Questions & Answers
The tire sealant is most effective at low temperatures, but less so at high temperatures (above 85 degrees Fahrenheit). The temperature is 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The average high temperature in the winters in my area is in the 40s, so I don't get many below-freezing temperatures.
In a typical 29er wheel, I use 2 or 3 oz. For my 4. I use 4 oz. tires on my 6 inch fat bike and 29x3 (29) bikes.
How often you need to add sealant to the tire depends on where you live (how hot it is) and whether or not you have any punctures in the tire; I usually only need to add an ounce every 6 months or so. It rarely exceeds 80 degrees for more than 3 months out of the year. Where I live, it snows 4 months out of the year, and the sealant level in one of my tires has dropped to about half of what it was a year ago. br>br>I personally like to refresh the sealent every year to a year and a half or so, as it loses some of its sealing efficiency over time.
Stan's can also be used in tubes. It's a matter of getting it in. If you have the injector tool, Schroeder valves are simple to use because they have a standard removable core and a larger opening. Presta valves are more difficult to fill because of their narrower valve, but as long as they have a removable core (note. Not all of them do. Only the higher-quality tubes appear to have this effect. Consider the continent of Europe.

TIRE SIZE: 5" TIRE SIZE: 5 TIRE SIZE: 5 I just wanted to give it five stars and call it a day, but Amazon requires a description. So instead, I'll share my mother's secret chocolate chip cookie recipe (which, Mom, isn't so secret any longer!). br>br>4 softened butter cubesbr>2 heaping cups dark brown sugar (packed, then heap that shiz)br>12 cups white sugarbr>2 tablespoons vanillabr>1 12 teaspoon saltbr>1 12 teaspoon baking sodabr>3 eggsbr>6 cups flourbr>1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips sweet or sweet)br>br>Mix ALL INGREDIENTS BY HAND, EXCEPT FLOUR AND CHIPS (trust me, mixing by hand improves the flavor). br>Then, by hand, stir in the flour and chips. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 9 minutes. On a cookie sheet that had not been greased, it took 11 minutes. Take advantage of the valuables.
Note: Because the recipe makes a lot of cookies, you might want to cut it in half.
Stan's NoTubes Tire Sealant is fantastic and does a fantastic job. is simple to work with When I was a kid in the 1980's, I recall using tire/tube sealant. It had gotten out of hand. It was completely dehydrated. Cleaning up was a pain in the neck, especially when you had to repair a puncture that the sealant had failed to seal. None of these things have happened to me when using Stan's NoTubes sealant. br>br>Because I was sick of pinch flats, I decided to go tubeless on my mountain bike. After reading and watching several reviews, I decided on Stan's. a comparison Stan's has been in business for a long time, and their merchandise is reliable. (All of their products) are reasonably priced. To complete the transformation, I also purchased their rim tape. br>br>Because my rims weren't tubeless ready, I removed the manufacturer's rim tape and applied two layers of Stan's rim tape before installing valve stems. I made a fist. My primary concern was that my rims had valve stem adapters on them, preventing me from using Presta valves. When installed into the rim, these adapters have a split in them to allow for compression and expansion. However, after the first two layers of tape, there are three more layers of tape to be applied. I pumped up the tire and sealant bubbled out around the stem (I know, that's a lot of sealant, but I wanted to be sure on initial sealing). I was spinning in circles. changed the direction of the wheel/tire turned on its head over and over until the sealant sputtering ceased The second setup proceeded in the same manner as the first. This stuff was extremely effective! br>br>I rotate the wheels once a week or so (depending on how busy I am). If you're looking for a sealant, keep an ear out for it. I add about 1 oz of sealant if it appears to be low (which happens more frequently in the summer). I've never had a problem with the sealant clogging up the valve core (I use a syringe). br>br>I'm glad I went tubeless on my mountain bike. Pinch flats are no longer an option. If you're considering it, go ahead and do it. Stan's is the way to go. You won't save any money if you use gimmicks. br>br>I appreciate you taking the time to read my review; I hope you found it informative.
If you don't believe me, look up some of the crazy stans demo videos. I had a flat on a brand new tube, to be honest. This was ordered by me. I took off the presta valve and poured a few ounces into my 27x2. It began hissing after I rotated two tires once or twice. I let it puddle up at the hiss, and it's sealed in 3 or 4 seconds. Since then, I've ridden that tube a few hundred miles. br>br>I've also been out on the trail and hit something large enough to really lower the pressure, but it still held up long enough to get to the next shop a few miles down the trail. I pumped air into the punctured tube, and it stayed in place for the remainder of the season.
This product was not used as directed. I have an old inflatable boat (zodiac style) that has small leaks in difficult-to-seal seams and other places. I experimented with a variety of external seals, putting in a lot of time and money in the process. I was about to sell the boat when I came across this product and decided to give it a shot (there was nothing to lose). I used this product and aired the boat about a month ago, and it worked perfectly. I'm still holding my breath!.
Both are high-quality items. Stan's gets the nod because it's less expensive and cleaner. br>br>I live in the midst of thorny terrain. If you don't use sealant to protect yourself from those stupid little goat head thorns, your life will be ruined. I laugh in their faces now that I am tubeless. I'm not sure how many I've yanked from my tires. Stan's has never let me down when it comes to sealing a thorn puncture. The 16- Using the oz bottle is simple and convenient.
Watch the YouTube videos to learn how to use it properly. This was extremely simple to use; however, one note: clean the rim and install a new valve if you have access; I did so because I could. I'm going to photograph the instructions side of the bottle in the hopes that it will be useful.
