sadamhussein Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Has anyone used Stans (not other brands like Slime etc.) with inner tubes, and how well did it work? I am embarking on a project that requires this, and want to know if I'm wasting my time.
dirtypot Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 It'll work for sealing up punctures, but won't help for pinch flats...
V12man Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 It works fine as long as you can remove the valve core on the tube to get the sealant in.
Ed-Zulu Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I'm a long time user of this method...as Pot and V12 noted, all true... Entire families bikes run Stans filled tubes
PeterF Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I have even used Stans to repair punctures in a soccer ball and two rugby balls.
scotty Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Plus 1 for it working, sealed many tubes this way.
Ampandy Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Zip strap a rubber tube onto the valve then fill the tube. Works well and makes filling a breeze
sadamhussein Posted April 21, 2015 Author Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks for the feedback. Do you leave thorns in as with tubeless tires, or pull them out?
PeterF Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I would suggest pulling thorns out as if left in they could cause the hole in the tube to enlarge over time and become impossible to seal.
popcorn_skollie Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Tubeless sealant inside downhill tubes works well for me. Can't remember the last time I had a flat.
