What a great no nonsense video. As you say most people talking products down have never ever tried them! I'm getting a tubed bike for the first time in years and this will be going straight in. Cheers 👍
Sold! I’ve just bought a Ural with sidecar and changing inner tubes in the event of a puncture could definitely ruin my day. On my mountain bike I use Stan’s fluid which is similar and had zero punctures.
What a great video, proves that it works really well, I had it my car tyres and got a bolt that went through the middle of the rear tyre, I removed the bolt, added Bike seal and it sealed the tyre, totally wrong way to do it, but it worked. Thanks for the video.
I like your videos ...straight talking honest reviews.....I tried the Benelli 502 ...after seeing your reviews....its is the comfiestbike I have ridden ...its on my list for next year ...
Id never considered Chinese bikes until I saw the beneli range. Cf moto are as expensive as Japanese counterpart and didn't appeal design wise either but now I'm sincerely considering the trk. Also I was told this product was useless on tubes and not good to use should just get puncture fixed. So again glad I came across your channel and got to see these videos. I may have been riding 34 years but always learning.
I have just this minute got home from the ABR festival. For me a 600 mile round trip and the bike has not missed a beat. I have recently had brake calliper issues and a fork seal go but I have replaced them myself and the bike is back to its amazing reliable self again. Ride safe 👍
@@BikeRiderReviews good to know. I have a thunderace and a himalayan and I am considering getting rid of both for the trk. I plane to go mainland for a few trips next year. Going to Silverstone moto gp this year in August. Been to local dealer and the trk looks fantastic bike.
@@rabfergy7155 The bikes are great value for the money. The only thing I would say is be aware getting parts for the bike is not as easy as getting parts for a Japanese brand. Often you will need to get parts direct from Italy or China. A lot of parts supplied by UK shops are advertised as for the TRK X but when you get them they turn out to be for a Standard 502 and don't fit. I could not get fork seals as the ones advertised for the trk didn't fit. I got around it by using Benelli Leoncino seals. There is always a work around and Facebook has a TRK UK page where you can get good advice on where to get parts.
@@BikeRiderReviews maybe you could do an episode with a breakdown of running costs. As well as the usual consumables, oil, filters, brake pad that all need replacing maybe let us know any other parts and costs and availability. Be good to get a better picture of this bike before I go book a test ride
@@rabfergy7155 I will take a look at this for you but it won't be fir a while as I'm currently in the process of moving house and changing jobs at the same time, so I have had to put the channel on hold for the time being. Ride safe 👍
First-class video. Very convincing. Just what I needed to watch. I will order some of this for use in my Yamaha SCR950's tubes. I have subscribed. Are you from the Potteries? I was a student there in the early '80s.
Had Bike-Seal in my tubed tyres (Interceptor 650) for almost four years. Have I had a puncture? Don't know. Nothing in the treads. It's like the rope-cutter on my boat's propeller. Never had a fouled prop. Either been lucky, or these products work silently. As I prefer more than one inflated tyre on my bike, I'll stick with the Bike-Seal on the next.
I’ve never used this on my tyres I have tubeless and carry a puncture repair kit and Dynaplug set. I do have a similar product in my bicycle tyres and so far never had a puncture or at least not one I’ve been aware of, great review 👍
I put it in my tyres for last 2 years but decided to do my own test when new tyres were due drilled a 2mm hole in tyre and rode bike only got 100m before tyre went flat on removal of tyre it was found to all be conjeled into large blobs never worked for me so have no stopped using it
Sorry to hear that, the tube I cut up in the video didn't show that at all. It was still in liquid form and coating the tube evenly. It's good to get this feedback though so people can see all the facts. Thanks for the input. Ride safe 👍
Hi, I used bikeseal and had a 2mm nail go in the back tyre and it didn't work ,I had followed the instructions to the letter when filling the tyres, quantities etc tried reinflating the tyre and spinning it, it just wouldn't seal on my vstrom ended up putting a bung in. complete waste of 30 quid.
Hi , simple you position the valve at the top of the wheel then let the air out. The solution in the tyre remains a fluid so when the wheel is not spinning it pools at the bottom. When I change my tyres I leave the bike stationary for around 20 mins making sure the valve is in either the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock position, then I deflate the tyre, its the same when testing your tyre pressure or topping up the pressure. I hope this helps. Ride safe 👍
What are the pros and cons of running tubes inside tubeless tyres? I’m guessing it’s to keep the wheel clean from the product, but also allows the tube to be reused if the tyre needs replacing. Are there any other pros and cons to this decision?
Thanks for checking out the review. The TRK 502X does not run tubeless tyres. The wheels require an inner tube to be used otherwise the tyres would not hold pressure. As for running tubes inside a tubeless tyre, other than a short term fix if you have a puncture which can't be plugged I can't see any benefit. I hope this helps. Ride safe 👍
Not that I know of. That's the beauty of the product. Unless there is something actually stuck in the tyre I doubt you would even realise you had had a puncture as it seals the puncture immediately. Ride safe 👍
Good in depth video showing how good a product is. Thanks you for this, these videos do help those of us who are serious about using products.
Best tyre seal on the market 👍👍👍... I did my bike after watching your first blog on it..... It's brilliant👍👍👍

How do you let all the air out to change a tyre without it sealing the valve stem?
Hi , simple you position the valve at the top of the wheel then let the air out. The solution in the tyre remains a fluid so when the wheel is not spinning it pools at the bottom. When I change my tyres I leave the bike stationary for around 20 mins making sure the valve is in either the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock position, then I deflate the tyre, its the same when testing your tyre pressure or topping up the pressure.

Hi I have this in my tubed tyres but haven’t had a puncture yet, have you had a puncture with this stuff installed?
Thanks

Here is a great video demonstrating the product. th-cam.com/video/2gakUu1PhIs/w-d-xo.html
Hi does it have any effect on bike tyre pressure monitor
Hi, none at all. I run a TPM on my bike with no issues. Ride safe 👍
