News bot Posted April 13, 2022 Share Tubeless tyre set-ups can be tricky, or rather messy, for home mechanics. Which is why Squirt Cycling Products have created the Squirt SEAL Tyre Sealant 120ml Easyfill Pouch system. It allows for spill free top-ups of tubeless tyre sealant, leading for more hours of puncture-free riding and cycling enjoyment. “As cyclists ourselves we’re all to […]View full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbyB Posted April 13, 2022 Share Its about time that someone came up with this great idea.... More power to the cyclists (LBS's might not agree)! Hairy, DieselnDust and dasilvarsa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasilvarsa Posted April 13, 2022 Share Nice Packaging Should Sell. Multiple Top Ups Makes Tyres Heavy and Off Balance. I like to "Mine Out" All the Dried Latex before Topping Up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2fly Posted April 13, 2022 Share I happily use this. Did 2 wheels yesterday and did not spill one drop. Used my floor pump for one but the other, being an existing tubeless tyres velcroed together a bit and had to go to service station for air....

Steady Spin Posted April 13, 2022 Share A home mechanic that can’t do his own tubeless work needs a bit of practice. No fancy and honestly wasteful packaging is going to fix that. Nothing wrong with the solution that Enduro Seal has. Reused that bottle and tube so many times. tubed, INDABUSCHE, MTBRIDER1234 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also used the smaller dispensing bottle over and over again for the last 3 years and just decant from the 1 L. Squirt got it so right with their lube....I can't help thinking this is a bit of "change for the sake of change" a bit like the Lubretto...but that's just my opinion... tubed and MTBRIDER1234 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted April 13, 2022 Share I’ve been using the 50ml Stans’ bottle as my refill option. Remove the valve core and “inject”. Goes with me on all my off-road rides. Pikey, fanievb and Thug 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubed Posted April 14, 2022 Share it looks a bit like those gel wrappers still lying in the gutters at the top of Suikerbossie weeks after the Cycle Tour........more convenience, more unnecessary waste. ironically the packaging says "less plastic waste" chalk up another one to the greenwashing marketing dept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not reusable so overall it's MORE plastic. Change for the sake of change. Buying a 1 Litre with a dispensing bottle is pretty much all the packaging you'll need....Squirt you got it wrong. 😃 tubed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The laminate packaging is reusable for other purposes, unlike the single-use plastic bottles. Yet it is robust enough to be stored in a toolbox or packed in a bike packing bag without risk of leakage. For the distributors the benefits of the Squirt SEAL Tyre Sealant 120ml Easyfill Pouch include that the geometry of the pouches increases bulk packing efficiency by as much as 53%. This translates into cheaper logistics and increased energy efficiency for transportation. Compared to Squirt Cycling Products’ previous 150ml bottles, the packaging of the laminate pouches weighs 33% less, which further reduces transportation costs.

I can reuse and recycle the plastic bottles. The laminate plastic is aimed at convenience, ie you have created a product which is aimed at throwaway. I get your efficiency in transport - that's more margin and profits to Squirt. Its a idea we should move away from - not market as an environmentally considerate product.

The 120-millilitre flexible laminate packaging, which can be up-cycled into material for use in road surfaces, roof sheeting and construction decking is filled with Squirt Cycling Products’ biodegradable SEAL Tyre Sealant. The packaging features clear, easy-to-follow, instructions on how to top-up one’s tyre sealant using the Easyfill Pouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter-morgan Posted April 14, 2022 Share I had so much issues with squirt seal tyre sealant, battled a full Saturday, went to LBS got STANs, first go, the tyre seated and stayed inflated, I have a half a bottle left, too scared to try it again. dasilvarsa, MTBRIDER1234 and SwissVan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is actually going to recycle that? It isn't like South Africa has the biggest recycling culture. Stockman and MTBRIDER1234 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
