Used to use Stans, thought it was ok but had to use loads of it.

How much do you stick in a 29er? I'm new to this lark. Just done my wife's rear (ooer) I used 40ml as per instructions. Doesn't seem like a lot.

2 scoops for my 29er which IIRC is around 50ml

1 scoop in my CX

3 scoops in b+ though I think that's probably overkill.

I’ve used stans for a while and as mentioned above i think the monsters have to do the tyre and how well its sealed to the. As had the same type of tyre on a different bike/rim and had monsters in 1 and not in the other. Same result happens with different tyres on the same rim.

But stans always works well and I the same liquid for 6 months

Doesn't stans also react with co2, if you use use canister to seat the tyre that might shorten the life.

I've been using Stans for years

I generally keep up with top ups

I fill by pulling a tyre side off a bit, inspect and deal with whatever I find

Works - I think I'll stick
