What's in the bag, what's in the bag!?!?! Drop your guesses here in the comments and subscribe to check back and see what it is and how I think it will help!
I’ve been using the Muc-Off sealant ever since switching to tubeless on my road bike with no complaints. Their claim of “life of the tire(or up to 6 months in temperate climates)” was a claim I found dubious at best. That is until I went to change my tires last spring. When I popped the bead off the wheel there seemed to be as much still very liquid sealant in the tires as I had put in the previous spring when I first mounted them. That’s one year, with zero top offs. Unfortunately I can’t attest to its sealing properties because in the two years and two sets of tires I’ve been using it in I haven’t seen a hint of a sealed puncture. Another plus with the Muc-Off is that it’s CO2 compatible.
I’ve heard mixed reviews from others on different videos of mine. Most seem to not like Muc Off. While I haven’t had any issues with drying out prematurely, it did seem to take a long time to seal up my Vittoria Corsa Pro tire casings. That’s really my only complaint. Thanks for adding your thoughts.
have you seen the hint of an unsealed puncture? Ie one that left you stranded. If it has worked for 2 years and 2 sets of tires and you haven't noticed a puncture then its doing a great job! I use it on road, and it does seal small punctures. At the pressures i use, nothing else does.
@@adamcharles9090 to be honest, it’s really hard to tell how well it’s working. I’d assume I’d see at least a hint of the pink sealant if it had sealed a puncture, but I haven’t. For all I really know Muc-off sealant is absolute crap, and I’ve just been really lucky.
@@JMCyclingVideos Great video! Is muc-off still your preferred sealant? In my experience, it does stay liquid for a very long time but might not be strong enough for higher pressures for road tubeless. I've got a cut on a 28mm and plugged with a Dynaplug -- the muc-off sealant seals it to be airtight but after 10-20 mins of riding, the cut opens up again and sprays some sealant out. It does seem to reseal (assuming there is sufficient sealant in the tire remaining) but not fun to have multiple sprays of sealant onto the bike to have to clean later. I want to avoid ammonia sealants and was thinking Orange Seal Endurance but I guess you've gone away from it. Cheers!
Top up as needed. I’d check it more often than that just to get an idea of how often it’s needed. Climate has a big effect on the longevity of sealant.
Nope. Just add some and go. It doesn’t specify to do this, but I’ve added a tiny bit of water when topping up just to add back the moisture lost over time. It’s water soluble so adding it back in doesn’t hurt anything.
@@JMCyclingVideos wicked, look forward to hearing more about your experience with both. I'll be running the RSs this weekend at the local UCI event, debating on putting something with more knobs on the front but reckon just running lower pressure I'll have all the grip I need. (Following the Silca guide, I'll run 28 to 29 in the front and 29 to 30 in the rear, but I am running them in 45mm.
I boycott muc off because of thier false chain lube claims. You should do a video on your chain. I'm gonna start doing the silca hot wax with the UFO cleaner
Muc-off dry lube attracts an enormous amount of dirt during my gravel rides (Ukraine, moderate climate, no riding in wet conditions). Finish Line Dry works way, no, WAY better. I’m also switching to Silca hot wax soon, just to test it out. However, I’ve heard a lot of good reviews on the Muc-off sealant, so I’ll be trying it next week.

It would be nice if it lasted a long time. No one wants to have to do a lot more maintenance. I was really impressed that the Muc off lasted as long as it has.

@@JeffSinon I agree it could be luck. But in my experience it gets all the low hanging fruit. A dynaplug gets the rest.

After the 6 months, do i just top up the sealant?
Top up as needed. I’d check it more often than that just to get an idea of how often it’s needed. Climate has a big effect on the longevity of sealant.
@@JMCyclingVideos will there be a need to clean off the old sealant before topping up the new?
Nope. Just add some and go. It doesn’t specify to do this, but I’ve added a tiny bit of water when topping up just to add back the moisture lost over time. It’s water soluble so adding it back in doesn’t hurt anything.
Definitely airr liners. But the bigger question is are you still using the G one RS tires?
Yes airliners and yes to the G-One RS. I’ll be using them at unbound this year.

Vittoria air liners
You got it! Video will be coming out soon with the install.

Hmmm. What false chain lube claims? I haven’t heard of that. I actually used to use absolute black graphene wax but it was way too much work.
@@JMCyclingVideos zero friction cycling independent testing. He has alot of good info on his website
I’ll take a look at it. Thanks for sharing that.

Are you those tire foam inserts?
Ding ding ding! Vittoria airliners!
@@JMCyclingVideos Nice! I look forward to hearing what you think of the ride quality with them in.
Silca?
Good guess! But no, not Silca sealant. I’ve heard good things about it. Check back in a couple weeks and the video will be out.
@@JMCyclingVideos I've heard about Silca it works really well but dries out very fast...
It would be nice if it lasted a long time. No one wants to have to do a lot more maintenance. I was really impressed that the Muc off lasted as long as it has.
Silca Ultimate Sealant is widely known to work too good, sealing the valve cores from the inside so you can’t inflate the tyre after using it 😂
