When I got a puncture a few weeks ago the shop I took it to stuck some Ultraseal in rather than plug it. Since then I've had another nail type thing in it and done 1000 miles 2 up. There is no real pressure loss. The question is, how many punctures will this stuff take care of?

Although the tyre is now a bit squared off its not that bad and will be good for a while still so I don't want to replace it until I have to.

Don't like the stuff 3 reasons

1. You wont know how much damage your tyre has untill its too late because it hides punctures too well.

2. Some (not all) tyre fitters will charge extra to change a tyre with sealents in as they have to clean everything up before they put the new tyre on.

3. For bigger bikes it can knock the wheel balance out and give a rough ride.

Just my views. Wink
