Hi,

I was wondering how long a bottle of the sealant will last for once opened? Will it separate and harden like the sealant left in a tyre for six-months - or will it keep for a year or two?

    It will be fine, maybe form a few lumps, but nothing major

    Cheers - fancy trying the new Stans Race sealant, but it only comes in the two pint containers.

    Is it lighter or more aero? :lol:

    Supposedly seals faster and deals with bigger holes. But only for tubeless and can't inject it through valves have to poor into the tyre.

    You could try the old trick of adding some ball bearings (or glass marbles) to the bottle to replace the volume of the sealant that is used. Just make sure they don't get in the tyre the next time you use it!
