Bennie Dikwiel Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I recently purchased a TT bike for doing triathlons, but I was wondering if one would put tyre sealant in the tyres of a TT bike or not Are you looking at doing the Trans Baviaans on you TT in sub8 ?
Azonic Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I believe it has to be specially made for tubeless rims and tyres, to go tubeless on a roadbike. I don't think it'll work for regular tyres, however, putting some into a inner tube, like 50ml, could work wonders though...
Cassie Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 IF you can get it in there!! It can only be good....good luck trying and let us know.
trekpostal Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I use Bontrager sealant in my tubbies - 30ml is enough to seal punctures

I say go for it and let us know.I'm clueless, but dont roadies have tubeless setups?

I say go for it and let us know.I'm clueless, but dont roadies have tubeless setups? I disagree:road tyres run at much higher pressure than mtb and are much thinner on the casing.If you get a small thorn on a road tyre it sprays sealant for ages before it seals and i am using Joes road sealant that is thicker than normal.Tubeless for road is still very expensive and only a handful of rims are compatible.
Capricorn Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 aaah.. that makes lots of sense Gummi. Totally didnt factor in that air pressure, even though mentioning it. however, once it does seal, it's bomb and go? better than struggling to change the tube on the go?
jonnow Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 The tyre pressure does concern me, WRT the sealant going everywhere once there is a puncture. I think I will speak to the guys at the shop and see what they recommend.
Chubba Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 should/can you put tyre sealant in road tyre tubes?
