NanoPlatelet WS2 has less than 1\/3 the dynamic coefficient of friction of PTFE and 1\/4 that of Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2). The best part of this product is the submergible pouch!

Ultimate Tubeless Sealant contains 5% by volume, 6, 9, and 12mm chopped carbon fibers which have been reclaimed from recycled bicycles, carbon wheels, racecars, and aircraft components. A unique foaming latex formula allows for the very lightweight carbon fibers to be evenly dispersed within the sealant while riding, which allows for a higher fiber content than possible with Kevlar or fiberglass. At this high fiber loading, bundles of carbon fiber are carried directly to the puncture by the sealant flow where thousands of micro-bubbles collapse on each other, depositing their high stiffness carbon fibers over the hole. During this process, the carbon fibers form a dam of fibers against the tyre casing not unlike a beaver dam of sticks blocking the flow of a stream.

This superior sealing ability and hole reinforcing ability of the carbon fiber also allows for a higher concentration of anti-freeze agents in the sealant which means more effective sealing at low temperatures (6mm holes seal at 18deg F\/ -7deg C), as well as longer lasting sealant (7-9 months depending on humidity).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend adding replenisher every 90-120 days depending on temperature and humidity where you live to rejuvenate the sealant. Replenisher can also be used to replenish sealant on very porous tyres during initial install. Some casing tyres are very porous and will experience weeping of sealant throughout the casing sidewalls. Testing shows that weeping sidewalls can reduce sealant volume by 30% during the install, while also accelerating the aging of the sealant. Adding 30-50% of sealant volume back with the replenisher can ensure optimum performance and maximum life. CO2 can be used temporarily to seat the tyre, but should then be released and replaced with the floor pump to preserve the life of the sealant\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41948109537389,"sku":"SI\/160914","price":79.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/9436\/9389\/files\/SI160914-1.jpg?v=1721633399"},{"product_id":"silca-hot-melt-1kg-workshop-bag","title":"Silca Hot Melt 1kg Workshop Bag","description":"","brand":"Silca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41948169338989,"sku":"AM-AC-016-ASY-0130","price":179.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"silca-chain-stripper-64oz-1892ml","title":"Silca Chain Stripper 64oz 1892ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eCompletely strip and prep your chain for wax in 10 minutes.
