DaLoCo Posted April 19, 2011 Share How do I get sealant into road tubes? Syringe and let the sealant seal the hole again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaeTrewBrowne Posted April 19, 2011 Share you have to remove the valve core from the valve (make sure the core doesn't fall into the tube!!!) hold the back of the valve so it doesn't slip in but leave enough gap for the sealant to go in the tube. 2oz Stans sealant bottle screws nicely onto the valve and squeeze into tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted April 19, 2011 Share Why do you want to do it.By the time the sealant seals your tyre is down to 2 bar and you wont get it harder.Just ride with a spare tube as some patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaeTrewBrowne Posted April 19, 2011 Share oh then tip the valve upside down to get the core back to the top and screw it back in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeTurbo Posted April 19, 2011 Share Get yourself some Serfas tyres and you won't need sealant. These days, I ride over glass without the thought of a puncture even entering my head - yes, even when I'm not wearing my helmet / helmit / helmut.

Have Serfas already...it seems the Vredesteins where a lot more puncture resistant. I have an old tube Emo Kid, will test the theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuxstir Posted April 19, 2011 Share Why do you want to do it.By the time the sealant seals your tyre is down to 2 bar and you wont get it harder.Just ride with a spare tube as some patches that is so not true. I put sealant in my tubes. I know my front tire currently has a glass cut. Its sealed and hasn't needed air for the last 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted April 19, 2011 Share that is so not true. I put sealant in my tubes. I know my front tire currently has a glass cut. Its sealed and hasn't needed air for the last 2 weeks. At what pressure do you ride your road tyres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike xtreme Posted April 19, 2011 Share i would also say ride with a spare tube due to pressure to hi the slime doe's not really work the way it should but there are a few brand names going to release hi pressure sealant's soon that will go threw the valve easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted April 19, 2011 Share I have even tried the No Flats road version and it stays at about 3 bar.If you are 65 kilos you may get home but any heavier and you will push It just sprays out like water @ 6bar http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=34010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frail4Life Posted April 19, 2011 Share I use SLUDGE. ROAD ISSUE. No hassles. FOR TUBES get CONTINENTAL with REMOVABLE VALVE. SIMPLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted April 19, 2011 Share I use SLUDGE. ROAD ISSUE. No hassles. FOR TUBES get CONTINENTAL with REMOVABLE VALVE. SIMPLE. Now that is an advertisement NOT to buy Sludge. You had 3 punctures on the way back from Kleinmond. Since we know about your punctures, the Sludge clearly does not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTB_Roadie Posted April 19, 2011 Share I use continental tubes in my training wheels with Stans, remove the valves, got a nice big injection, pour some stans in a cup, suck about 10ml up and inject it through the removed valve top..works like a bomb, had no flats so far...

Nobody Posted April 20, 2011 Share How do I get sealant into road tubes? Syringe and let the sealant seal the hole again? A syringe will not work. The sealant will "seal" causing teh syringe to block.Try this: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/97828-presta-valve-puncture-proof-tubes/page__p__1321865__hl__oko__fromsearch__1?do=findComment&comment=1321865 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
