"Interesting about the ammonia issue, Greg. Hadnt thought of that....
I've used DT Swiss tubeless sealant effectively on 2 FMBs that punctured - easy to get in as it has a thin tube to dispense. just rotate the tub to spread it around, as…"

Just bought some Rhino's and glued them on yesterday (bit of a dogs dinner with some glue on the sidewalls, but hey, first time and they aren't going to roll off) - thanks for all advice here on…Continue

Sure that this is a well-worn topic, but.......I am pretty new to cross (although not cycling) and I am planning to buy some tubular wheels and tyres. Wheels I am pretty sure about - Easton EA70x -…Continue

Greg Keller replied to Stuart Doran's discussion Stan's No Tubes in Dugast Rhino"The issue that's been stirred up with sealants pumped into tubulars relates to the ammonia many of the sealants contain and the potential that it could erode through the tub and then contaminate the base tape and…"
scot replied to Stuart Doran's discussion Stan's No Tubes in Dugast Rhino"I've used Stans on the MTB tubless wheels and after a few weeks it starts to separate - you end up with a ball of latex rolling around the tyre.... have started using the Bontrager Super Juice instead, it is non latex so lasts for ages!

Dave Haygarth replied to Stuart Doran's discussion Stan's No Tubes in Dugast Rhino"Interesting... I haven't heard the 'reducing the life' argument before but maybe it's true. Certainly haven't heard of anyone having that problem. The good news is that I've put Stans sealant into my Dugast Rhinos…"
Paul Sheers replied to Stuart Doran's discussion Stan's No Tubes in Dugast Rhino"hmmmm, maybe look out for an epic collapse and me looking sorry for myself during one race soon then Andy.

Andy Waterman replied to Stuart Doran's discussion Stan's No Tubes in Dugast Rhino"There's been a lot about this on Velonews recently. Apparently Dugast only recommends Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex which is available through Upgrade…"
Paul Sheers replied to Stuart Doran's discussion Stan's No Tubes in Dugast Rhino"Hi Stuart
I have a Rhinos too but waited until I had a puncture before putting any Stans in. That way it's not sitting in there for too long sloshing around not doing anything. I've not heard that it deteriates the inner tube either…"
Stuart Doran posted a discussionStan's No Tubes in Dugast Rhino
Just bought some Rhino's and glued them on yesterday (bit of a dogs dinner with some glue on the sidewalls, but hey, first time and they aren't going to roll off) - thanks for all advice here on selecting and glueing them.Question - would you advise that I put Stan's in them and if so does it in anyway compromise the innertube life? After wrestling them on I don't want to make it a regular occurance, but bloke in (admittedly not great bike shop) reckons that Stan's reduces life of standard…See More
Andy Waterman replied to Stuart Doran's discussion Best All Round Tubulars?"NOT Tufo Extreme tape.
Any of the white fabric based tapes are fine (Jantex or Tufo normal).
These are essentially gauze soaked in Tubasti glue which is much much more flexible than Tufo Extreme tape, so your tyre has actually got a bit of…"
Stuart Doran replied to Stuart Doran's discussion Best All Round Tubulars?"Ian,
Really good article - very helpful.Quick question, do you use the specific tub tape they refer to there (and if so, where do you get it (US apart) or does it equally apply with any tub tape?
Thanks for all your help - really appreciate…"
Stuart Doran replied to Stuart Doran's discussion Best All Round Tubulars?"Thanks Ian. Looks like just the article I'm after. Much appreciated"

Stuart Doran replied to Stuart Doran's discussion Best All Round Tubulars?"Thanks all. Just ordered the wheels and managed to track down some Rhino's (bit like hen's teeth) from Dave Mellor is anyone's looking for them.
Right, next challenge is to glue them - which'll be a new…"
Ed Sneddon replied to Stuart Doran's discussion Best All Round Tubulars?"if you don't want to splash out on Rhinos, then a less extreme path albeit in the same direction are the Fangos mentioned above. Def not quite as good as Rhinos in thick wet mud, but not bad either (they are allegedly Challenge's Mud tub…"
Stuart Doran replied to Stewart Dyer's discussion Start Cyclocross"Stewart,
I started not so long ago and live Guildford. I just turned up to some of the races in the London League - as mentioned by Ian - and it was fantasically easy to get involved. Everyone was really friendly and it was bloody good fun. The…"
Alan Dorrington replied to Stuart Doran's discussion Best All Round Tubulars?"Lee's hit the nail on the head - pointless having anything less than the best MUD tire as most of our races in the UK season have at least some mud. There was some geeky research done too that looked at the rolling resistance of Rhinos and…"
