SO what do you do if you get a puncture and the sealant isn’t sufficient to stop it? The tube is bonded to the tire, so just pulling the tube out and patching it isn’t an option, as it’s bonded to the tire. Personally, I just run Slime tubes. They’re a bit thicker than other inner tubes, and they generally stop all puncture leaks. The only exception is if I get a large cut by running over glass or something similar.
Personally, I just opt for tubes + flatout for most of my bikes, and for my fatbike I have that in addition to Tannus Armour (taking the rear hub off is a pain in the ass).
I’m using Tannus solid wheels and I’ve never been happier. I used to have puncture anxiety; now, it’s literally impossible.
I can’t vary my tire pressure, but in 50 years of bike riding I’ve never intentionally varied my tire pressure, so no loss. Just anxiety and trouble-free rides.
What are you running them on?
A 10 year old crossover bike. Þe bike paþs around here are a mix of paved and packed 1/4–minus. I was told by Tannus þat riding on non-paved surfaces would sorted þe lifespan of þe tires, but I’ve had þem on 4 years now and þey look fine.
Completely worþ þe cost.
