Me rida my bicycle Posted July 6, 2018 Share I run 100ml per wheel 29er 2.35 and have never had a puncture/flat. It's more important at how frequently you check it and if you only ride once a week spin the wheels at least 1 other time and check every 3 months. Well that's what I do.

ChrisF Posted July 6, 2018 Share Bit of a twist on the original question - Bikeshop fitted my tubeless tires .... NOT sure if they used STANS or "sludge" ..... WHAT do I use to top it ??? JIP - I have tried to confirm with them what they used ,,,, have not gotten an answer from them, as yet. Do I lift the tire, wash out and start over ? Do I go for STANS ? Do I go for "sludge" ? I have previously used sludge, and there still is sludge in my commuter and in Maritz's bike tires, ie 2 out of 3 is confirmed as sludge. And I KNOW the sludge works. Have certainly removed enough thorns to properly test it ... PS - if there is a definitive thread on this, please post a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's aways a mess to take Tubeless tyres off and refit so I do it as little as possible. Check sealant by removing valve and use a toothpick or wire to see how much sealant is still left.

As for brand, I'm not gonna buy a no name - but I can't say I've had an issue with any of the bigger brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted July 7, 2018 Share Thanks gents. your preference for Stans vs Sludge ? I started out with Sludge, and have good experience with it .... but I see Stans being punted widely. Is it a better product, or just more aggressive marketing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like how no one refers to a hydration pack as a hydration pack, but rather as a Camelbak - even when it's not a Camelbak. In both cases the original is pretty dam good though.
