I had my G One tyres set up tubeless with Stans sealant and after getting a puncture the sealant didn't seal the hole. Not good.

I've heard a couple of people say that the Orange Seal is better with tubeless road set ups so I've picked up a bottle of it to try.
Can I just empty out as much Stans as I can and refill with Orange Seal or should I pull they tyre off and clean out the left over Stans before adding the Orange Seal?

sorry, no idea on mixing the two

I've started using the stan's racejizz which is a bit thicker

If you are texting a new product I would clean it out properly.

I've just put some new orange sealant in my new schwalbe one road tyres as I had the same problem with Joe's sealant not sealing a hole. Will see if this is any better.

Joe's has been great in the mtb tyres.

I cleaned out my Corsa Speeds when I swapped. The Orange sealant definitely sealed better when mounting.

Looks like I'll be cleaning the old stuff out first then!

I'm using the Schwalbe liquid, looks like it's made by Stans.

Orange seal is great. As I'm running Shimano wheels had to use it, but its done a great job for me on more than one nasty puncture.

I had the same experience with Stans on the road (One pro 28mm tyres). It seemed to seal but then 'pulled out' and started spraying everywhere again until the tyre pressure dropped to 40psi or so.

Tyre off, superglued a patch to the inside, cleaned tyre and now using Orange Seal - no problems so far...

My One managed 60 PSI before "spraying the Stans". I haven't patched it yet, just moved to some GP 4 Seasons as the rear was worn. I noticed that the Orange just seemed to seal my Corsa Speeds onto the Hed wheels faster than the Stans did on my Giant wheels (both alloy). Very pleased with my LBS recommendation.
