[Closed] Ghetto tubeless. How much sealant do you put in ?

I've always put 100ml in because I think that's what it said in the original instructions.
Any advantage to using less or more ?

Would it take longer to dry up if I used more ?
Does it dry up at the same rate anyway, so I might as well save some by using less ?

100ml for me too - Seems logical to me that more sealant = better chance of sealing and also longer for it to dry out. Advantage to less is simply that it weighs less.

You'd think the drying rate would be proportional to the volume of water.

I tend to find it dreis up well before I forgewt to renew it (and inevitably puncture) so I just carry tubes...I also find that the sealant I put in teh well of the rim to aid inflation gets glued to the tyre and ruined so I CBA renewing it. Guess I should infest in removeable valve cores.

I use about 60ml in 2.35" Rampages - works well (so far!) for me.

I'll stick with 100ml then.
If I was a bit better organised, I'd make a note of when I filled each of my tyres and how long it took to dry up and experiment with different amounts of sealant.
