johannrissik Posted April 1, 2014 Share It's a yoke.1. Mr Tsai is pulling your chain.2. I tried telling the story to my Crossmarks and they gave me a the usual non-plussed look.The last delamination I can remember seeing was a Bontrager 29r tyre in 2007.....and zzzippp...open goes the can of worms. I'm outta here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikethebike234 Posted April 1, 2014 Share This information was around in 2005 Sorry I did not realise that I was jumping up and down about something that everyone knows about..I put it down to my noobnes then.... especially as far as tubeless goes, so what does one do? hunt down a sealant that doesn't have the said ingredients? or just go what the heck and use any old sealant...?

GoLefty!! Posted April 1, 2014 Share generally I avoid Maxxis tyres. That usually solves the problem.The other culprit is Specialized. Not sure why these don't like ammonia.I use Hutchinson, Continental and Michelin. None have had a problem with Ammonia based sealants. Vredestein and Kenda was also trouble free Edited April 1, 2014 by GoLefty!! nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannrissik Posted April 1, 2014 Share Apologies, I thought you were yoking, really. Just use a sealant. And ride. There's more crap talked about tubeless and sealant than could ever be good for cycling. Greybeard and nonky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vredestein and Kenda was also trouble freegreat after I spent all that money on these tyres ....oh well at least they were on special. I suspect it may just be a way for tyre companies to get out of their warranty obligations. We'll see what happens then if they fall apart you'll read about it here... nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipV Posted April 2, 2014 Share I said it in the other thread you posted as well. Caffelatex sealant will give you piece of mind. Just don't use a co2 bomb to seal the tyre. go to your local garage. Slimepro is also a good alternative Maxxis was prone to delaminating, maybe they have solved it in the meantime? other brand that delaminated on me was an Intense Tyre, it took me forever to get all the latex out of my leg hair.

Vredestein and Kenda was also trouble free Been riding Maxxis for years. Had Geax and Scwalbe tyres before and they don't compare to Maxxis IMO. Granted, they're heavy but I haven't had a single puncture (touch wood!). And I've also used Stans and never had a problem. johannrissik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterF Posted April 2, 2014 Share I've been using Stans sealant in Maxxis Crossmark Lust tyres for about 3 years now with no problems at all. The only issue I have is that in summer the Stans seems to dry up quite quickly. johannrissik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCD Posted April 8, 2014 Share Various Maxxis Crossmark LUST and IKON EXO with Stans since 3500km... Hundreds of punctures and not a single flat... And no other issues either...just my 2c johannrissik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
