Peaty's Tubeless Sealant
Press Release
Mountain bike legend, Steve Peat may have retired from racing Downhill World Cups in 2016 but he certainly hasn't taken his foot off the gas when it comes to pushing the limits of the sport. Peaty has been working closely with a team of scientists and product developers over the past two years to develop a revolutionary tubeless tyre sealant that will not dry out or ‘ball up’ within the tyre unlike most tubeless sealants currently available on the market.

The non-hazardous, non-toxic and completely biodegradable formula has been tried and tested by Peaty and a motley crew of the world’s best Downhill and Enduro mountain bike racers on the UCI Downhill World Cup, British Downhill and the Enduro World Series circuits.The biodegradable ‘nano-platelets’ in Peaty's Tubeless Sealant perform like platelets do in the blood and assist with the repair of larger holes and tears in the internal tyre. The ‘nano-platelets’ are completely biodegradable but look like blue glitter so if you do happen to blow a tyre off the rim, it looks spectacular!

Or can I expect you to come back and pick up 1000 pieces of glitter one by one so it doesn't pollute our trails for years and decades? Good to see a biodegradable option, Cheers to Peaty!
Several years?! You need to get out and ride more lad (or do more skids)????????
Most other sealants on the market are ammonia based natural latex products. The ammonia gasses off rapidly at atmospheric pressures and will form balls/ dry up within a couple of months when sealed within a tyre.
We have come away from all that and used a natural solvent and manufactured sealing agent to do the same job which means it will stay as a solution.
The first trial batch we ever produced and put into a set of wheels are still going strong 18 months later????????
I haven't replaced a worn tyre for longer than I recall. 90s maybe?! Last time I binned a tyre was bust sidewalls. Usually that last long enough to be sold with the bike. I don't skid, lessons learnt young and poor made me not skid hardly ever. And Finland isn't exactly Canada, no mountains, no big hills, no way I'm wearing out a tyre in less than a year unless I commute on it.
If peaty came and asked me for $25 i would hand him a bill without thinking, but if he offered me another bottle of this in return- i'd refuse.
Sorry, but the other products i've tried (and in 20 years of biking in very challenging environment, i've tried them all), including DYI sealant - worked significantly better.
I've heard of people using glitter for that purpose, not sure id trust the normal hard stuff near my bike.
But anyways if it doesn't dry out as described and doesnt clog up any pivots or whatever, the other brands can go to hell. I'm in.
$30 worth of homebrew is like a gallon and a half.
Here in Utah I need to top off my tires every other month and do a complete drain and fill on my fatbike every spring. That's like $80 worth of stans.
That's not including tire swaps and such.
My stuff lasts over a year so making it in bulk isn't detrimental. I have a box of ingredients in the garage and marked a beaker to all the correct fill levels. Takes me 10-15min with cleanup to make a batch.
My stuff seals smaller punctures and pinholes in the sidewalls better than commercially available stuff.
It's too think. Doesn't splash around the tyre to get to where it's needed. I might try add a small amount of water.
I spend over $1000 in tires a season.

I was pretty close to not bothering to comment, it just sucks how little this is on people's radar for how big of an issue it is. Here is a dude who could easily use his fame to raise awareness but seems to be just status quo.
Anybody catch the story about the Backcomb glacier being unable to host a snowboard camp this year because the glacier is too fragile? The owner of the camp has literally watched the glacier recede since he started running it!
That's another industry that has run status quo without regard for the sustainability of it's practices. Peeps need a wake up call.
We have made Peaty's Tubeless Sealant 100% biodegradable and non toxic to benefit the environment ( it also makes it much easier to get through coustoms if you are taking it overseas).
The pouches are threaded so refillable to reduce waste initially but our long term goal is to provide 100% biodegradable and recyclable packaging which we are working towards. ????
Thanks for the suggestions guys
@Silocycle: Thanks for bringing this up.
