You can order online here: https://www.evobikes.co.za/catalogsearch/result/?q=Grand+Prix+5000 Awesome, thank you - I received my shipping confirmation . Hoping they might deliver today, then I'll get to be covered in sealant while I figure out how to do my first road tubeless install.
Thomo Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Awesome, thank you - order placed with some Revo Sealant Looking forward to the all the new Strava PRs!Any experience with Revo.?Still looking for " most suitable sealant" for road tubeless.
Dazshell Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Please say you don't only have 23's...But some of us can only use 23's! Luckily Naas had stock f the 4000's when I was in town in October.
MDJ Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Any experience with Revo.?Still looking for " most suitable sealant" for road tubeless. I will have some experience with it next week and let you know how it goes after a few weeks riding . Andreas recommended Orange Seal, but I can't seem to find that locally fast enough to satisfy my curiosity.

Cool - maybe Naas can help us out by adding some Orange Seal to their next shipment I will see how the Revo Seal goes, seems its all only arriving next week.
MDJ Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) They finally arrived today and I installed them this evening. The installation reminded me once again of how painful it is to fit tubeless road tires onto my Giant SLR rims! Raw thumbs aside they inflated pretty easily and sealed well. I did a short test ride afterwards - they feel awesome v.s the gatorskins, I can notice the improved grip on braking and cornering, they feel similar to schwalbe pro ones imho. Now for the real test - out on the road to see how they handle the year-end glass carnage - running with revo sealant ...

At this point of the year, I can't stomach R1500 on tyres... though my rear is looking a little flat in the middle...
Long Wheel Base Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 But some of us can only use 23's! Luckily Naas had stock f the 4000's when I was in town in October.What bike do you have that can only take 23c? A friend of mine has a propel that can take 25 but only certain brands and models. I think gp 4000 the 25c doesn't fit.
bikebloke Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 not entirely relevent because im in the UK at mo but i just bought a pair of GP500 clinchers for R1400 on special - looking forward to trying them out as replacements for my 4000 s2 s when i get back in jan

Yes, it was the simpler option - I was hoping to receive it before my weekend ride, but only got everything yesterday. https://www.evobikes.co.za/continental-revosealant-1000ml.html Its a 1L bottle so you are welcome to get some from me if you'd like to test. It might be an exercise in cursing if the GP 5000's don't handle glass cuts well though!
