what's the difference between race and standard sealant?Forget this stuff. Every shop guy I know says it’s garbage.
Run stan’s Sealant. He made this category and in a real way we own Stan for making tubeless for the masses a thing. He’s been tinkering with this formula for a very long time.
I Run 1/2 and 1/2 standard & race sealant. This combo works wonders. The race sealant dies out too fast otherwise and is pricey. This is trick I leaned from a Stans employee.
When starting with a new tire, use more sealant than you think. Some brands of tires will absorb a fair bit of sealant into the casing.
Grease the threads on your valves so you can run them a bit tighter and get them off by hand later. Remove the cores once in a while and clean them out.
As a side, don’t assume you can mix and match brands of sealants within the same tire. This can end up creating a science experiment.
Also good to know the formulations have been evolving,
