T-Bob Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Just wondering if anyone has used a non latex tubless goo or even if one is available. Had a massive reaction to slime in a pair of wheels I bought recently. Welts where it'd touched the skin, swollen & closed up eye (where I'd rubbed my face after just handling the tyre) and throat closed up nicely. I do have a latex allergy (open season on condom jokes!) and didn't think as I'd previously just had the goo swapped out when I had a service and that they seem to be latex based never really occurred to me. I did see a report recently about a bright green new tubless solution out of the U.S. that was getting rave reviews but couldn't find it again.
Odinson Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Easy - get some Joe's Eco Sealant. No latex, ammonia and all the other crap you find in most sealants. http://www.joes-no-flats.com/?categoryId=12881
Sepia Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Also try PS2 Tyre Fluid as it is water based. (it also works like a charm)
DJR Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Btw, please get the allergy checked out and get yourself a Medic Alert bracelet. Serious life threatening latex allergic reactions have been recorded and the first thing the paramedics or the medical staff will do after a bike crash is to handle you with latex gloves.

Have that one locked and loaded already. Too many 'woah, hold on there Mr Dentist / Doc / Mechanic/ dustman / Nurse / Blood Taker etc' is that a latex glove on your out stretched hand because that is going to end badly!' conversations already had. That bracelet is there to hold the fort if I get a donk on the melon and can't dodge the rubber. I actually carry non latex gloves in my pack in the same poc pac as my ID, phone and have in big black marker "Latex Allergy - non latex gloves for emergency use" written on it. Not sure what the protocol is if I get knocked out and abducted by rampant nympho's who want to practice safe sex while I'm out cold! Guess I'll just have to wear it.... literally.
Matchstix Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 It's a shame latex makes your throat close up, otherwise the swelling could have worked to your advantage if you get attacked by rampant nympho's
Wyatt Earp Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I just have to wonder how much it makes the voël swell .
T-Bob Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 I just have to wonder how much it makes the voël swell . Enough... that can be a bonus for the lady in my life until she has to start thinking about mouth to mouth or a straight ball point pen, diy tracheotomy!

You're well sorted then! Now we're just holding thumbs for the abduction ......
