dirtrider Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 That rubber ball indicates an emulsion failure of sorts. Basically, the sticky stuff separated from the dilutant (water and ammonia) and could thus congeal. This has two causes - very old age and high heat or, a CO2 inflation that seems to immediately precipitate the latex from the solution. Joe's and Stan's are functionally the same thing - organic latex preserved with ammonia and diluted with water and re-inforced with some inert fibres. The fact that your Joe's tyre behaved differently from the Stan's one, means they were treated differently. Just like he said , it is the same thing . If you want to do a proper job use either one , I have tested most of these other sealants and they failed !

andretraut Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I would like to recommend Sludge Uniseal. Been using Stans for a while, until I had a bad experience, where a small cut would'nt seal. Inserted some Sludge in the tyre, and the cut was immediately sorted. Would not put anything else in my wheels, and it is made in South Africa, for South African conditions.
leet22 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 +1 For Batseal 4 months and no problems! Even their tubeless kits work first time round!Where can the kit be brought in CT or online and price? The site only has the sealant
Azonic Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Give this stuff a shot okes!https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/100426-latex-tyre-sealant/ This is the only sealant I've been using for the last 4-5 years. If you've never heard of it, its because its never been punted by the manufacturers (friend of mine) at all. The guy that makes it just uses it on his own bikes. I'm picking up the ball and running with it. http://i55.tinypic.com/28cksck.jpg
Mojoman Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 So, all the guys who have used the Batseal kit, how has it held up over time? I see Buycycle has a kit for R379.
xtcman Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Slime pro works well, ryder has come out with there new sealant that rplaces their older "slime". Work with tubes and tubeless, haven't given it a try yet but willing to at just R75 a bottle.
OnTheRicky Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Question on Stans or Joes... Can they be mixed? I got the tubeless conversion free when I bought my bike and they shop I got it from uses either Stans or Joes but they can't tell me which they used on my bike. I had a burp on the weekend and quite a lot of sealant came out, so I want to top it up.
Christie Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 FYI: Stans does well in these tests gemmerbal, Milkman, Goodbadugly and 1 other 4
Guest Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) I have used both, and they worked great! On 2 Feb I was out riding in Benoni, And we did about 70km, I had 7 thorns puncture and then come out, all on my front tyre, Stans sealed all of them, and I made it home with 1.2Bar of pressure left in my tyre.

Dusty Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 FYI: Stans does well in these testsInteresting vid. The cost of the Stans Race sealant makes my eyes water!
Dexter-morgan Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 I have recently purchased the stuff they sell at Sportsman's(stingy, I know it) R90 for 300ml, and so far no issues in either of my mountain bikes.
