You can top up a tubeless tire through the valve with Silca replenisher too. When mounting a new tire, there is no difference how you put the sealant in - before or after seating the tire.
Thanks! Will stick with my orange sealant now instead of going to the newer and more expensive slica. Concerned about not being able to unseat the tyre from the rim if I use slica.
I have used orange and it’s not bad. SILCA, I think is better but due to the difficulty of adding fresh sealant I use it for MTN only. For gravel, I’m trying caffelatex…so far so good. Similar process to orange.
Have used Silca and as you stated though its effective, its also hard to work with. Decided to give the regular orange seal a try since I would prefer to inject the sealant. i have decided to use road tubless inserts so I do not wish to spend time unseating tires. Yes Silca offers a replenisher which I have but there is the issue of it clogging valve stems. I went as far as buying whats labveled a hi flow valve which is unlikely to clog. Anyway with Orange seal there is no need to buy two variants (reg plus replenisher) , its also cheaper than Silca, moreso if you have to also purchase the replenisher.
Silca products are very expensive, but the Replenisher is cheap - it is cheaper than any other sealant in my LBS. And it doesn't clog the valves, it has nothing to clog them in it.
Not sure what the missus thinks wearing your good uggs on this job, but great vid and good to know of this product. You run tubeless it's an absolute must the sealant works
Orange Seal is the sealant that is easiest to live with. Seals big holes, coats the tire with a thin latex membrane, easy to clean off hard surfaces or peel off tires. When dried up, it weighs half as much as the competition as well. Their booth at Sea Otter is amusingly quite empty. It’s just a few bottles of sealant and two bike stands for racers who flat.
I use orange seal and my mountain bike and also my gravel bike, which I haven’t been riding lately and I took and removed all the sealant out of it. Yes, using my fingers and nails and just scratching the membrane completely out of both tires cleaning it up as best as I could, and I’m waiting for some TPU tube to arrive. I’m gonna install them that way I could least ride the bike and not have to worry about dried out sealant which is orange seal is what I use and yes, it does get dried up. It’s great stuff !! And I use orange seal in my mountain bike too that gets more use.
Handy tio, if you get a pair of garden gloves you'll find you can run the old sealant off the inside of the tire using your palm. Don't get me wrong, it's still a pain but the grip on the gloves really helps
I just run gravel tire inserts with standard stan's, same with my mountain bike, works and easier to clean up. The inserts I'm using are like, only 33g each so pretty worth it for me.
I run Orange Endurance sealant in my Tubular Tires(Ya Ya.. I still ride tubular So what) as well as my New Tubeless tires. In either case you just want them to seal. I like the ability to just inject it through the valve stem Vs having to pour it in. Less Mess Less Fuss.
The actual tyres? Road tires I find I get around 5/6000km before the top is squared off. Gravel it really depends on the brand. Some of the chunky ones can last on 2000km if I've been on the road. But pathfinder pro's last for a good 6/7000km I find
@@NinthwaveThe 2oz of water. srsly. once you plop in that goopy orange stuff, you only have to keep it goopy. every 3 or 4 months i'll add some water to the tires, but it's really hot here so in fall/winter i dont have to do it at all. it stays liquid for a long time.. i just add water to dilute it a bit

but what about Tireject. how is it better versus tireject. make a video on that please.
Agree 100%. I have had great experience with Orange Seal. No flats in over 3 years. Also, very easy to clean up after it dries.

Can't say I've heard of that brand, we appear to be a bit limited with options in Australia
@@SpinAnGrin effetto Mariposa is the brand, caffelatex is the name of sealant. Italian brand…hard to get in the USA as well.
You can add Silca Replenisher through the valve.

Interesting about the stand, I guess when everyone knows it's the best you don't really need to market it 😅

Agree, it makes it much more straightforward and user friendly
@SpinAnGrin, how often do you replenish your tires ?

Some of the chunky ones can last on 2000km if I've been on the road. But pathfinder pro's last for a good 6/7000km I find
So it's not better than silca, but rather it also works, and is more practical to use, correct?
Yes. Its sealed holes for me exactly the same as Silca however it has the added bonus of being much easier to install and maintain
Been using the silica sealant this year and really happy with it so far
Will keep orange seal endurance in mind though next time
If it's working for you mate, stick with it 🤘
How do Dynaplugs not damage the rim if it goes flat with one of those in it? Seems like it'd destroy a rim?
Even if the tire is completely flat, because of the rim there is still a big gap between the spur of the plug and the rim bed if that makes sense
I use the same sealant and process with my Conti GP5000, straight forward and limited fuss.
Ye, I'm not going back from this stuff now I think
Need a video on best sealant cleaner remover.
@@MooreMatt seconded. I love Orange Seal but removing sealant is still a pain (better than punctures.)
I still just use garden gloves and rub the stuff off when needed. The gloves help with a grippy surface but it's still a chore
Try mucoff sealant / glue remover.
Are you using Endurance or regular sealant?
This is the regular one as it's all I can get my hands on in Australia
I was thinking of going back to Orange too. Currently using Vittoria sealant which has been good but I'm almost out of it. It stains like a btch tho.
Even orange seal does if you get it on the floor 🫣
Yay new video🎉
Time for me to change my sealant to Orange 🍊 ❤ Stan hasn’t really worked well for me in the past
