Tufo sealant/Valve problems?

Triathlon Forum

Anyone had problems with sticky valves when using the Tufo sealant? I had my 3 tires gooped up only to find that one of the valves stuck open, making it impossible to keep air. I removed all 3 valve stems and cleaned up the dried goop that prevented smooth valve action (I love that phrase) and that seems to work.

Other tips?

Hello there,

I don’t have any tips, but the same thing happened to me and my only DNF tri came from a valve that leaked. Once cleaned out they work fine, but from a preventative standpoint, pre-treating a tire is more hassle than it is worth.
