You should be fine as long as you don't combine it with Stans or anything else that isn't Orange Seal. 100% better than Stans
That's exactly what I did, and it worked perfectly for me. I kept the old bottle, which had about a half-tire worth of application, and added the endurance to make it a full. Although I believe the endurance formula does not seal as large or extreme punctures as the regular road formula, it still performs admirably. I'd choose endurance over Stan's, but I'd rather have the regular orange seal. I hope this information is useful. Cheers.
Only the old sealant on the tire bead must be removed in order to achieve an effective seal. This is a difficult job that can be made a little easier with the use of a wire brush.
Probably between 150 and 200. The bottle says 200ml, and I ran mine in a tire for a year with no problems (it didn't sit in the bottle long enough to know).

Let's face it: the average cyclist is frequently persuaded to believe in a product's claimed benefits without ever seeing any valid tests to back up the claims. You'll hear a lot of anecdotal evidence about how good tubeless tires are, but you'll rarely hear about the numerous disadvantages - as well as the fact that you're probably better off just using regular tire tubes. br>br>The following are the most frequently cited tubeless advantages (paraphrased): br>br>* Run at low pressures without going flatbr>This is mostly for off-road riders. The benefit of going tubeless, according to the road, is that you can lower the tire pressure lower than you could with a tube to get more grip on loose/uneven surfaces. Using tubes, on the other hand, would result in pinch flats once you fell below a certain point. False - Tubes that are properly installed will not pinch flat even at lower pressures, and tubeless tires suffer from "burping," which occurs when the bead breaks and a large amount of air escapes. The benefits of extremely low PSI are also questionable at best. br>br>* No flatsbr>This has nothing to do with tubeless and everything to do with the liquid sealant that you have to use as a stopgap to get tubeless to work in the first place. Because spoked wheels aren't designed to be airtight, they aren't recommended. A seal must be created in order for tubeless to work. This is accomplished by taping over the spoke holes and forming a bead between the tire and the rim with the sealant. If preventing flats is your primary concern, you could just as easily apply this sealant to a tubed tire. br>br>* Faster ride/better handlingbr>Completely subjective claims with no basis in reality. A skilled rider can perform equally well on tubed or tubeless tires. In many cases, the sealant weighs more than a decent tube, and having liquid in your tires doesn't help with performance or handling. br>br>Orange Sealbr>- br>br>Orange Sealbr>- br>br>Orange Sealbr> So, what's the big deal about this orange stuff? First and foremost, it is presented in an unappealing manner. Because it had leaked out, the bottle arrived half-empty. They are placed in zip-lock bags by the seller. You can put the leaky bottles in ziplock bags to keep them from making a mess in transit, but you'll still be out a couple of ounces when it arrives. br>br>Secondly, this stuff is extremely watery, making it difficult to form a bead with tires that aren't "tubless ready. " Although I have tubless-ready Inferno 27 rims and tires, this stuff was unable to seal the minor gaps. The tire would quickly deflate if the air hose was disconnected. br>br>Third, as previously stated, tubeless is largely a meme bandwagon that provides few or no benefits while adding cost. br>br>- Tubes are inexpensive and can last a long time.
- Tubes hold air better and do not require inflation every time you go for a ride. br>- Tubes won't "pinch flat" if they're installed properly.
- A small amount of sealant can also be added to tubes to provide anti-static protection. If you're worried about flat protection, this is a good option.
- "Burping" isn't an issue with tubes.
- The installation of tubes does not necessitate the use of an air compressor or a "charge pump. "
- Even if you go tubeless, if your tire goes flat for any reason, you'll need a tube to get home. br>br>By attempting to make bicycling reliant on costly "consumables" that require frequent maintenance, the cycling industry preys on fools. Stop doing it.
I used Stans before discovering Orange Seal, and now I only use Orange Seal. I've confidently ridden Utah while wearing Orange Seal, and I've also ridden—and walked—Colorado while renting a bike and wishing I had Orange Seal (rather than Stans). I've ridden back to the trailhead after simple punctures (which you don't notice until after the ride) and even torn knobs (which are more noticeable, like spew-outs). sealant- noticeable—used an OS sealant and a plug). I even rode out a bent rim by rubbing dirt into the void and using OS to seal the gap (see photo), though I had to keep pumping intermittently due to the rim's out of shape. OS is quick and effective for "normal" punctures, but what I like best about it is the solid bond at the bead, which makes re-application a breeze. a simple inflation On the trail, I find that to be extremely useful. Stans don't inspire the same level of trust in me. TIPS: If you're using new rubber, go ahead and add a little more than the recommended amount. It forms a film over the entire/interior of the new tire; however, having enough sealant IN the tire for a puncture is the key to tubeless sealant. Shake well before pouring into an open tire or stem. (They make an excellent tube injector. ) ) Because Orange Seal contains solids that work in tandem with the liquid, shaking is also essential.
It really works. My first tubeless tires have just been installed. There are no leaks, and they can hold air. EDIT: A few months later, on an urban ride with my gravel bike, I felt the tire becoming spongy due to a cut in a tubeless tire. When I added air, the tire continued to leak (which I could hear). I became concerned. The sealant sealed the leak in about a minute or less, and I was able to continue riding. I've since ridden a very rough 55-mile gravel ride, and the tire is still holding air. This is fantastic. 2nd Edit: That cut on the tire. I was able to ride it until the tire was completely worn out. Several thousand miles later, the sealed area was no longer an issue. Speaking of self-assurance, Note: Because I will wear out a rear tire in one season, I just add a little every couple of months rather than cleaning and refilling.
I've driven thousands of miles with this sealant and have never been stranded on the side of the road fiddling with tubes. It seals much better than Stans and lasts much longer. You can add sealant without even unmounting the tire if you use Orange Seal (or other) threaded stems. br>br>A reliable tubeless tire setup with Orange Seal is the safest way to ride, as there are no blowouts or pinch flats that could cause a crash, and you won't get stuck in hazardous places messing with tires when conditions are unfavorable. br>br>Instead of messing with tires, Orange Seal will keep you riding. br>br>I didn't say anything about how to use it because it's so easy to pour or inject, then inflate (often with just a track pump). Refresh every few months by adding a few OZs, pumping, spinning, and riding.
