"lasts up to 6 months"
Yes, gets replaced every time it punctures, mainly because it all spurts out. I then patch internally and refill. Back to a latex sealant I think, certainly in the winter

Peaty's Biofibre sealant

Swapped in the summer to Peaty's having been wowed by the adverts and was very impressed. Typical thorn punctures were sealing in half a rotation. Now winters here and the roads are wet it's not sealing at all. If it does it just blows through again in seconds, same process on the last four puncture...

Re: Blagging bike boxes in Nice?

I’m remember the airport boxes being very flimsy. Agree with Dave. I bought one at the airport and they aren't anywhere near as thick/study as a 'normal' box that a bike would arrive at the shop in. Think more cereal box thickness. Pretty sure I managed to put my finger through mine boxing it up.

They've possibly scored an own goal there. There's a legal presumption that if the legislation doesn't say you can't do something then you can. So in this case because it doesn't specifically say/legislate that you can't wild camp you can. With most thing's the list of permitted activities/acts far ...

Normally I'd put the tyre on the rim remove valve inner, then inflate to seal first before adding sealant otherwise when using the inflator you can end up wearing most of the sealant (been there, done that). Then pump the sealant in through the valve, refit valve inner and reinflate. Appreciate you ...

Re: Flying Easy Jet with gas cannister/CO2/meths in hold bag

You can take CO2 cannisters in your carry-on bag, I have several times. I've checked with security and its fine. If I recall correctly there's something about being allowed to carry additional CO2 cartridges for lifejackets.
All the same cannisters.
