Orange Seal - Endurance Formula Tubeless Bike Tire Sealant | Long Lasting, Fast Sealing | for MTB, Road, CX and Gravel Bicycle Tires

Lets be honest here, the average cyclist is often lured into believing claimed benefits of a product without ever witnessing any valid tests to back the claims up. Youll hear all kinds of anecdotal claims of how great tubeless tires are, but you rarely hear about the many drawbacks - and the fact that you probably are a lot better off just sticking with good old tire tubes. Most common tubeless benefits cited (parroted): * Run at low pressures without going flat This is primarily something that people who ride off-road claim as a benefit, that by going tubeless you can drop the tire pressure lower than you could with a tube to get more grip on loose/uneven surfaces...whereas if you were using tubes youd be dealing with pinch flats once dropping below a certain threshold. False - properly installed tubes will not pinch flat even at lower pressures, and tubeless tires suffer from burping where the bead breaks momentarily allowing a lot of air to escape. The benefits of super low PSI are also dubious at best. * Never any flats This has nothing to do with tubeless and everything to do with the liquid sealant that you have to use as a stopgap to make tubeless work in the first place. Because spoked wheels are inherently not air-tight, for tubeless to work, a seal must be created. This is done by taping over the spoke holes and using the sealant to form a bead between the tire and rim. You chould just as easily add this sealant to a tubed tire if avoiding flats is your main concern. * Faster ride / better handling Totally subjective claims that really dont have any basis in reality. A good rider will do just as well with tubed tires as he would would tubeless. In many cases the sealant ends up being heavier than a decent tube, plus having liquid in your tires does not lend itself to better performance or handling. Orange Seal ----------------------------- So what is the problem with this orange stuff? First of all, it is poorly packaged. The bottle arrived partially empty because it leaked out. The seller puts them in zip-lock bags to prevent the leaky bottles from making a mess in transit, but youre still out a couple oz when it arrives. Next, this stuff is very watery and does not aid in forming a bead with tires that are not at least tubless ready. I have inferno 27 rims and tires that are tubless ready, but this stuff could not seal the minor gaps. As soon as the air hose was disconnected the tire would deflate. Third, see above, tubeless is largely a meme bandwagon that offers little or no benefits and only adds cost. - Tubes are cheap and can last for years. - Tubes hold air better and will not need to be inflated every single time you go for a ride. - Tubes, when properly installed, will not pinch flat. - Tubes can also be filled with a small amount of sealant to provide anti-flat protection, if that is a concern for you. - Tubes do not suffer from burping. - Tubes do not require an air compressor or charge pump to install. - Even if you go tubeless, if something causes your tire to go flat, you will need a tube to ride home. The cycling industry preys upon fools by trying to make bicycling depend upon expensive consumables that need frequent maintenance. Just stop.

Love the product because it is eco-friendly and has saved me from quite a few flats in my tubeless tires. Unfortunately, the cap shattered in transit (probably due to the lack of cushioning). It leaked out all over the inside of the box and on a textbook book that was ordered. I’m still not sure why this was packaged together since there were other books in this same order. I specifically ordered this product because the picture online is a picture of the shop bottle, meaning that it comes in the white bottle with a safety cap. The product that came to me was the retail version. Only buy the white shop bottle if you can!

This stuff is the best. And, when it dries, it dries weightless and peels out like snakeskin. Super easy to clean up. Since it dries weightless, and hold the seals up perfectly, I top off my tires with 2oz each season and dont have to worry about anything until I need new tires. Use with DT Swiss or Mac-Off Rim Tape.

This stuff has been so reliable over the years. Ive tried Stans, DT Swill, Continental, even Peatys - yet I havent used anything as good as Orangeseal. Yes - the price is a little higher than other brands, but in my opinion its well worth it because it lasts longer before drying up/evaporating, and it seems to keep punctures away. At times when my friends are refilling their Stans sealant, my tires still have a good amount in them. In other words, cheaper doesnt mean better! Clean-up is easy; OrangeSeal does not turn into a mess of spiderwebs inside the tire carcass when it dries up. No stringy mess, no giant globs - just a smooth layer of sealant. Ive been using OrangeSeal for the last 3 years... and I still havent had a flat for (yup) the last 3 years of riding fire roads, trails, and even downhill. Easily a 5-star product in my book. Im only buying more because I want to top up during the hot summer were having locally.

I am using this in a 29” WTB TCS tire and it seals very well. I used Stan’s for a number of years and always had a significant amount of air loss over time. Orange seal maintains the air in the tire much better.

seems to dry out pretty fast. there than that.. seems to work

Love this product, I’ve used it for years. Made this purchase of the smaller bottle specifically to get the included injector. Arrived without injector. Returning it.

Finally got around to replacing my mtb tires. This fluid didnt seem much thinner than Stans when filling the tire. Manufacturer says 4oz, my tire/wheel took 12oz plus. It is still seeping out the spoke nuts. Most irritating, every time I press the valve stem I get sprayed with fluid - regardless of valve stem location or how long the wheel has been stationary. Havent ridden enough to determine how long lasting it is. Doubt Ill buy it again.

Swapped my tube setup to tubeless recently. With the help of orange seal, all the minor leaks and things were easily resolved! Took about 72 hours to completely seal without the need to continue adding air.

This product is flawless. It works like charm, i ran over a cactus going down hill and tires held and sealed right back up. This sealant also works for a long time so ur not buying a new one over and over. This sealant only down side is if you don’t ride often like 1-2 a month it drys up and doesn’t give you the protection I usually would.
