Removing tubeless sealant
Shimano RS700 rims (road rims), Grand prix 5000 AS 28-622 tires with Effetto Mariposa sealant.
The new tires were installed in May 2023. I removed tires after 3200 klm since new to removed the residual sealant, and recharge with new. I had occasionally added sealant as required.
Some of the thick residue was peeled off the tires. The rest was easily removed by holding the tire under hot water, and rubbing the sealant by hand; about 10 min per tire.
The thick residue from the rim well was easily removed by hand, but the hardened residue from under the rim hooks was not.
I removed the thicker pieces by scrapping under the hook using a plastic tool; it was a hassle, and took some time considering I didn't clean it perfectly.
I have used Stan's sealant in the past, and that was even harder to remove.
Can enyone recommend an easier solution?
