pretty much my experience as well. but, one tip to increase the effectiveness of sealant in tubulars is to add some glitter - it helps "clotting" and will seal up the puncture better than just the sealant on its own. also, keep in mind that Stans uses ammonia (as an anticoagulant) - conventional wisdom says that will degrade latex tubes/tubulars over time. Caffelatex doesn't use ammonia, so is the better sealant for latex tubulars. Stans works well with tubulars using butyl inner-tubes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
