We’ve carried out a series of controlled tests to try to find out which tubeless tyre sealant is the best at sealing holes in your tyre.

Mountain Biking product shot in the studio 4. Milkit Tubeless Conversion Kit Everything you need to go tubeless in one kit It looks like this is a copy of the milKit tubeless valve system that has been on the market for several years. It’s said that timing is everything. So you could say that we blew it on this product reveal – since it was last week and the one before that we were focused on tubeless tire troubles and triumphs.Injectors don’t just inject. They extract sealant, too. And getting old sealant out of a wheel can make even a bigger mess than putting it in. With Park’s injector, you can pull it out of the valve the same way you put sealant in. That way when you remove the tire, it might still be a little wet inside but you won’t get soaked. (You can also remove sealant with the injector from a tire that’s partially removed.)

The microfiber modules do a great job of sealing up punctures and leaks up to 6mm. It’s also biodegradable and non-corrosive and washes off with water. The biggest benefit of the KOM design, however, is the ability to remove sealant before removing your tire – eliminating virtually all of the mess.If you don’t have that type of sealant bottle/container, the other way to insert the goop is by leaving a few inches of tire off the rim and pouring the sealant into the tire. When you insert the liquid this way, there’s more risk of a spill since you have to then finish installing the tire onto the wheel. One possible hazard to note is that long valve stems can potentially inhibit your ability to remove all of the sealant. The valve above is from DT Swiss, and measures about 70mm in total length. With an 80mm or longer valve, the injector straw would not reach all the way down to the bottom of the tire, meaning that you couldn’t remove as much sealant.

tubeless Reserve Fillmore tyre valve review: Does your tubeless

This is where I look foolish for a good cause. It turns out that, as with most tubeless issues, the problem isn't the design. I just needed new tools. It's possible to use Fillmore valves just like other valves but you need a specific sealant injector that's different from most. When setting up road tubeless tires with sealant you might have a bottle with a pointed cap that lets you squirt it into the mounted tire through the valve (you first must remove the valve core). That’s a nice way to do it that reduces the risk of sealant spills. Effetto Mariposa offers additives that are said to make the Caffélatex sealant more effective. Russell Burton / Immediate Media In the first test, we used two Michelin Wild Grip’R 2 tyres, and tested three sealants with each tyre.Park’s TSI-1 is a handy tool tubeless riders will appreciate and get a lot of use out of. The only thing that would make it better is if it somehow had a built-in valve core removal tool since the tools are used together. Most discussion about the Reserve Fillmore valves revolve around the amount of air they can flow. The brand claims 3x the amount helps seat tubeless tyres and I think that resonates with a lot of people. The thing is that with a good pump and tape that is set up correctly, you shouldn't need extra flow to seat tubeless tyres. If that's all you are trying to solve, look elsewhere. To remove presta style valve cores you will need a seperate tool, however everything else you require is included. Skilled sealant technicians can use either approach without making a mess. But, for the rest of us it’s easy to get it wrong. If the pointy end of the bottle slips out of the valve for example. Or if you thought you had your partially installed tire on right and it wasn’t. Once the sealant’s in it, if it pops off the rim, watch out! Injectors Contain the Mess Muc-Off No Puncture Hassle 1. Muc-Off No Puncture Hassle If you want the best out there, this is it
