Mongoose! Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Ditto, I would also like to know.I use a paint scraper, but guess I will be flamed for it.
Thomo Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 I use a paint scraper, but guess I will be flamed for it.Tried that - hoping for something more effective/easier.
King_Crispy Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Turn the tyre inside out and peel the old latex off.Wipe with a dry rag and repeat the cycle
johannrissik Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 I use and have used both Stans and Batseal, both work. Two Three Four rules of sealant:1. Avoid using bombs unless absolutely necessary2. Sealant works best when it's inside a tyre. On the shelf it's less useful 3. Don't be shy, use lots4. Top up through the valve folks, you don't want to upset the delicate ecosystem that has evolved inside that tyre.

V18 Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 I use a rough cloth on a dry tyre. Good elbowgrease to get the most off. You want to debulk as much as you can and especially focus on the bead. If not you may end with a wobbly seated tyre. The batseal stuff works well. Bought a big can of it and what I like most us the nonparticulate nature of it. Stans works OK but once you had to use CO2 (which sometimes is the only way to seat a burped tyre) you can't really count on it to work properly. Batseal hasn't let me down yet. Only the ammonia smell that is rather pungent.
Thomo Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 This person seams to know the trick! post-19310-0-69603000-1372489108.jpgImpressive.!!Wish they'd say how though...
Amberdrake Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 best way to clean stans off is Soapy warm water and scrubber sponge.I cleaned my front wheel not so long ago when I trashed tire and was going to try a repair.
King_Crispy Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 You make it sound so easy, yetpeople are having to resort to paint scrapers.!?It is so easy. When the tyre is turned inside out most of the latex has already loosened. Leave the really stubborn stuff as it's probably sealed a nick in the tyre

johannrissik Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Is this latex harvesting a new fashion? Is it something I should be doing?#moeniekrapwaarditniejuknie
Jaco-fiets Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Only time I take off a tyre is when I have to replace it. I just add stans throught the valves about every 8 weeks. Should I be checking and removing dry latex?
