Leading up to this last mountain bike race, I swapped out to a set of new tires. In doing so, I also needed to add a tubeless sealant. I placed four ounces of Slime Tubeless Ready (STR) sealant in each tire. Beforehand, I shook the bottles up well.
Of course I’m up for trying the newly released Slime Tubeless Ready (STR) sealant. They sent me a four ounce bottle to try out. They claim it is suppose to stay liquid longer than others on the market. It’s work a try. They recommend between two and four ounces per mountain bike tire and one and a half to two ounces per road tire.
I am now using a combination of Stan’s and Orange Seal. This Slime sample will be interesting to test against the other two.
Another key advantage with (STR) Sealant is that it’s able to withstand a wide range of temperatures and environmental variations. Whether cold winter temperatures or baking hot asphalt, the sealant remains unaffected. The (STR) Sealant is CO2 compatible. Other sealants can dry out or degrade when subjected to the cold temperatures created by CO2 cartridges, but the synthetic latex blend has an ultra-low freezing point of 3°F/-16° C so it won’t freeze or dry up when you’re making a roadside repair or setting a tire bead, lets face it we all don’t own air compressors, with a CO2 cartridge.
With other sealants, I had to go back every five or six days and add more air to the tires, but so far, not with the Slime Tubeless Ready (STR) sealant. I am impressed. If you are looking for a tubeless sealant, I am a believer in Slime.
