I clean my sealant out when putting in a different brand. I use orange sealant and works well.
I did get leaky sidewalls from tan wall Corsa Speed, but was fine when riding, just when standing still. As I check the pressure before every ride it wasn’t an issue.
Clinchers are used in the TDF, two teams who were going to ise tubeless I believe changed to clincher (Bora and DQS). Possibly Israel Start Up and Qhubeka may still be on Tubeless.
I was advised to use Stan's Race. Sealed one puncture, and another eventually when I remembered I had anchovies.
Have come to the conclusion road tubeless just not worth it. Today’s fiasco involved a not particularly big tyre cut which spaffed orange seal all over me and my frame for 50 yards before sealing, before then unsealing and doing the same for another 50 yards. After this happened about 3 times I stopped to put in a plug, only the hole was too small to fit one. By the time I had forced one in the tyre had completely deflated and given I only had one co2 cannister with me decided I’d stick in a tube and take my chances with that rather than risk the tubeless failing again
Not the first time this has happened, I’ll be going back to tubes from now on I reckon.
Some people are just unlucky I guess, mate of mine seems not to have much luck either.
At risk of angering the puncture gods my last one was years ago now.
Stans Race is the one to use. Only downside is you can't top up through the valve.
