Stan's NoTubes sealant - will it work with UST tires/wheels?

[Brian Bertsch]

I have UST tubeless wheels/tires that leak 1-2psi of air each day.

1- Can I use the Stan's sealant only (not the entire kit) to prevent these slow leaks?

2- Is the sealant easy to clean from the inside of the wheels when it comes time to change tires?

3- How is the sealant applied?

Thank you Brian

If you are having sealing probs just use a little slime http://slime.com/ - this can help eliminate
thorn flats too. Harbor freight has it on sale pretty often.

2 - Yes, very. A rub with a rag is all it takes.

Mount the tire as usual. Before inflating, place a plastic hose on the slime bottle and either
squirt into the presta valve or bend the tire back and squeeze some under the bead. Use a couple
ounces. Inflate as usual.

Maybe.

It depends on what you consider easy.

I squirted mine in through the valve stem.
