SwissVan Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Could not find a review of the stuff here and maybe its a bit late or so obviously good that it doesn't need a review. But I had a pleasant surprise from Mr Stans fluid which imho is worth mentioning. THIS STUFF STOOD THE TEST OF TIME I last put Stans fluid in my mtb wheels sometime last year (2012), not sure when exactly but it was definitely at least 9 months ago... Since then due to winter, holidays, injury, laziness ect... had no need to replace the fluid. Last week got a quick albeit small puncture, back tire went flat in a few minutes from a small hole next to one of the center knobs while out riding. Because the sealant had been in for such a long time I did not expect it to work BUT gave it a shot of air from my one and only CO2 bomb and rotated the hole "optimistically" to the bottom.... lo and behold some fluid started coming out the hole... Even though it did not seal initially (probably because there was not enough fluid left) I was impressed that there was enough left to seal the hole when the tire was allowed to stand still Tire was still inflated last night Well done Stans Tjokkits, mudda and johannrissik 3
Stretch Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Is there anything else? Edit....and just in case...that question is rhetorical Edited July 23, 2013 by Stretch
Dicky DQ Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I have tried most of the other stuff out there and to me there is only STANS. Even if it costs the earth.
ChunkyMonkey Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Stans - flipping awesome .... If you can find it....? .................... Cape Town...?
Dicky DQ Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Looks like it is also re branded as WTB now that Stans Owns WTB so look out for either.
Cruz Addict Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Stans - flipping awesome ....I couldn't agree more, have use a couple of the competition products and will never use anything other than Stan's again, works first time every time. Yes it costs more( sometimes) but its worth every cent. I love the stuff.
spinning round Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 You will know its worth when on a trail that extra R10 R20 rand means nothing when stranded .. Stan's the Man.
kosmonooit Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Yup amazing stuff.... I saw it seal a sidewall cut on the Cullinan marathon You should check / service / replace it once a year though.
Wimmas Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Great! I've also only had great experiences with Stan's. It always does what it claims and imho the best sealant on the market.
Vetseun Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Ive tested them all. There is only one sealant that really can do the job. STANS
M L Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Geax is average compared to stans, only last about 3 months - just putting it out there.
Vetseun Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Geax is average compared to stans, only last about 3 months - just putting it out there.Agreed I also tried it
dee_biker Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Nothing else compares to Stans. Tried most of the other stuff out there.
kennyg Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Does it work in road tubulars? I have one that works in the 8-bar range, its thicker than stans but has last 8 months in my tubs so far. Stans sometimes, cant stay sealed initially on the high road pressures. Schnavel 1
