Which tubeless sealant lasts the longest?
Amongst the best tubeless sealants, Effeto Mariposa’s synthetic Caffélatex will last between one and four months, Stan’s No Tubes two to seven months, Muc-Off’s No Puncture Hassle lasts more than six months and Orange Seal between one and three months. Most other sealants will provide similar lifespans.
