What sealant for tubeless?

trener1 · #1 06-13-2019, 04:46 PM

I recently put some tubeless on my road bike and am curious about what the consensus is for sealant for the road?.
I have been running Stans on my MTB for years and have never had any issues but I understand that some people think it might be to thin for. the higher pressures on the road, so just want to see what people are using.

Big fan of Orange Seal here. I've used Stan's many times though, much easier to come by.

I’m using the Conti sealant. I used Stan’s before. Both work.

Orange seal here, comes with a little thingy to put the fluid direct into to tire, much simpler application

I was on Stans. Worked great but using orange seal endurance now. Has also been working pretty great.

good feedback.

i have been convinced to try tubeless on my gravel bike and i think i'm going to set them up this weekend.

Another vote for Orange Seal Endurance. Cheap and works great.

Stan's or Orange Seal work great.

We experimented with the hot-shot Finish Line sealant when it first came out but it didn't seal as promised.

Plus one for Stans.

I ask because I just set my bike up tubeless a couple of weeks ago and got a puncture the other day that Stans isn't sealing.

Orange Seal Endurance. The quart size “shop” bottles are the move after you have the first 16oz bottle with the applicator tube.

Could be that you need a plug on a serious puncture.

Its important the shake the bottle well before using it.
Both Stan's and OS work about the same, OS might be a little better for larger punctures however seems to dry out faster than Stan's

Concur.. it's basically all the same stuff - liquid latex + nontoxic anti-freeze + chunkies. There's even home brew recipes out there.

Finishline non-latex is garbage and they should refund anyone who bought it.
