Pumped it up to 115 and it held....road in this morning no problems
While I didn't see any sealant it sure seems like it worked. (previously I got flats even with sealant....sealant (orange seal) just sprayed everywhere)
My specific set up is Conti GP5000 28m at 115 psi. Conti race tubes (light but not super light) and Caffelatex for sealant)
Just curious how much Caffelatex sealant you used in the tube? Is this the “foaming” sealant I heard about? Also, when you put the sealant in, did you remove the valve core then inject the sealant with a syringe?
Thanks.
