Run out of Stan’s. Anything worse worth changing to? Any good deals?
Remember a post about stuff designed for ATBs…. Any thoughts?
Thanks
A single reviewer at off.road has reviewed most of them, some better options than Stans https://off.road.cc/product-types/accessories-misc
Excellent thanks. Found some half price Vittoria goooo from bikeparts.co.uk so will give that a whirl.

2 for 1, then a £5 off voucher on 1L bottles of oko hi fibre off eBay.

You can pretty much always find cheap Oko Hi Fibre somewhere, that link looks good though.
It's the exact same thing as the Halo Fibre-Tech in bikesandboots' link that got 4.5 stars. IME it seals about as well as Stans (who really knows? Punctures are a bit random) but it lasts better- it's water based and also water soluble so as long as you don't let it dry up completely you can re-dilute it with more water. (once it's dry, it's dry, though- like water based paint) It's fairly thick so some people recommend diluting it straight from the bottle, not sure it's necessary myself.
So it's cheap to buy and it lasts and it works, can't see past it. Only downside is you can't guarantee finding it in a random bike shop and you can't mix it with stans, which you pretty much CAN guarantee finding.
If you want to stick with Stan's (I always seem to return to it) keep an eye out for Halfords' regular 20% off cycling bits - combined with a Motoring Club £5 voucher it comes out at about £22 for a large bottle.
Anyone know if the Vittoria sealant is compatible with Stans (for topping up purposes)?
Is there a way of finding out without putting both in my tyres?
Just fyi
Got 1L stans for 26.09 inc post via eBay, was watching it and I just got it on offer. Via highonbikes
