Muc-Off 20216 No Puncture Hassle Inner Tube Sealant, 300 Millilitres - Advanced Bicycle Tyre Sealant For Repairing Inner Tube Punctures Of Up To 4mm

Product Information

Tires with Schrader valves all have removable cores, so putting sealant in them is very simple. All you need is a core remover, which is built into some sealants.

The water-soluble nature of the Inner Tube sealant requires more to be added to the tube than you would Muc-Off's tubeless sealant – about 90ml for a 700C tyre rather than 40ish, which obviously adds a bit of weight. Once installed it is claimed to last the life of the inner tube, and after six weeks in some very high temperatures, as far as I can tell it is still sloshing around in the tube. Fewer potential punctures. With no inner tube inside the tire you eliminate one type of puncture that even sealants can’t handle: pinch flats. These are a complete non-issue with tubeless tires. Making a bigger hole saw the sealant take a little longer to plug the gap but it achieved it, although the pressure dropped from 90psi down to 50psi. That's still high enough to let you get home without stopping and give it a top up at home or fix/replace the tube.Use a tire with puncture protection. Although the sealant is designed to fix slow punctures, you should strive to minimize the chances of getting a puncture in the first place.

Overall, the ability of Muc-Off Inner Tube Sealant to seal the typical sizes of punctures you get on the road is impressive, giving you many of the benefits of tubeless without the cost of getting everything set up. Verdict You can use your favorite tire. Since there’s no need for a tubeless specific rim and tire, you can use your existing tire and put sealant in the inner tube. Run your tires at higher pressure. Since sealants are not meant to deal with snake bites, you should pay special attention to running your tires at sufficiently high pressures. Low pressure increases your chances of getting pinch flats and punctures outside the tread area of the tire.Attach the hose to the valve stem and inject the sealant into the tire. The amount you should inject depends on the sealant and the tire size. Find the recommended amount printed on the bottle.
