MTB Tyre Sealant Choices


DarrenV

Recommended Posts

I'm using Orange Seal (Endurance).

I don't want to brag and jinx it it the process, BUT, I didn't have a single puncture in about a year of regular riding.

Only replaced/top-up the sealant twice during this time.

Most of these sealants are the same. If you buy it in the big bottles you need to shake it very well otherwise the granules that seal the bigger holes are all left at the bottom and it just spills out the white sticky all over everything like at you first gf and it's a sucks to clean after the fun is over.... (seriously need a different fonts 😜)

I decide to make some according to u tube video.

Startup Costs R257

Formula for 1 tyre in this Order.

Ammonia 20 ml

Rubber(Latex) 40 ml

Anti Freeze (Ethylene Glycol) 40 ml

Water 40 ml

Put 2 Level Tablespoons of Braai Pap Inside the tyre. (It wont go through the Valve)

It's Holding Air Like a Champion (Let's see what happens when a puncture occurs)

Bake at 180 for 35 minutes and let it cool down before removing from the baking tin?

Probably because you literally have pap in your wheel

Deed or Fugit...any takers?

The white cycling specific Fugit is nice. The blue one is thicker, but you might be able to think it with some water or anti-freeze.

Most Sealants are pretty much the same Stuff.

Ethylene Glycol, Latex, Ammonia, Water and Cellulose Fibers , Clay, Synthetic Fibers and Thickeners.

Some Have no Added Ammonia but the Latex has Ammonia.

The Problem with buying sealant is that the sealant on the shelf is usually old.

About a month ago I went through the sealant at Sportsmans and found bottles from 2021.

Also people tend to buy too much as in 1 liter bottles. The Stuff Separates and goes off.

The Ammonia turns to gas and is released into the air and then the latex solidifies in the tyre.

Answer:

Buy only Fresh sealant.

Buy only as much as you need.

Make your Own (Then it's always fresh).
