Anyway, now to wash down a sealant covered biked. 🤦♂️ Bliksem. Sorry to hear about this. was it the original or enduro version? and how big was the cut? I had the same not long ago - had to use one of those really fat plugs to get home. no sealant on earth was going to help a glass gash that size. 3 hours ago, Thomo said: I wonder if this could've contributed... need to check if there are any dates on the the bottle. 100% and I think this might actually be the main reason Orange seal works. It’s fresh. Ordering the stuff is a total nightmare - they make it per order to ensure that we only have the freshest sealant to offer. Depending on demand and the season this order time period can take a very long while for an order to fulfil Edited January 22, 2023 by Furbz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted January 23, 2023 Share Ok, seems I may have myself to blame. That said, will definitely pay more attention to this when purchasing sealant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not the perfect sealant for high pressure tires(over 3 bar) rather use the road version (Original version) Endurance is better suited for MTB and Gravel applications. The Original is more suited for high pressure - but does not last as long as Endurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasilvarsa Posted January 23, 2023 Share Tubeless Sealant Works well on Thorn Punctures which is a High Percentage of All Punctures in RSA. Glass and Metal Object Punctures it Does Not Really Work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing so many brands in store but not sure which ones are worth anything. An old thread but still very relevant. Not quite a thought on sealant, but tire selection-> I recently went back to a road tubeless setup and what a journey it was. I do not recommend the continental GP5000 product for two reasons: 1-that the TLR / TR range are not compatible with all tubeless road rims. They don’t seat evenly on all rims and will appear un-true on the truist wheel 🙃 2-that if you needed to put a tube in if the wheels had an unrecoverable puncture, they will not come off the rim outside of a workshop with mega tire levers. Road side you will need to call an Uber to get home. I actually ended up going back to the giant OEM tubeless tires that came with my propel, and they “just work”.

Thomo Posted February 16, 2023 Share Some rim/tyre combos do seem to work better than others, with hookless rims complicating things even further. 🙈 I haven't tried any Conti options yet and will certainly approach with caution given what you've said. 🙃 Tubeless certainly is a journey with very few dull moments. 🤣 Kom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W@nted Posted February 16, 2023 Share Haha yip some weird tire/rim combos. My last set of tubed gp5000’s were a mission to get on/off the rims. I have now gone tubeless using Pirelli Pzero TLR and could not be happier. Kom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My journey to GP5000 TL was a misery. had a few 100km on, got a neat sidewall gash and that was tickets. I now ride Spez Roubaix Pro 2Bliss 32cs. It's proper-bliss... even did Eroica on them. Seat well, wear well and lower pressure/higher volume works well for me Kom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
