Ok, I use currently, Conti something tubes, GP4K clinchers, and the pink goop from checkers in the tubes... No punctures, no goop between tyre and tube... Goop inside tube...

I have done it both ways... I never said without removing the core was easy or clean...

You can... I use the cheapie pink Raleigh brand goop from Checkers/Hyper... In my Shamals no less... No punctures...

you will also say Oh My Google... In response to another thread about the effectiveness of liquid tire> sealants, I have heard that ordinary milk works well.

When I was riding my last Clement tubulars, that had poor stitch protectors that caused many pin hole leaks, my tires kept going flat. Knowing about the ability of the butterfat in milk to plug such holes, I poured a few ounces of milk, from a dairy on the Klausen pass in Switzerland, into my tire pump and pumped it into my tires. This solved my problem, but a few weeks later, back home, while riding to Santa Cruz with a bunch of bikies sitting on my wheel, I had a rear blowout and sprayed them with putrid milk, while I had a hard time controlling the bike as it slid around on the flat tubular like ice. This was my encounter with sealant and it taught me that Sealants are about as slick as butter inside a tube. You can try that by just feeling the slipperiness of a tube that has the stuff inside. Are you sure your tale didn't originate from my experience. The event sounds so similar. bob_the_builder2008-05-19 03:38:48

OMG... From having posts and entire threads reported and then deleted to becoming a moderator... That's surreal... (edit) Actually it's not. It's what I've come to expect from this forum. bob_the_builder2008-05-19 01:40:55

So cutting away at the offending bit of shoe is not good?
