post-12586-0-55496700-1405066337_thumb.jpgIve been using Fugit for over two years adn the stuff works great. See attached picture of one year old fugit that I replaced just before sani this year and it was still perfect. Not sure about the price but its cheap

 

 

 

 

Fugit works also by "coating the entire inside of the tyre and it really seals instantly. I have pushed a 4mm wide flat screwdriver into a tyre treated with similar sealant and it sealed immediately.

Some feedback on OKO.... I've had a nail, which left roughly a 3mm hole, which it failed to seal (I plugged it, and it's fine now) , and a devil thorn which let a 1.5mm hole (max 2mm) which it also failed to seal. Tyres are maxxis crossmarks. I was really disappointed. It eventually seals... Like after 3 days of re-pumping the tyre, but could seal it on the trail. I suspect I may have too much into the tyre (about 100ml) or something. I subsequently read that the recommended not exceeding 60ml (although they don't say why).

Fugit has been around for donkey's years, haven't seen it around the shops for awhile though

I was a believer in OKO, it is just to thick and does not flow fast enough to get to the holes, unfortunately there is still noting better than STANS

If it is a water based sealant, why cant you dilute it to get the desired viscosity?

From my experience, it's not just the liquid viscosity, but the particles that are also maybe too big.... It. Just didn't do a good job.

I got a bottle of Fugit at Autozone here in Mokopane a few months ago for a quad tire. Can't remember exactly how much it cost but was about R70-00 for 500ml.

 

Whatever brand it was they had at my local Autozone was only 250ml and was R79, if it was 500ml I'd have taken it.

I'm thinking of adding some glitter and a bit of water... Only because I have 1.5 bottles of OKO that I don't want to waste....

www.tyrefluid.co.za :thumbup:

I struggled to get my continental tyres to stop leaking..tried stans and slimepro..nothing worked. I removed the tyres again, cleaned everything and also cleaned the inside of the tyre with thinners. Added ps2 tyre fluid and after the first ride my tyres sealed perfectly.. PS2 Tyre Fluid is al I will use..R120 for 500ml..great deal.

I have contacted the distributor, who is getting the JHB agent to call me and let me know who retails the stuff... I'll post here once I find out.
