holes.
Cannot install via valve hole though.

I sampled the micro fibreglass strands in the back of my car when I left a high inflated tire in their in the sun and it exploded off the rim so I know they are in there. Itchy.....
To look at the fresh Stans Race it looks just like the normal stuff.

What happened with the Rubena?

I buy Joes in bulk, 1L bottles. Cheaper than others and works consistently. Happy days

Been on Orange for a while now with no issues at all. Better than regular Stans imo.

it's worth remembering that carparts shops usually carry a tyre sealant most of the time too, especially if you're in a bind out of hours or don't want to wait for online delivery

What happened with the Rubena?

Few batches came out with too much liquid, each bottle was never the same. Had wheels that refused to seal with Rubena, instant success with Joe's. It also turns into a rich royal mess if you're putting an existing tyre on that's been tubeless, alot more precleaning required. It's one sealant I'll not go near again..

If you're running a workshop you want consistent product.

That doesn't sound good but I've had a good run out of the last bottle I bought. I'm pretty sure it's meant to be more watery as it takes a lot longer to dry out compared to other brands. One thing I found is that you've got to use the exact amount stated for each tyre size.

Tried some of the Peaty's stuff the other day. Bought a wire bead tyre which wouldn't seal properly using normal stands, has since sealed up using Peaty's so i suppose that glittery crap does work after all.

Try Peaty's Sealant, get it through your LBS via Lusty.
Phil Atwill and our WC team Propain Dirt Zelvy have been using it all season. great stuff. We will offer it with our tubeless kits in the new year.

It should come in a pint glass, just quietly

. If I knew we could get it in aus from a lbs I wouldn’t have bought a bottle of orange stuff

Haha for sure! He is an amazing drinker.

Watching him win in canberra with Warner screaming “i think im having a stroke” is one of the best moments in mtb history.

It would make for a great chrissy pressie, like the beer and glass pack you get from the bottlo

I switched up from regular Stans to Stans race sealant. I went from hissing noises every ride to perfect seal. My best scientific guess is that they use bigger chunks of goop.
