hi  all 

I  was wondering this morning, 

Has anybody ever tried shield tyre jack as a quick repair just to  finish the race.

I  know its not a best but worked wonders  for a quick fix on my  motocross bike,  would it not do  the same for a MTB tire?

Works well. I've used Michelin and sportsman's warehouse versions to good effect.

You do have to clean most of it out if you top up with sealant again....

I have tried a few times on MTB with the car tyre stuff, it didn't work. The flats leaked anyway. It seems to be foamy and not sticky.

 

The LBS (who I trust) swears by the smaller tins that are bike specific. Reckons in the triathlons that this is all the guys take with them. They cost a bit more, like R100 a small tin. You need to shake it properly first before you apply it, otherwise just gas comes out.
