Quick sealing(while seating and on the trail) - Stan's / Joe's

Last longer - Fugit / Slime pro / Oko

 

Slime seems to work about as well out on the trails, I remember cutting my tyre with tube on a piece of glass, about a 6mm gash through both and sealed up almost instantly. I religiously believed in slime but when I went tubeless I thought that you had to use Stan's or tubeless specific fluid so I never tried with slime but now it turns out that you can use it I'm going back to it. But I'd agree that in most situations Stan's may seal up holes marginally quicker but not significantly so.

 

I think the drawback with slime is you may need to use a bit more and it's heavier than Stan's?

Sure marginally quicker...my point is just that if you already running low pressures in your tyres, you don't want to lose a single breath so to speak.My biggest gripe is trying to get a seal going with TR tyres using the thicker stuff....especially if you want to do it with a footpump.
