How Much Tire sealant to Refresh installed tires?
Quick Q - How much tire sealant per tire would you use to 'refresh' installed tires?
27.5 x 2.5 Minion on Specialized Roval rims using Oranage Endurance selant?
I haven't used tubeless since putting them on my Spec Stumpy HT, some 10 yrs back... and those were 26 x 2.25... and bike is now gone.
Now have a Spec Stumpy Expert FSR with above rims/tires and prior owner says the last time he put in sealant was early Summer 21, so I should prolly refresh the sealant - right now ! LOL!
tips are appreciated...
Thx
Yuri

Kind of depends on how long you want to go until the next refresh, but if it is all dried up, I'd put ~30ml in. I'd put in double that when I first set it up tubeless, but assuming you are injecting it through the valve stem, you are not needing to worry about the initial seal up.
My rule of thumb for when to add is simple: Take the wheel off and try to slosh the liquid at the bottom. If I can hear it, I'm good.

1 oz. per each inch of tire width. Round up for good measure.
In your case, at 2.5 I would put in 3 ounces.

Couldn;t hear any sloshing... figured better safe than sorry... put in 3 oz per... think it will work out.
Thx for the tips...
Ride On
