Elvis Posted October 24, 2008 Share I'm a roadie doing a bit of Mountain biking over the last few weeks. Love it. But I hate the flats. What's the best tyre sealant to use, and how much do you put in. I am currently using the green slime stuff, but I already had two flats...

Mudsimus Posted October 24, 2008 Share Do a cheap tubless convertion. Do a search on the hub. You'll get less punctures and enjoy you're riding so much more. Otherwise try sludge sealant...the yellow bottle. Those stuff will seal anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niterider Posted October 24, 2008 Share Get a Stan's conversion. Best money ever spent on my MTB. Haven't fixed a puncture in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern Posted October 24, 2008 Share Stan's is crap! Get the tubeless conversion, but lash Oko in there. That's the good stuff! Lasts longer than Stans and no flats for gwunzillions of happy miles.intern2008-10-24 02:39:22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasts longer than Stans and no flats for gwunzillions of happy miles.[/quote'] Ok, sorry. I haven't done a gwunzillion miles yet. Still no problems though. Also tried Joe's on another set of wheels, but found it didn't hold pressure as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contaminated Haggis Posted October 24, 2008 Share Hi Henri, I use Joe's sealant and find it to be good stuff. I still ride tubes as I cannot warrant the cost to benefit ratio of tubeless tyres. Hope this helps ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted October 24, 2008 Share Oko, is that the stuffs name. Are there other tubeless conversions than Stans. Thats R550 for two rims strips and a bottle of sealant - crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlek Posted October 24, 2008 Share I vote Oko aswell but put a bit of stans or joes in there so that it runs freely in the tyre and doesnt gunk up in one spot and cause the wheel to have a heavy spot also the Choopless conversion as explained here on the hub is a great idea i use it and so far no problems i also have connections fro those ever scarce 20" road bike valve tubes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Oko is cool, I use it on the hondazooki, for the MTB I filled both my tubes with :http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/user_images/103/135103_UAKS-Tyre_jack.JPG And I carry a can with me... no puntures yet... (had one slow one, but the gunk sealed it anyway) TNT12008-10-24 02:44:31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
