@justint1993 It all depends what tyres you are using. If you are using UST tyres then there's no need for sealant at all. You just add it for puncture protection. For non UST tyres, initially you'll need to add sufficient for it to seal and 180ml would be about right I guess, though you may need more. After that I just add about 60ml of Notubes sealant when I can no longer hear it sloshing around. Which is about every 4 months or so. I hope that answers your question.
great video, would a ust tyre be better when using a standard rim converted with ghetto or kit method or is regular tyre is best? any risk of burping / tyre coming off?
@fignon A good UST wouldn't require sealant (Maxxis High Roller UST for example) but other than that would offer little advantage other than the stronger sidewall making it less likely to burp, though I personally haven't noticed any burping with my non UST High Rollers.
@mindracing thanks for that, going to have a crack at it soon as i already run ust tyres on ust rims on another bike, i've read that the sealant can make regular tyres go "soft" after a period of time, have you experienced this?
Glad you liked it. It works fine. The drawback with this method is that you need to redo it if you change tyres, whereas the kits stay in place. You pay your money you take your choice seems to fit!

what size inner tube do you use for a 20in wheel
thanks

Sorry, I don't have any knowledge of 20" wheels. Maybe try a 16" tube? You just need a size that's tight.

@i1bydfalt Sorry, I don't know the answer to that. you could try 16".

I don't know about Green Slime. So far as pressure loss goes I'd say it's about the same. Glad you liked it!

Great Video! Do you know if that green Slime you can buy will work as sealant? Then another question, does it loose pressure faster then tube tires?
