  1. It's time to top up my tyre sealant and I'm wondering what the best sealant is for South African conditions? I've read online that Orange Sealant is great (although I've never seen it in SA stores) and apparently Stan's is crap. I've had some success previously with Enduro Seal. What's your experience and what do you use?
  2. Been to Enduro at Hakahana and saw that 90% was using Tyre Juice. Spoke to Paul at Epic Sports and they now just stock Tyre Juice. Hatfield Cycles recommend Tyre Juice. They even say "mix it with No Flats (that blue stuff)" Any Comments/Feedback? I am tired of Stans as I always end up with a rubber ball in a week. No bombs, no leaks, nothing!
  3. Hi Anyone here tried making homemade tyre sealant ? where did you get your latex liquid and how much more or less for 1lt ? did you use slime (green stuff) , glitter or both ? what antifreeze did you use ? the concentrate or the already mixed versions ? anything that i might need to add or that i am forgetting ?
  4. Do these products actually work? I have bought a few cans from Chris Willemse and they look good. Has anyone used this type of product in a race or training? For those that don't know, it is a can with sealant and compressed air inside, supposed to inflate and seal your tire at the same time. They have been around for years in motor cars.
  5. Hi Guys. So we have a few demo Tires we want to cut with glass and stick it full of thorns. But how fun will it be if you can't be part it. So here it is... you have the opportunity tell us what you want us to put through the tyre. And we will watch it seal. all the nasty stuff that made you walk home or had to call your Liefie to come pick you up. We will make a video of this and post it on the Bike Hub On Friday Morning. We will be using the TUFO C S3 Tubular Clincher 24mm for this experiment with some Velowurks Sealant and TUFO Extreme Sealant
  6. It's pretty pathetic that I don't know how to do this by now but I'd really appreciate some pointers. I have an XC bike that had a tubeless conversion done to the stock standard Jalco XCD22 rims. I was going down a steep decent the other day and when i came up the other side the rear wheel burped (?) and completely lost all air. I tried pumping it back up vigorously with my floor pump to no avail. So my question is simple: how do you reseal the tyre's bead in this situation where it's completely flat? I'll need to get some more sealant as it blasted out a lot. I'm just wondering how i go about resealing it so the new sealant (and air) doesn't just come out.
  7. Discovered a new technique yesterday messing around with some new sealant. My LBS is selling this really cheap sealant (looks a bit like Stans actually). Gently squeezed 50 ml into a previously punctured road tube using a small syringe and plastic tube. The sealant goes in Presta valve without blocking it. Pump to 8 bar inside the tire and give it a spin. Voila, this morning the tire still at 8 bar. What are your tricks to fix punctures and stop wasting old tubes?
  8. Hi, Which of the consumables, like lube and sealant do you use the most. Does you LBS always have stock? Thanks Pieter
  9. First Look Friday is an introduction to the products that we are currently testing for review. This week we're previewing the Rocky Mountain Trailhead, Maxxis Minion DHR II and Aggressor tyres, Cadence CarboFuel slated chocolate caramel bar, and Ryder sealant. Click here to view the article
  10. Hey Guys, My bike is about 5 months old now, and did the conversion to tubeless the same day i purchased it. I have the Chaoyand Hornet tyres fitted with this tubeless conversion. I got my 1st thorn that i took out, with the hope that the sealant will seal it as it should. To my surprise that was not the case, the sealant just seeped out, so i spun the tyre, rode with bike, and it just didn't want to seal. Now I'm not sure, must the sealant be replaced or was it just not the proper sealant put in, to begin with? In the 5 month of owning the bike, its done about 1500km's of all weather, all terrain, mainly road though. Your advice would appreciated.
  11. Stan’s NoTubes is excited to introduce a new sealant, a new in-house R&D division and a new logo as it celebrates 15 years in business. Click here to view the article
  12. It's Friday.. I asked my wife to take my front tyre to the Leigh's Cycle Center at the Pavillion as she was already headed that way and the tyre needed sealant and to be pumped up. Got a phone call back saying it is done and the damage is R209!!! Maybe I am not used to the prices in Durban but last year I got my tyre filled with sealant and pumped up at my LBS in Pretoria East MAHALA! They claim that the bottle of sealant used costs R109 and the labour was R100.. To pump up a tyre! I called them and said that was ridiculous and the guy on the phone replied "OK Cool". I guess I will have to continue my quest to find a LBS in Durban... Maybe It's more worthwhile to trek up the hill to Greg Minaar's in PMB once a month.
  13. I've noticed that my tyres seem to be sweating sealant I don't loose pressure it just looks odd, I am sure it's the stans leaking through... Anybody else every experienced this?
  14. Hi Guys and Gals, First time i will be putting sealant in my mtb tyres, took it to cycle lab and got it back with flat tyres. It had Stans in it before i took it to them ( not impressed as you can tell). So i need some guidance please; - Can i use a different type of sealant, Ryders? - Is there a trick to this? Do i do it from flat or from with air in them? Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
