Stan's No-Tubes Sealant in Road Tubular?
I have a friend who has injected Stan's No-Tubes sealant into his road
tubulars and swears it works for sealing punctures. I have read a lot of pros and cons concerning Tufo sealant, mostly cons, from riders who say it doesn't work. Has anyone tried the Stan's sealant in a tubular? Did it work? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Bruce |

Bruce: don't know what Stan's sealant is, but I've been very pleased as to the results of using sealant in tubies. I've been doing this for 2 years. I put about 10cc of sealant in my rear (only) tires. Saved me from having to do an ugly tire change in the pouring rain today, when I picked up a glass wedge. The tire partially deflated, I rotated it so that the hissing sound was at the bottom, and then reinflated. For 1mm or so holes, no repair is required - the sealant will allow me to inflate to the rated tire pressure. My most dramatic sealant repair is when I picked up a roofing staple. It entered the tire diagonally and made 4 punctures as the sharp ends entered the tread and exited the sidewall. The casing was ruined, but the sealant held things together until I got back to civilization. I buy something called "Tire Sealant" you can buy at Canadian Tire. 500ml bottle for $4. My best guess as to the composition of this is water, glycerin, green dye and chopped-up cotton fibers. |
