The Problem With FlatOut In Bicycle Tires - It Works Too Great #flatout #tirerepair

What you should know when using FlatOut. It works great at stopping leaks, but it will also clog your air valves

I've experienced this too, but like you said, it's worth an occasional valve core change. This stuff works amazingly at sealing punctures. Better than anything else I've ever tried.

I've had flatout in my fat tire ebike for a year and never had my valve clog and never had a flat tire since i put it in either

I didn't get a valve stem remover with my flat out. Not the metal ones that are supposed to come with it. Most vendors probably took them off to sell them separately for extra profit.

If the stem valve is plugged up and we go to replace it while the tire has air in it, will the FlatOut shoot out when we unscrew the valve?

I put FlatOut in my ebike tires 8 months ago. I'm still able to put air in so I don't think they're plugged up. However, this is the first time I'm learning about the potential for it to plug the valve

I would agree and most Stem removal kits that you get have 10 or 20 replacement stems. Anytime I see any grey sealant popping through my tire when I get home .. I replaced the tube and swear at it for a while but it beats having to repair a tube on the road.

Keep the valve at the 12 o'clock
Position. Just like tractor tires
With Beet juice in them.

Too great for Presta valves. FlatOut is perfectly designed for the universal Schrader valves with much larger diameters and simpler mechanism!
I'll only own bicycles (e-bikes in my case) with Schrader valves! Keeps things simple and easy with FlatOut!

How much liquid a flat out would you put in a 24 x 3" tube?

[WaitingChrist]

Take a q-tip and clean the inside of the threads of the valve completely before you reinsert the valve stem

Why are you whispering? I never trust a guy who sounds like he's got something to hide

Yeah you don't want that crap in your tires, maybe if you had a lot of goat thorns to contend with but that's the only reason
