Review on 🚲 Panaracer Smart Seal Bicycle Sealant: 120ml (4oz) and 500ml (17oz) Bottles – Ultimate Tire Protection by Chris Tardy

There must be a warning sign!

I'm not looking for a sealant that can seal Stan's injector as well as the tubeless valve stem. That's what this product did, causing a lot of extra work and clutter. Panaracer advises that the product should be poured into the tire and not injected through the valve stem as with all other products. The valve stem was so clogged that a small drill was needed to remove the plug. After pouring the sealant and dropping the bead, you can see in the attached photo what happened when inflating the tire with a conventional floor pump. With other sealants, this confusion would not be necessary, since none of the rollers have to be removed to pour sealant. I've had over 5 pairs of Panaracer gravel tires over the years and love the brand but it's not their best. Let's go back to Stan.
