Puncture safe - UPDATED (a 2nd time)

[sickpup]

Anyone using it or one of the equivalents?

I'd be very interested to hear other peoples views.

Apparently its not like tyre weld or slime, you can remove it from the tyre should you get a puncture (that it cant repair itself) so you can get the tyre plugged.

Used grunge twice on a bicycle inner tubes. Both times when I did get a puncture it made the tubes completely unrepairable. It stayed liquid which didn't create a good enough seal and I couldnt just plaster over with a patch because... Well.. it was liquid and just sprayed out and made the patch go splat when I put air in the tube.

Nice idea, but would take some effort convincing me it worked.

I used puncture safe, with all the logos around it about the royal mail using it. Yet to get a puncture so cant report..

Used various in dirt bikes and cars with some success. Of course, if it really works well, you don't even know you've got a puncture.
Also used aerosols that inflate the tyre. Again, had it work in some cases, but not all - ones from the pound shop have worked in some cases, can't really tell if they're any less good than other ones.

Funny, my tyre fitter mate says the only stuff like this to use is Puncturesafe because it doesn't do the nasty things mentioned, so I put it in my tyres and havent had a puncture. It means you can't ballance the wheel but that is no problem because it self-ballances every time you ride.

One lad I know has pulled 6 nails out of his 125's front tyre with this stuff and has had no problems, it does leave a tell-tale mark to let you know there has been a puncture.

i used Holts Tyre Weld admitidly it held air fine but when i went to get the puncture plugged the fitter told me due the the liquid he described looking like semen he told me the plug/patch thing wouldn't stick.

I was going to mention that, but realised the answer was 'last time I looked art my 690 wheels'... But the tubeless system on it actually recommends using a sealant.

The reason these aren't popular on bicycles is because the goo has a tendancy to settle in one part of the wheel, then as it rotates, it gums together with the rest of the goo forming a larger glob.

In pedal cycling this has a severe affect on your wheel balance and can cause some really hefty vibrations through the bike.

I'd have thought the same is true for motorcycles and cars.

I used one version on my 1500 wing cause fixing the rear tyre was a nightmare. I either never had a punture or it worked fine. Also it wasn't a problem when tyre change time came round. I couldn't say which brand of the stuff it was though, the bloke who did it was at goldwing meets and I just went to him.
