This morning, I go out to ride, knowing I had a slow leak in my
seemingly immortal Clement Criterium. I pump it up a little more than
usual thinking I might need the extra psi to finish my ride. Instead
leak goes from slow to fast. Almost give up my ride because time
constraints in the morning don't leave room for fixing a tire, riding,
and then getting to work on time (or fixing the tire last night, for
that matter). But I twist out the valve, dump in some Tufo sealant,
pump it up, and I'm on my way in just a few minutes, and I still have
my spare under the seat in reserve.
I think Tufo should try marketing their sealant in single dose shots
with a pointy tip that will fit inside the valve stem, along with a
tiny wrench that will fit the valve to remove it, to use on the rode
instead of replacing the tire. I think it works well enough that I
would try to repair a tire that way, and completely avoid the hassle
(like I did today) of re-gluing a tire when I replace the spare.
