You can also just buy highly puncture resistant tires that basically have the Armor built in. Certainly the Armor is very useful as well if it is installed correctly. I like Stans for smaller holes, but will try Orange next just for fun, and probably FlatOut as well. I'm often far from home with no easy way to get help sometimes. I agree with the posts here they work, and can save your *SS. the two that get the worst-case use in the middle of nowhere. Those are my enduro bike and my Fat trails cargo bike.

that and an on-board portable compressor.Īnd of course on a tubeless setup its just the tire with FlatOut inside as a sealant. That stuff is good enough to make me feel safe. BUT if I can't fit it in under a tire as I cannot on some bikes, or I can't do a thornproof tube like on my fat bikes, then the default go-to is a tire and FlatOut. Tannus is a product too new in the market to say it will last for X years. Tannus talks about this and suggests you air down your tires in between rides so it takes longer for this to happen (seriously). Here's a thing about Tannus: At higher pressures (higher than fat bike pressures) it flattens out paper-thin. The front tire on my Bullitt has a puncture-guard belt inside of it. If you want to really bullet-proof your tires, use all three and more. I know Kyle (the guy in the video) and he's a straight shooter. Especially since we just crossed our local record of 64 days over 100 degrees fahrenheit yesterday. I am in my late 50's and have cardiac issues so walking home pushing a bike would be very very bad. FlatOut is a superior tubeless sealant since it can do what Stans and Orange Seal cannot: Seal big holes. When used as a tubeless sealant, and I hit a strip of a half-dozen roofing nails (from some kind of nailgun) it was able to seal the half-dozen holes so I rode home. It is rated for 1/2" holes and it has sealed a jagged piece of metal that was very nearly that on a tubed tire. Thats its chief difference over and above Slime. at best.įlatOut actually works very well on large holes. But calling Slime/FlatOut scams is just plain ignorant.

Its not that Tannus Armour and puncture resistant tubes are bad. He is either doing that or he lacks experience to be opening his mouth. The one you are working with is giving you advice tailored to what he sells.
