Started using Enduro Seal recently, but found it keeps blocking up my valves, has anyone else had the same issue? Previously I was usibg Stan's and never had any problems, but the Enduro Seal has been causinge real head aches with blocking up my valves

yes, also have that. But strangely only on the rear wheel. Doesnt completely block it, but does make inflating the tyre that little bit more difficult as the air does not pass through as freely.

Strangely enough, it has also only been my rear wheel 🤣 pumping up the tyre isnt really the problem, but I cant check pressures as it doesn't let out any air, I pushed through an old piece of cable inner and it cleaned it out enough to pump up and check the pressure, but the following morning it is blocked up solid again 🙈

I am not sure if anyone has mentioned it, maybe I have mentioned it before "Squirt seal" - STAY AWAY, I hade endless issues, I still have almost a Full bottle in my garage with the bead - anyone that wants it are more than welcome to collect in the east rand - Free.

Quite impossible to clean out, especially with the bead rubbish.  Never again - I agree,

I have been using it for a while, but haven't found that it is especially bad when compared to other sealants.

I will probably get blasted for saying this, but when my valve cores are clogged; I soak them in a solvent like turpentine to dissolve the sealant. Leave it in there for an hour or so and you are good to go.

Taking the tyre off that often sounds like it would be a real pain in the backside, I put new valves in, and they got blocked after 1 ride....

I just unscrew the valve cores, no need to take off the tire luckily, otherwise I would never get round to it haha

The core is not what is getting blocked though, the actual valve body is getting blocked, I can remove the valve core and no air comes out

Oh, I see what you are saying now

You can just use an allen key or a spoke to unclog it, but this is only a temporary fix

I'm using Enduro Seal and I also battled to pump this morning.

ok thats a bit different to what I'm experiencing, for me its the core that it getting blocked.

Perhaps the issue is with your valve ? Have you tried using different ones ?

I always put a bit of light grease on the end of the valve core before I put it in. Seems to help ...
