Hi North American MTBers. Can anyone suggest a readily available replacement for the Hutchinson Fast Air that I used to use in the UK? It’s a latex based sealant combined with Co2 to make fast repairs to tubeless tires mid race or on the trail. I am now Vancouver based so if you have experience in that town, shout up please.
I figure that pitstop will not be big enough, and given previous reports here on it’s useability I would like to avoid it.
Cheers.

I know it’s available in the US…and I would assume it is also in Canada as well.
I’ve just come back from Dizzy’s on West 4th and they say it’s discontinued!

Hmmm…that seems odd. Especially since that’s one of Hutchinson’s solutions for minor punctures with their road tubeless setups…
Just what I thought but a google for pages in Canada only came back with a different version with a hose like the innovations big air. I guess that could be their “evolution”.

You’re talking about this one, right? That’s the deal…
That’s the one. Kind of strange they changed to the flexi hose. I found the other one easy to use one handed. Ah well, they call it progress, even when it’s a step backward.

Naah…in fact, people running tubular discs are actually quite happy that this model exists (along with a “screw-on” crack pipe inflator). Kind of hard to use it on a disc wheel without those 2 things 
People running road tires are well serviced for repair cans, that was the only reliable mtb capacity one I knew of.
