Stan’s NoTubes Tire Sealant

I have recently had very satisfying success using Stan’s NoTubes tire sealant to fix punctures in my road-bike tubular tires, which cost over $100 each, plus about $60 to have a new one glued on. So getting a flat is an expensive proposition. It’s not so bad when the tire is well-worn, but with a new tire, it doesn’t feel so good.

I had two flats recently—

• With one flat, the tire was completely deflated overnight, though I could find no visible cut or puncture. A half a tube of Stan’s NoTubes, and the leak has not reappeared.
• With another tire, there was a 1-2mm cut in the center of the tire. This one took a little more care, but with several inflations and a full tube of Stan’s NoTubes (since a half tube or more blew out of the cut when inflating), the Stan’s booger formed, and the tire is holding air nicely now.
