this seems to good to be true, anyone used it yet? the only downside i can see is that they ll be no more 96 page threads on how to glue a tub :)

    at first glance it sounds great, but from what i've read it's not something i'd use (see http://www.velocipedesalon.com/forum/f40/vittoria-magic-mastik-anyone-40786.html for instance)

    also, what happens if you get a flat that sealant won't fix out on the road? it's not a contact cement so the normal method of fitting a pre-glued spare probably isn't safe, you could carry tape i guess, ugh

    i'm sticking with mastik one
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    Good point on the spare issue.
    Today i ve just found an old but unused vitt tub in the garage, going to try it with a clean carbon rim.

    cant see them bring this to market if it doesnt work but there again they are Italians :)

    Or just use tape and fit your tub in 5 minutes ......

    Oh.
