[url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/specialized/air-lock-tyre-sealant-ec018205 ]Specialized tyre sealant?[/url] Anyone used it before? Especially interested if anyone used it going ghetto with it?

Saw it for a keen price in the LBS so thought I may spend a rainy evening this week seeing if I can get tubeless up and running just to see which I prefer.

Can I assume that if it doesn't work, or tubeless ain't your bag then you just clean sealant from inside of tyre and slap a tube in. No lingering effects from sealant? (not sure what effects but just want to check)

It's designed to work with inner tubes, not a tubeless option.
I run bontrager tubeless ready tyres and sealent to keep the weight down. Works great but requires a tubeless rim or conversion kit. Be interested to know if the specialized stuff is a suitable 'cheap' alternative to the bontrager sealant.

I wouldn't touch it for tubeless, especially considering Specialized withdrew their proper tubeless sealant stuff... http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCEqProduct.jsp?spid=37277&eid=355

cheers, just gone with the JRA stuff and will have a play this weekend. Not promising if specialized have withdrawn their stuff. No wonder it was cheap.
