If you see a \u2018latex-free\u2019 (i.e. water-based) sealant called \u2018tubeless\u2019 \u2013 it\u2019s really not: they just don\u2019t know how to make a proper tubeless sealant.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tConversely, if you see a latex brand saying you can use it in tubes \u2013 you can, but don\u2019t. It will dry out quickly and shorten your tube life, and it won\u2019t seal as well in tubes as a water-based product. These are brands that don\u2019t have a proper, tailored sealant, with an incomplete market coverage.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<strong>Sizes to fit Everyone<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMany sealants are limited to less-than-ideal sizes. The leading US brand is of course in fluid ounce bottles, and apart from the little 2oz\/60ml top-up\/repair size you must buy the big 16oz size that treats 2 bikes: their Race version, at a hefty premium, only comes in 32 oz, as if everyone has 4 bikes.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMagic Milk offers a 5-size range across both versions; Tubeless, and Hi-Fibre Race (at a sensible premium). The popular 250ml size is sensible \u2013 it treats one MTB \u2013 unless you have a fat bike\u2026\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe full range is \u2013\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t65ml\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t250ml\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t500ml\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t1 litre for teams\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t5 litre can &#8211; teams, service workshops\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<strong>Injecting your Sealant<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMany people copied Stan\u2019s 60ml sealant injector: OKO found that inconveniently small, requiring 2 shots for most tyres. The unique OKO Injector delivers 150ml, covering nearly any bike tyre in one shot.\u00a0<br \/>\n\t\u00a0<br \/>\n\tFor 5 litre cans, OKO rejected the inaccurate, environmentally-wasteful 10ml-30ml hand pumps. Each can comes with the injector, delivering the precise dose in one go.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe OKO tyre sealant injector is also sold as a long-term retail product for riders. It also has potential uses for lubes etc.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<strong>The Magic Plug<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSometimes a horrible gash defeats even the best tubeless sealant (Magic Milk). The savvy rider carries a plug repair kit. These come in many guises and unnecessarily heavy packs.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMagic Plug is a featherweight 1 ounce\/28 gram kit with a chunky-handled tool plus 3.5mm and 1.5mm diameter sticky plugs, the \u2018flat-fixing frankfurters\u2019. It does the business and works with any sealant \u2013 and of course is ideal with Magic Milk.
