    I was just wondering what sealant all you tubeless tyre users go for, and what you think is the best sealant for tyres at ‘normal’ road pressures. Lots of sealants are great at lower pressures (so fine for gravel tyres and cyclocross use) but fail to seal as effectively when the pressure gets up to and above 80psi.

    Recommendations? Opinions?

    I dont do Tubeless, but

    I dont do Tubeless, but Caffelatex is what in my tubular, and it works at 130 psi. They also do a tint bottle of accelerant to dab on bigger holes from the outside, that works great too.

    It does need cleaned off anything it hits before it dries though, as they dry in brown and it will not come off.

    I’ve used stans no tubes very effectively to seal punctures in tubs up to 120psi but reviews very mixed for tubeless application – perhaps you need heavier duty stuff and/or more of it in a tubeless as no inner tube.

    Orange seal seems to get more favorable reviews for tubeless applications.

    Road pressure and sealants is

    Road pressure and sealants is a grey area, not all are created equal. 

    I often ride at higher pressures and in short, don’t use Stans it’s rubbish, don’t use Continental Revo, that’s equally as rubbish, DO use Orange Sealant or I personally use the Bontrager Sealant (but you ‘really’ need to shake it a lot before use) and I’ve heard decent things about the Effetto Mariposa Caffe Latex Sealant also but don’t know anyone who’s used it.

    I’ll probably swap oevr to the orange stuff once I run out of bontrager, but I’m not mixing sealants, that’d be like crossing the streams in ghostbusters!

    I’ve been running tubeless

    I’ve been running tubeless tyres since 2012 but have always thought that the sealants could be a bit better. I’m going to try the Orange Seal stuff – seems to get a lot of love.

    Just remembered to look its actually Joe’s Super Sealant

    I use sealant in tubular tyres upto 130 psi. They have sealed thorn punctures. Tubeless don’t run that high 95psi maximum
