I need some sealant to mount my tyres Racing Ralph on Crossmax SL UST Rims but any shops near me can only provide Bonty Juice or Slime. To get Stans will take a couple of days or lets say Tuesday earliest, just wanted to know If anyone has any knowledge of these or should I just wait.

Thanks

I've used Bonty in an emergency once, worked fine and stayed in for weeks.

I use bonty superjuice (I've a nasty latex allergy) and it's fine. If you really want a latex sealant how about homebrew with liquid latex from an art shop, there have been a few threads on here about it. More to the point, if you are in that much of a rush, just stick inner tubes in until you get the stans delivered.

I think the valves are just held in with a locknut, sealed by a rubber washer.

I've settle on a solution of the following, for a slightly thicker, more consistent mix than I previously posted...

1 part latex
1 part slime
1 part anti-freeze

Putting water in was just thinning it out too much, the solution listed above seems to work very well for me.
