> 3 dayI have been using Stanz for quite some time and it seems like I have to replace more of it than is actually being used to seal leaks. For some reason a very small hole will leak out Stanz for quite a long time until the hole is sealed however, my most recent whole would never seal. My brother is an avid mountain bike rider and road cyclist and told me to try orange seal out because that is his go to sealant and that he swapped over from stanz years ago so I took him up on it. Im using a 6fattie and put 4 ounces of orange seal in it, rotated the tires eight or 10 times filled it up and he has never leaked since. I saw a small amount of the sealant exit the hole that was causing me grief but that was it hole was sealed. I did not remove the tire from the rim and clean everything out, I just took recommendations from various websites and forums and they said just put it in and it will do its magic. I have nothing bad to say about it.

> 3 dayI own a small bike shop in the Adirondacks. Everyone up here runs tubeless, even the roadies. So over the past 10 years I have tried all the sealants. Ive tried making my own, used motorcycle sealant, etc. The best, by far, is Orange. It is EASY TO CLEAN UP and remove from tire treads and sidewalls, seals great and lasts quite long. Its expensive, but its really worth it to us. Id rather set up a wheelset with Orange once, then have to take the wheelset back in and redo the sealant because it didnt seal properly. That costs me money. So in the end the higher price point is actually saving me cash. The endurance I find is good for MTB tires and fat bikes, but the race version works best for road and gravel tires. The endurance is too thick for the smaller tires.

> 3 dayI switched from Stans to Orange Seal last season and I have been super happy with the change. Stans was making my tires really sticky on the inside, the sidewalls were sticking together really bad making it tough to add sealant (I normally pop a section of the bead off rather then inserting through the valve). I couldnt be happier with the Orange Seal. I pulled 5 goatheads out of my tire the other day. When I pulled the goatheads a little air escaped, I put my finger over the hole for a second and let it do its magic. Still running those tires, no leakage. You can see some wet spots where it seals, but honestly I dont know what we did before tubeless. With how many goatheads and cactus spines I hit in a season, I would be constantly changing tubes.

> 3 dayOrange seal is great stuff. Bought this one as it came with injector per the description, it was not included however. Seller needs to correct listing.

Greater than one weekLets 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.

> 3 dayI’ve used orange seal for years. It has been dependable and consistent. It works well for keeping my tires inflated and rolling. It is water based so easy to use and clean up.

> 3 dayHaving struggled with several flats - I had literally lost confidence in MTB tires on rough trails. The tires look gnarly at the treads but are actually soft esp at the walls and bottom. Tubes were a no go disaster. I took the leap to tubeless and having installed them and tried a few - orange is the way to go on any rim. Other might corrode, but this one does not. Add some every 3-6 months to ensure your seals continue and you are good for any number of rides. A miracle cure for flats - dont leave home without a fill.
