Trailrider Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Been using the latex/propylene glycol/water home brew for years, worked fine. Then someone was blowing out Stans for $12 a bottle so I bought ten. Never got into experimenting with chunkifying the mixture. Found it was more important to ride with any fresh sealant than where it came from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notyal Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 This Orange Seal story has the feeling of an online review where the package arrived damaged, so the reviewer gives the product 1 star and flames the product/company, but the real fault is with the delivery company. It doesn't seem like he would maliciously lie about one of the two wheels having a tube. He probably just forgot he hadn't set them both up tubeless. It doesn't seem like any of your disdain for Orange Seal comes from actual use of the product. Only a bad experience with someone affiliated with the product (not even selling that product to you) who could have made an honest mistake. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGG Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 My orange seal personal story is a puncture failing to seal and an orange stain on my garage floor from some spillage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdurt Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 I decided to try the Berryman 1332... couldn't find it in any stores though, so I grabbed a 32oz bottle from Amazon for $16 to experiment with. I cut it with water in 4oz increments until I was happy with the viscosity, which ended up being about 50/50. Mounted my new DHF/DHRII combo, but had to redo the tape on the rear, which meant removing and re-seating the valve stem... which of course, leaked, despite my best effort shaking that side of the wheel. It was flat by morning. I aired it back up and went ahead for a ride though, and the sealant did its first job by the end; no more leaking stem. Another nice thing is that it doesn't stink! I hate the smell of Stan's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a big bottle from Oreilly's a while ago. still working well, but it seems to dry up fast. then again, everything dries up fast. I think i'm not mixing it with enough water, so I'll keep experimenting. a little experimenting is worth it to me because the price of the alternatives is OUTRAGEOUS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 You could try mixing it with RV antifreeze instead of water. Antifreeze definitely evaporates more slowly. It's pretty cheap too. I'm definitely interested in how the Berryman works out long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that brave with $150 worth of new Maxxis'... maybe when they're shot. 48 minutes ago, Kyle said: You could try mixing it with RV antifreeze instead of water.

I actually have some from my DIY brew days and thought about using it, but figured I'd see how water fairs first. If we start getting frequent or hard freezes though, I might shoot an ounce or so into each tire anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the Berryman's to try it too, and I have a worn out Maxxis Rambler 40c that will be sacrificed for this purpose. I'll try both Stan's and Berryman's at 50/50 with various size hole making devices. I just need to get the time to do it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRider3141 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Stans, doing its job. Didn't notice the thorn (~1" long) until I went to check my sealant. I pulled it out and the hole seemed too small for bacon so I rolled the wheel around and the sealant closed it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I’m raw dogging it with tubes in New Mexico right now because my commuter wheel set was messed up and I got too busy to do it right. So far I am about 20% through the trip without a flat. Gonna Stan’s up the squishy when I get back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
