  1. I have some large cross section Tufos that I use in the winter and have been
    told that Stan's is better then the Tufo sealant to prevent flats. I also
    have seen the claims on the bottle of bicycle tube goo in the bicycle
    section of Wallmart which say they can fill up to a 4mm puncture.

    This set me to wondering what is the best sort of goo to use for which
    applicaitons and what the relitive advantages/disadvantages are?

    So far I am thinking only about Stan's, Tufo and Slime.

    Any input would be helpful!

    Thanks.

    Dave

    I have had the Tufo stuff freze at very low tempratures, not sure about
    stans or Slime...

    I have used Stan's and Slime and between those 2 Stan's is superior.
    It has latex crystals in it that repair larger holes than slime which
    is thin in comparison. Another tip is to use continental tubes that
    have presta style removable valve cores so you can easily inject the
    sealant.
