How to repair tubulars: Goes Here

[slingshot]

Got a few small punctures in the new FMB cross tires today (damn goatheads). Filled with Stan's this evening, which seems to have done the trick. My question is, how long will Stan's sealant last? Will I have to reapply next year before cross season?

Also, there's a rumor that Stan's will deteriorate a latex inner tube. Anyone experience this?

Stans' bad for FMB/Dugast - ammonia if i remember correctly.
Cafelatex is what you want to be using.
as to the length of "staying" power it'll get you through this season.
get tire alert on the phone for next season.

+1 to Tire Alert, I have used his services for 10+ years.

For some reason I am thinking that Stan's changed their formula and it no longer contains amonia; can anyone confirm?

I like Caffe Latex but I def. have more issues with it gumming up the valves but it may have something to do with the dry Az air as well..

I thought the ammonia from Stans would only do harm to latex in the LOOOONG term, as in years, not months. Either way, last I heard, it still has ammonia in it.

for pimp ass FMB and Dugasts...why would you not want to repair/replace the tube after a season.
Knowing you have fresh latex is sexy, non?

Your point is valid. I was more thinking of road use where tires wouldn't last a full season.
