<p>Hey - </p>
<p>I put some Stans in my Tufo's for race season and wonder if I should try to get it out in the off season, lest it harden up in there?</p>

<p>First, thanks to CX magazine for giving me the idea & tools to run tubeless. Short answer - it works.</p>
<p>Revelations: While I got my tires to seal up OK, and they held pretty good, in the las couple races I was burping the rear tire. Part may be the pressure (29-28 psi in the rear and clock 180 lbs). But a good part may be I needed to build up the rim's channel a bit more. Just for grins I got some Vittoria rim strips and put those on top of the tape I was using. Then the Stan's rim…</p>

Holy cow, it sealed up well enough with no sealant I could have ridden it like that.</p>
<p>Next: I love riding tubeless. No flats from thorns. And I can run pressures low enough that off-cambers at speed are much less of an issue. Grip in the sloppy, greasy mud-on-top-of-wet-grass. I'm hooked.</p>
<p>QUESTION: It says in the instructions that the sealant will dry up in 2 - 6 months. So how do I stay ahea do of the curve here? Do I just add more? Do I pop the tire off the rim and dump out the old sealant?</p> sealant membranetag:cowbell.cxmagazine.com,2010-08-30:1198434:Topic:655422010-08-30T06:37:56.591Zc-notehttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/profile/cnote
I had a IRD Crossfire tire mounted tubelss to a stans rim as a front wheel for two seasons. I replenished the sealant as needed, and finally the tire wore out, the sidewalls became too porous, and sealant would evaporate out leaving a constantly damp outer sidewall. So I removed the tire for retirement, but only after I flatted while coming down a rocky trail with some speed. I found that the sealant I'd put in 4 weeks prior had evaporated, so I put a tube in to finish my ride. <br></br><br></br>Upon…

Now I have a giant latex rubberband as a result. BTW, I used three types of sealant over the course of the two seasons: mostly Stan's, but also Effeto Cafe Latex and Slime Pro. <br/><br/>Check out the pics attached.<br/> Tubular Tires with Stans Sealanttag:cowbell.cxmagazine.com,2010-08-16:1198434:Topic:643592010-08-16T20:44:49.600ZHamiltonhttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/profile/Hamilton
Has anyone run Stans sealant in tubular tires? I'm running tubulars for the first time this year and Utah is goathead central. I know from cycling this summer that Caffelatex isn't going to cut it, I covered the road more than a few times with puddles of latex that never sealed the hole. I was thinking that Stans, a latex based sealant with particles might work better. Thoughts, suggestions?

so I'm gonna play some more with tubeless, and I'm curious to know what tires have you folks tried that have worked well, and which ones to avoid.<br />
<br />
i've heard the mud2, raze, and some panaracer tires have worked well for folks, along with the hutchinson tires. any others that you've tried?
