Ride on tyre sealant

joeboy · Post by **joeboy** » Sun Mar 01, 2009 1:08 am

Ive got a pinhole slow puncture in my back tyre, the problem is its right next to a plugged repair..smack bang in the middle of the tread.

Spoke to my tyre fiiter mate and he said its scrap...so i coated a pin in some super glue while the tyre was deflated and its sealed it for now.(took the pin out of course).

Ive been up and down the motorway a couple of times and it seems fine..I am going to try a bottle of this stuff in it it just to be on the safe side,looks the business tested upto 150mph too.

Well i will just roast the tyre off, for a few weeks then. Its not leaking right now but even when it does it takes overnight to go down.

The thing is has anyone died or even had an accident because of this stuff? Its been around a very long time and if it was dangerous surely they wouldnt be allowed to sell it...

Everyone has said the same DONT DO IT..but it looks a lot better spec than it used to be.

I will probly just put the tube i have in me trailor tyres cos youve all put me off trying it now..

Its to close to the previous repair....and the foam stuff is a get you home repair...if it let go at 100+ on a private road you'd damage the bike

The stuff i got wasnt foam..it stays in your tyre for life...its tested to 150mph.

But everyone is still saying no..

Ive searched the net for even one reference to it being dangerous or causing a crash with no joy..

same happened to me a few years ago,new rear and nailed within 10 miles

i just did burnouts n doughnuts with it rather than risk riding anywhere on it.at least that made me feel i got some fun out of it

Put some ultraseal in the Busa tyres before I went to Europe last year ... no issues with it .... however once or twice under very harsh acceleration I got some vibrations 100mph.

Some tyre fitters swear by it... others dont (prob the ones who cant be arsed to clean the shit out of the tyre when you put a new one on

)

EVERYONE said not to use it, but i cant find any reason at all not to...
