What's your favoured tyre sealant

I've decided to give this tubeless lark a go, seems like it should be quite simple as I'll be using UST rims and UST tyres - and I have a track pump to inflate them.

Is there any brand of sealant to go for in particular? Any to avoid?

I was looking on CRC and found Joe's for £4.99.

    I use Joe's with great success :D

    I've been tempted by JustRidingAlong's wheel-milk as at £9.25/500ml it's cheaper than Stan's (£10 for 473ml) & Joe's (£10.99/500ml) however I believe that Stan's and Joe's is better on larger punctures due to the sealing particles in them.

    If you have UST rims/tyres, you don't need nearly as much sealant as with non UST set-ups, 50 ml should be more than enough each end. You'll still need to replace it once in a while (I change mine every six months), so it's be economic to go for the 500ml size.

    Joes works for me too, never heard any horror stories of it eating tyres too. Great stuff. Just make sure you shake it up before using it, it's got some big lumps in you need to get in the tyres to fill big holes :)
