Wanted me to ask this question, he has heard of a sealant that can prevent blowouts and punctures.

I had a look on ebay of this sealant as the youtube videos were from UK BBC
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/SEAL-A-WHEEL-PUNCTURE-PREVENTATIVE-TYRE-SEALANT-250ml-/250645637239?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Mobility_Disability_Medical_ET&hash=item3a5ba4e877

Has anyone used it before for a motorbike? and do you think its effective?

I think that motorcycling is hazardous enough already. I would'nt use Arrowmaxes, let alone 'the cheap fix'.

 

[aj26]

Incase you have a blowout say ... halfway to singleton the point with the phone reception

 

[CammyGTIR]

Then I'd park my bike, use that sealant on a wheelchair or possibly a wheelbarrow (this is Singleton after all), and drag my ass somewhere else. I really get the feeling this product was meant for gentle commercial use, and will do diddly squat on a sport radial squishing lean angles that a wheelbarrow jerks off to at night.

or you could buy some of that tyre goop... the stuff made for cars and bikes. just warn the tyre place youve used it

I've got a can of Motul Tyre Repair which I chuck in the backpack on longer rides, you only put it in when you've already got a puncture though.

Tyre mousse or inserts are only good to maybe 100km/h tops, and that stuff you've got a link to is more likely than not not even that good. The problem is that the product unbalances the wheel, so you can't go faster than speed X, usually 100km/h or less.

 

[aj26]

Drew how much does that stuff cost?

 

[Drew]

I bought it two or three years ago, but I don't think it would have cost much more than $20 or I probably wouldn't have bought it

Good thread and the right air pressure helps keep punctures at bay

Yeah, this is about the same as the liquid ones, if its soft enough to be able to flow to fill in a puncture then its soft enough to flow to fuck up your tyre balance at hight speed.

Also, you'd expect structural damage to the tyre with that many punctures no matter whether it still holds air or not.

Sufficed to say the video didn't end with glory shots at a track day.

I guess the way to go is the Motul Tyre Repair, its cheaper than the goop short term but you never know you need it. lol

I've ridden on a mooso tube (the ones with heaps of balls in the rim) before. The thing is outright deadly.

I doubt they designed it for track days and that many punctures.

I have no idea how they work but i dont think it "flows" as such but more like soft enough the the air pressure in the tyre pushes it to a seal? Itd probably have some effect at speed but i dont think it would be much more than a slightly heavier tyre.

Correction, tyre "mousse" is not for motorcycles
