Reviewed: Orange Seal Endurance

 

    I have been riding tubeless for years now. I have always used Stans until this season. I will say that I have never had a problem with Stans but I always seem to make a mess. I did get to the point where I was only spilling a few drops on the floor while adding new or fresh setup. Whenever I would go into the shop to set it up I would inject Stans into my wheels but didn't have the equipment at home. Brian at EPBC tossed me a jug of Orange Seal Endurance and told me to try it out...

    I would have to say that my first impression was a good one. The bottle comes with a screw in applicator tube to inject the sealant into your wheel for leak free setup. because of this the whole tubeless setup start to finish took me just a few minutes. That in itself was an improvement over Stans. Also a bottle was less expensive. Put that on top of the ease of setup and we have a winner.

    First ride out I went to our MTB Clubs new trail that is still a little furry in spots. I intentionally rode through a few thick spots that we are planning to cut into trail. There were plenty of thorns and who knows what the trail surface looked like. I was pioneering! When I was finished my ride My pressure was close to starting but no flats. I did have a few thorns in my tires. Sealant did its job. I have been riding the Endurance blend for 3 months now and will not be going back to Stans as long as I can get Orange Seal.
