Tumbleweed Posted September 2, 2008 Share and, no, at low pressure, it won't clog the valve. only when you deflate the wheel does it start clogging up the valve. you running presta or schrader valves? i assume the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGuy Posted September 2, 2008 Share HR sludge is the better to use? But at low pressure it may clog the valve?Not that I have to worry about my tyre pressure' date=' I dont go fast enough to worry about grip in the corners. [/quote'] The wheel must be rotating for the sealant to work. With tubeless tyres you have to keep going when you hear the pssfft pssfft sound, otherwise they will deflate as well. In general the valve will not clog up (for best results the valve should be furthest from the ground when you deflate it)unless you let the air out of the valve while the wheel is still turning, which in itself is a completely different problem... very rare to happen unless you are Mr. Fantastic.

Hog_ Posted September 2, 2008 Share slowbee' date=' no. i have nothing against sludge, but if you're tubeless-compatible, go the whole hog. [/quote'] You called? Slowbee, if your rims are tubeless ready, just pull the tubes out and add sealant! If you're feeling adventurous do it yourself, otherwise, just take it to the LBS.

You may want to put in a tubeless valve /strip before you add sealant etc. ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtrider Posted September 2, 2008 Share Zzzzzzz ok I actaully did read it all and after thinking about it for a while decided to add my very expert advice . Don't even waste your money on buying a "not" so cheap tube with sealant . Do it properly from the start and go No-Tube . The sludge filled tubes wil work fine with big thorns and the likes but get a thorn that just about penetrated the tyre and your sludge filled tube is as usefull as a freezer to a eskimo . And no I did not thumb suck all this crap , I have actually tested it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowbee Posted September 2, 2008 Share thanks for the joko hijack you lot !! prefer liptons as my tea .... DR, going to go the tubeless route. Only way to to learn is eeerrrmmm experience, so will see what happens. Just means I will need to carry two spare tubes .. just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
