Hi
I currently use a Stan's tubeless setup on 3 bikes in the family so when tyre changes happen I use quite a lot of sealant. I buy from crc but can you buy in bigger qty's ? Is there an alternative cheaper sealant that works as well?
Thanks

Why buy from CRC, Tredz and JE James have it cheaper?
I know that not 'bulk', but almost 20% cheaper is reasonable saving

Schwalbe Doc Blue is the same stuff (same bottle, even has a Stan's logo on it) and is cheaper from the German sites.

I'm using some latex (off ebay, about £8 for 1ltr) that I've watered down - seems OK.

My LBS sells the big bottles without the cup etc cheaper. £18 I paid, may do a deal if you buy more?

Got it from bike-components.de - was cheaper for me than CRC, maybe not cheaper than the alternatives above - thought they did it in large bottles.

I think the best way maybe to buy in bulk from the cheapest place that do the biggest bottles with your group of riding pals. Or could this strike arguments then on how much your using.
I did buy lube in a bigger bottle which certainly was more cost effective.

I've used the On-One liquid and its a lot thinner and doesn't have the bits like Stans.

I'd rather pay the extra and have Stans
