It’s hard to say. I was running Stan’s Race, which did not seal what seemed to be a fairly small hole. Not sure what caused it but I’d say it was finish nail size. So I tried to plug it. The plug made the hole larger and kind of tore a tiny flap in it. I have half a pint of Stan’s left that I might as well throw it out. Stan’s really should have plugged that hole. I ran Orange Seal when I put on my most recent pair of Roubaix Pros and that’s what I’m running in these new 5000TLs. I had a puncture large enough that I heard air escaping that Orange Seal sealed in less than two seconds. Fast enough that I didn’t even have to stop to add air to the tire.
When I get some spare time I’m going to try to patch the inside of the old tire.
