Stan’s Race Sealant is definitely worth the small premium over the standard blend. Our heaviest-hitting test riders swear by this stuff – a potent magic formula that heals cuts and makes holes vanish. Stan’s No Tubes Race Sealant is expensive, but contains twice as many sealing crystals and uses bigger particles that can make larger holes air tight. Latex-based and natural, Stan’s is one of the first and best-known tyre sealants. Its popular original formula is proven to work without the familiar issues of drying out prematurely or simply not being able to plug small holes and rips in damaged tyres. Essentially, the Muc-Off No Puncture Hassle Tyre Sealant sits bang slap in the middle of the Silca Ultimate sealant (more effective but more expensive) and the Lifeline Tubeless Tyre sealant (less effective but cheaper). You can't really have too much sealant, but adding more sealant than the sealant brand recommends doesn't provide any benefit to the performance of a tubeless tyre. Putting too much tyre sealant into your tyre wastes both sealant and money and will add unnecessary rational weight to your bike, which can negatively affect the handling of your bike. Can I convert my non-tubeless mountain bike rim to tubeless with tape and valve only or will I need a rim strip? The reason for this effectiveness as a sealant is that coagulation of the latex is activated by air. So when a tyre is punctured, the dramatic release of air causes the liquid part of the sealant to evaporate, leaving behind the latex rubber particles to knit together and clog the hole. What are non-latex tyre sealants?

Pit Stop TNT is a thin sealant and it retained this viscosity when chilled, however we noticed a skin had formed over the sealant when it was heated. Muc-Off No Puncture Hassle 1. Muc-Off No Puncture Hassle If you want the best out there, this is it When it comes to the sealing ability on our road setup, though, the performance was a little off the mark. The sealant claims that it's good for holes up to 6mm in diameter, but presumably, that is referring to the lower pressures of an MTB or gravel system, as we found the sealant unable to plug punctures larger than 3mm at road pressures.Pirelli says the sealant works from 15 to 100psi pressures and in a range of temperatures from -20 to +70 degrees Celsius - and we found that it lasts very well without the need for replacement. Unfortunately due to the slightly unstable nature of all sealants, it is not a fit-and-forget solution. Over time sealant will dry out and, in the case of latex-based sealants, will coagulate into a solid lump reducing effectiveness to almost zero.

Pirelli makes a few versions of sealant, with the P Zero aimed towards road bikes and both Cinturato and Scorpion sealants designed for the larger gravel and mountain bike tyres. The formula itself is not different, but the naming is more about the bottle sizes: the Cinturato is available in a small 125ml quantity and the Scorpion variant is available in three sizes from their 240ml, 1-litre and workshop-sized 5-litre bottle. The Muc-Off No Puncture Sealant is an ammonia-free solution that claims to seal punctures up to 6mm wide. The formula works for pressures ranging from 15 to 80psi, is CO2 compatible, and should last a long time within a huge temperature range.In the event of a puncture, locate the source and rotate the wheel until it is at the lowest point to enable the sealant to begin the process of plugging the hole. Then rotate the wheel until the puncture is at the top. This will allow the air to get to the sealant and enable the sealant to begin coagulating and plugging the hole. If it still leaks air, repeat the process until it works.

Cycling Weekly sat down with founder and president of tubeless sealant maker Orange Seal, John Vargus, to find out his top tips for maximising the efficiency of your sealant. Another sealant stalwart, Orange Seal is a brand with a long history. However, in this test, the results weren't superlative. To test the sealants’ operating temperatures, we put each of them in a freezer set to -18°C and an oven set at 50°C. Not exactly a real-world simulation, but it gave us an idea how the sealants would behave in warmer or colder climates.Stan's No Tubes Race sealant is available in just one size, 946ml, (Quart in US Imperial) and there are some bold claims, including that it will seal punctures “faster and better”, and has twice the particles compared to the standard No Tubes sealant. The sealant uses XL crystals as well as the standard-size particles in the Race version to give better sealant protection - and it should be suitable for use in a wide temperature range, although no exact figures are provided. Muc-Off 's pink logo is nearly synonymous with bicycle cleaning and lubes. Many of its products have adopted the pink colourway, and this sealant is one of them. The pink colour is not just for being cool, though, but it highlights any wounds in your tyre and uniquely shows smaller sealant bungs that might have formed unnoticed under a UV light. Latex-based tubeless sealants are the most common, as natural latex rubber has very effective coagulating properties. Latex itself is an emulsion of extremely small rubber polymer particles in either water or a water-based ammonia solution. It is at the more expensive end of the sealants currently on the market – but its price is by no means an outlier. No other sealant we had on test was able to plug such a large hole and many failed on much smaller diameters.

Still, 6mm is a very good performance – better than any of the other sealants we tested except Silca – and especially at these higher pressures we tested at. Those two brands happen to be pretty widespread and people reported similar results. Other brands may mix just fine as well, but no brands are testing others and making recommendations. There's no incentive to do that, from their point of view. So, we can't tell you that in every case it won't work, because there's no data and every brand recommends not mixing. It's best practice not to do it. How do we test tubeless sealant? There's more advice on tubeless tyre set-up from an expert in our piece on tubeless tyres: are you doing it properly? What to take with you if you're riding tubeless In the first test, we used two Michelin Wild Grip’R 2 tyres, and tested three sealants with each tyre. It's a good idea to carry a pump or CO2 canister so that you can get some more pressure into your tyres. Sometimes the sealant plug just won't hold at higher pressures, so you might need to ride a soft tyre home. Leave it overnight and it will often have set enough to take full pressure though.The size and volume of the tyre will denote the amount of tubeless sealant that is required, but to be safe, we recommend following the manufacturer's instructions, as the different formulas require different quantities of sealant to produce effective puncture protection. Can I run tubeless without sealant? Switching to a tubeless road setup opens up a whole new world where flat tyres are a rarity and your ride becomes super comfy. You can stop worrying about inner tubes and run lower pressures, which makes for a cushier ride, better handling, and lower rolling resistance. Pair that with the best tubeless sealant, and you'll almost never have to deal with a flat tyre again. Sometimes, you won't even realise anything happened, you'll just keep on rolling while the sealant does its thing.
