Tyre Protection for Bicycles
It’s not just motor vehicles that can benefit from safety on the move and the puncture prevention capabilities of our product. The specialised, diverse needs of the cycling community are also provided for.
We have a solution for the majority of different styles and sizes of tyres, (which can be confusing with at least four different sizing standards), for the vast range of different uses.Tubes, tubeless. Schrader valve, fixed Presta valve…….then we have the Presta valve with the removable valve core!
WHY USE BIKE-SEAL?
- Puncture prevention that stays within your tyre indefinitely without impeding performance
- Can seal most slow rim/bead seal leaks
- Proactive in slowing air loss to avoid a blow-out, even if the damage cannot be sealed
- No chemicals or latex with a shelf life to harden or “ball up” within a tyre, causing corrosion and performance/balancing issues
- A water base that acts as the medium for aramid fibres/filler particles to form a dynamic non-chemical plug that flexes with the tyre rubber
- Eco- friendly, non hazardous and water washable
- No shelf life
- No speed / distance restrictions
- A 250 ml bottle will protect up to 2 push bikes dependent on quantity required (any remaining product can be stored indefinitely for future use)
TUBED TYRES
- Insertion recommended with our 60 ml re-usable syringe – via the valve only.
- Requires removal of valve core- so suitable for car style Schrader valve and Presta valve with removable core.
- Cannot be inserted with fixed valve core Presta valve.
TUBELESS TYRES
- Insertion recommended with our 60 ml re-usable syringe – via the valve only.
- Requires removal of valve core- so suitable for car style Schrader valve and Presta valve with removable core.
- Cannot be inserted with fixed valve core Presta valve.
OR
Break the bead seal and insert directly between rim and tyre bead into the tyre.
INSERTION – GENERAL
Bike-Seal 250 ml comes in a recyclable, HDPE bottle with a telescopic pull–out cap, Schrader valve core removal key way and extension tubing. The clear tubing is sized to sleeve the Schrader valve, whilst the yellow connector is sized not only as connector to the clear tubing, but as a sleeve for the Presta valve, for insertion.
Insertion can be achieved via the 250 ml bottle alone. However we recommend purchase of our 60 ml re-usable syringe for more control, accuracy, ease of insertion and flexible insertion options with smaller quantities.
QUANTITY GUIDE
Broadly speaking we define use and recommended quantities within three main categories: Road – Race, Normal Road and Mountain Bike.
ROAD-RACE
The majority of these tyres are very narrow often weight is a primary consideration.
Recommended quantity: 30 – 60 ml per tyre
NORMAL ROAD USE
Tyre widths and circumference vary hugely.
Recommended quantity: 60 – 80 ml per tyre
100 ml per tyre can be inserted in some cases where greater protection is required. For example, long distance adventure riders, or the wider “every day” leisure tyre as used on tracks, or some electric bikes.
MOUNTAIN BIKE
Most MTB tyres start at 2.2” width, up to and in some cases beyond 2.8” width.
Recommended quantity: 125 ml per tyre
All quantities can be increased or amended to customer requirements. E.g. If the weight is the primary concern, stick to recommendations. If however long distance / touring is the primary use, it may be advisable to increase quantity for greater protection over varied terrain and isolated routes.
