I know, another lame tubeless sealant thread! Yes I did a search and didn't find much applicable info. So here's my dilemma. I've got 27.5x4.5 Barbagozi's on my Trek Farley. The lbs used Orange Seal and the last 2 times I've added Orange Seal, it has clogged in the bottle and in an injector so I've had to break the bead to get the stuff in the tires. I don't want to do that anymore so this time I'm changing to Stan's which has never been a problem in my regular bike.
I haven't added sealant since last April so when I started that process this week, I naturally discovered that the OS had dried up. The back tire had dried completely and has seemingly fused to the tire. The front still had some liquid and was also stuck but could be peeled off (a tedious task) bit by bit. Pics below. We've all been told not to mix sealant brands so ideally I'd like to remove all the OS before replacing with Stan's. But I'm lazy so I don't want to take hours to peel off the dried OS, which seems impossible on the back tire. So my question for you good people is can I simply add Stan's to the now dry OS which is coating the tires and no longer in liquid form? I've peeled about 1/3 of the front tire so far but can't even get any off of the back tire which is completely covered from the now rubberized OS. Here's the pics.
Back tire which has a nice, even coat of dry OS! Looks like spray on insulation!
