Orange Seal Regular Formula Bicycle Tire Sealant for Road, Mountain Bike, CX, BMX, and Tri Bikes

Since switching from tubes to tubeless, I've been loyal to Orange Seal and have enjoyed every mile of it. In my 29" x 2" x 2" x 2" x 2" x 2" x 2" x 2" x 2" x 2" x 2" x 2" x 2" x 2" 2" tires, and every six months, I inspect the inside of my tire or at the very least top it off. When I go bikepacking, I pack a few extra ounces. br>br>On a bike ride from Geneva, Switzerland to Split, Croatia, I used this sealant in temperatures as low as 28 degrees Fahrenheit on a few nights and as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit on a few days. My journey spanned approximately 1,100 miles. I was aware that Orange Seal's below-freezing sealant is recommended, but I hadn't anticipated the weather. The sealant did, however, work on a few shards of glass and rocks. br>br>The most significant disadvantage of this sealant is the difficulty in cleaning dry sealant out of the tire, but I am fortunate in that I am able to wear out my tires before this becomes an issue. The time I had to do it, on the other hand, was a chore. br>br>Since going tubeless, I've had to use a lot of tire plugs, but it's a lot faster and less expensive than changing inner tubes. Since switching to tubeless, the only time I've needed an inner tube was when I went for a ride with noticeably low tire pressure. I was aware that my tire pressure was low, but I ignored it because I was on a well-worn trail, but I managed to break the rim on a rock. It had been about 6,500 miles since that time. Since then, I've been checking my tire pressure before almost every ride and haven't had that problem. If something gets spilled, it's fairly simple to clean up.

This is ideal if you want to wear out your tires in a single season. It's impossible to beat. However, if you're anything like me, you don't get as much riding in as you'd like because you have kids and have to share your time with them. As a result, you'll wear out your bike in two to three seasons. As a result, at the end of each season, I must clean them out. Because we are in the middle of winter, I remove the old sealant and replace it with new sealant when spring arrives. Orange seal, on the other hand, is a nightmare. It leaves a thick layer of latex on the bead, the inside of the tire, and any other surface it comes into contact with. The rim isn't too bad, but the tire takes a long time to prepare. I'm currently using Finish Line's new non-latex based sealant and carrying around plugs for anything that doesn't seal, and it's been great so far. A quick rinse is all that is required for cleanup. However, I am not here to promote Finish Lines. For the issue of clean-up, I gave it three stars. I'd use this stuff all day if I had the good fortune to wear out my tires every season.

I've used both Stan's and Orange Seal, but I chose Orange Seal solely on the basis of recommendations from my local bike shop. My 29-inch mountain bike wheels have 2 ounces of grease. My wife punctured her tire a few weeks ago, leaving a 1/4-inch-long puncture/slice. The tire threw a lot of OS onto my wife and her bike for several revolutions, then sealed up somewhat, allowing my wife to finish the last eight miles of her ride. The slice was bad enough that I couldn't fix it with a patch, so I replaced the tire, but my wife made it back to civilization over 8 miles of rough terrain with plenty of air in the tire.

It's wonderful to be able to go for bike rides in the middle of nowhere without having to worry about getting tube flats. I did a 21-mile ride with a rear tube and a front tube that had been Orange Seal'd, and the rear tube failed while the front was still fully pressurized. I've now Orange Seal'd both of them, but no flats yet. There were a few punctures, but they were quickly repaired. br>br>I do have to add air on occasion, and initial setup can range from simple to mind-numbingly difficult if you don't have access to an air compressor. I did the rear with a hand pump, but after a lot of futile pumping on the hand pump, I had to go to a gas station to air the front. br>br>Wishing you a safe and enjoyable ride!.

So far, I'm pleased with the results. I've used Stans in the past and had small punctures where the stans simply spit out of the puncture and the tire flattened. If I didn't ride for more than two weeks, I had to keep inflating the tires. Stans were also constantly drying out and forming a ball. As a result, I made the decision to give this product a shot. Now is the time. br>br> No more dried-up stans balls in the tire because the product stays liquid. br>I noticed numerous small bubbles on the tire as a result of the new sealant filling holes (why didn't the stans fill these?). )br>I don't have to re-enter my password any longer. between rides, re-inflate tires (still need to re-inflate) If it'll be months before I ride again, I'll inflate the amount). There aren't any major drawbacks. br>br> The product is pricier than Stans, and it doesn't go as far as larger mountain bike tires (running schwalbe 2. 35" 27. 5 tires). However, it is preferable to having your ride ruined by a flat tire.

My local bike shop installed cold-weather tires on my fat bike. weather Orange Seal, and it's lasted a long time. sub-zero temperatures during the winter. Temperatures are below zero. For spring and self-care, I went back to regular formula. installed on both fat and lean tire (4. 2"), and in the middle. fat (3. Bikes (2") are available. So far, everything seems to be going swimmingly. Even after a hard ride through some rock gardens, there was no serious burping or leaks. br>br>I recommend getting the bottle with the nozzle and tube built in first. Using an air compressor or an air-filled tire, pre-inflate it. tank- Remove the core from the tubeless valve with a manual pump, then firmly attach the tube from the bottle and squeeze. I was able to change six tubeless tires this way without spilling anything. The Orange Seal cap/tube can be used on new bottles for future installations/fluid top-offs. offs. My only criticism is as follows: br>br> The instructions for how to dispose of old, used, or spilled sealant from Orange Seal (and other brands) are inadequate. The majority of the material is latex and particulate. Many people flush their money down the toilet. I pour mine into a container and then toss it in the trash when it's finished drying.
