Remember when you had a glossary of terms? I think we should add "sticking your dick in the mashed potatoes". Meaning, someone goes apeshit and you're just forced to lock up the thread.
This thread needs someone to stick their dick in the mashed potatoes.

Sorry guys, I guess I was spoiled not having to check my sealant in the past. This was just a quick observation when switching tires. I guess the description on the bottle leads you to believe it csn be used long term but the phone rep gave me the real time frame. I really never even comprehended a one race sealant that costs $40/bottle. I'm sure it's justified to some, ibwas just expecting something different. Shame on @David Taylor

Just applied Stan's to my tubeless (Tufo Cubus) that had a small cut and pinhole stream of air coming out. Inflated about halfway overnight and it seems to be holding. Just pumped it up good. If it holds I need to decide whether to race it it just run clinchers (MXPs) on Sun. Should I trust it to hold up. Luckily I can test drive it on Sat.
If I know where the hole is, I will try to plug or patch it...then have the stans as a back up. If its just a pin hole, the fluid should work fine. Generally I try to only rely on the fluid to get me through a ride where I might have popped a tire...Plugs and patches are a better permanent fix.

Sealant didn't last with increased pressure. I have a new tire, just no time to replace pre-race, so I guess I will ride clinchers.
Come on Jeff!!! If you have time to put on a clincher you have time to pop on the tubeless tire!

Never done it. I'm scared to risk doing it wrong the day before a race.
Just put it on and fill it with air. If it doesn’t set up put a tube in.
How much sealant should go in a 32mm road/gravel tubeless tire?
Asking for a friend.

Anyone have some input on Stans vs. Orange seal? Only ever used Stans but supposedly the Orange stuff is better. Time to replace sealant in the wheels so I'm looking to switch it up for giggles. Thanks.
