Stan's No Tube Preventive Liquid Tyre Sealant

Product Information

How long a sealant will last depends on the conditions your bike is kept in, the sealant you've chosen, and how many punctures it'll need to plug. The problem with real-world testing is that it’s impossible to test each sealant in the same conditions. Muc-Off No Puncture Hassle 1. Muc-Off No Puncture Hassle If you want the best out there, this is it The best tubeless tyre sealant is a lot like the best tubeless road tyres in that no two situations are the same and it's incredibly hard to draw any concrete conclusions. There have been times when we've gone an entire season without getting a single flat and there have been times when every ride has meant a new flat tyre. There’s no exact science to this, although Finish Line, again, has recommendations on its bottle, Effetto Mariposa actually goes into the most detail.

Chain reaction Cycles and CRC are trading names of Wiggle Ltd (In Administration) registered in the United Kingdom at 1000 Lakeside, Suite 310, Third Floor N E Wing, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO6 3EN, Race formula is only available in bigger tubs (just under a litre for just over thirty quid), but the extra price over No Tubes standard sealant is worth it since it’s worked extremely well for us on multiple occasions; plugging big holes fast before we’ve lost all air, which is something that rarely happens out on the trail with other sealants. This Conversion Kit from Milkit makes going tubeless simple process because everything you need is included in the box. A cool feature of the syringe is you can store all the accessories in the handle, even the valves. And talking of which – it’s much easier to clean off any dried-on sealant on this than a regular valve. In fact, the valves are the best thing about this kit, and I’d recommend them as an upgrade, but for some reason Milkit isn’t selling them separately. Stans No Tubes tyre sealant really is a classic and perhaps one of the best-known options out there. The claims of cold weather performance are quite exceptional for this sealant – not many state that they'll go down to lows of -30°F / -34°C. Express Delivery is 1 to 3 working days (Monday to Friday 08:00-17:00, excl. Public Holidays) and is subject to:To be fair, the sealant did manage to plug holes up to and including 3mm at 70 psi, which is on par with both the Stans and Effetto Mariposa. The Orange Seal Regular sealant also plugged those smaller holes faster than the Stans No Tubes sealant was able to. You can't really have too much sealant, but adding more sealant than the sealant brand recommends doesn't provide any benefit to the performance of a tubeless tyre. Putting too much tyre sealant into your tyre wastes both sealant and money and will add unnecessary rational weight to your bike, which can negatively affect the handling of your bike.

Stan’s Race Sealant is definitely worth the small premium over the standard blend. Our heaviest-hitting test riders swear by this stuff – a potent magic formula that heals cuts and makes holes vanish. Stan’s No Tubes Race Sealant is expensive, but contains twice as many sealing crystals and uses bigger particles that can make larger holes air tight. Latex-based and natural, Stan’s is one of the first and best-known tyre sealants. Its popular original formula is proven to work without the familiar issues of drying out prematurely or simply not being able to plug small holes and rips in damaged tyres. There definitely is something about long stranded particles that really boosts sealing performance. Although Silca has made a lot of fuss about its carbon fibres and its research, it appears that the Muc-Off sealant works in much the same way, with very similar-looking fibres visible in the plugged holes. After we’d finished testing a sealant, we cleaned the tyre thoroughly with water and rags, plugged the existing holes in the tyre with tape, and tested the next sealant on a different section of tyre. For many sealants, this means that the life expectancy is shorter than you might realise. It’s the one aspect of a tubeless setup that can catch many riders out. How long will a sealant last? The quantity and size of crystals in this special formula means that Stan's Race Sealant can only be installed directly into the tire. As a result of its immense sealing capabilities, Race Sealant is not compatible with injector or other valve installation methods. Race sealant should be inspected every 2-3 weeks for best performance. Be sure to rinse race sealant out of used tires intended to be stored/reinstalled.During our test, Stan’s No Tubes Race sealant performed well, instantly sealing the smaller hole and forming a seal on the larger 5mm puncture with minimal air loss. This seal also remained in place with no leaking.
