Bang the right amount into your tubeless and away you go. I try and remember to change it every 3 months or so. Never had a flat running on it. Slight problem with the pointed dispensing cap which you have to cut the end off to start with. The first bottle i cut too much off so i had to be careful dispensing it - tricky as you have to dispense with the bottle upside down - used a judicious finger over the end. Also (the nature of the beast) it clogs as you are pouring so you tend to have to shake the bottle again. Minor quibbles that do not detract from a five-star rating. Great stuff!

I'm a Stans believer, it does all it claims. I've used Stans tubless for years. One proviso: it's best to use this system on wheels and tires you put a lot of miles on in a short time; possibly tires you wear out and replace every season. If left on rims too long, you need to add sealant periodically as the liquid evaporates. Then, the solid latex builds up on the inside of the tire, eventually adding a lot of material and weight to your wheels/tires. It's a mess to try to clean out. If the tires are on your second set of rims and are hanging in your garage, the latex solidifies in the bottom of the tire in a big stringy mass. For my spare set of wheels with mud tires (that I may not even use in a single system) I will stop using tubless with sealant and go back to tubes.

Stans Sealant

Stans is the best sealant you can use to seal flats. The one problem they haven't addressed or admit to however is that the sealant will cause oxidation spots on the wheel where dried sealant will retain moisture and cause the rim to oxidize. Stans claims differently but I know way too many people with this problem with both the new and old Stans. I'm hoping the oxidation remains a cosmetic problem and the wheels wear out before it becomes an issue. On the plus side, I've ridden my mountain bike with a number of thorns imbedded in the tire and not gone flat during the ride. I can also ride lower pressure without fearing pinch flats. Riding the road bike with tubeless makes for a much safer and more comfortable ride with no noticeable loss in speed. Riding at 85psi the ride is comfortable and handling and adhesion through turns is amazing. Pinch flats are virtually eliminated. You can still tear a sidewall and flat but the tire tends to stay on rim which makes controlling a blowout easier to control. There is a learning curve in going tubeless and using sealant. You need to remember to replace the sealant every few months and or flat and just add some sealant from a small carry along bottle. Also, I probably would not recommend Stans to the casual rider. If you're not doing 3000 a year on the road the negatives probably outweigh the positives. Three stars only because of the oxidation and drying out issues.
Stans for life!

Stans no tubes sealant works wonders. I've done three wheelsets with absolutely no issues whatsoever. The wheels have been Specialized 2Bliss specific with 2Bliss tires. I've used both an air compressor and an ultraflate c02 inflator to pop the bead onto the rim and both work flawlessly. I do find that I need to add a little air every week or two, but I don't mind that as I adjust the tire pressures depending on the terrain I ride anyway. You do need to refresh the sealant every six months at least, but I burn through tires that fast, so it works out.
