It's going to be the mother of all goathead seasons... Convert to tubeless and use sealant or use slime tubes... I've never seen this many goatheads ever...

I sprayed 6gallons of 2-4D saturday on goatheads. They came in really early this year and are super thick. I think I'll have to invest in something stronger to kill these damned things.

Oh yeah, that stuff is the bomb diggity! I've snorted it, smoked it, injected it, douched my cat with it, and used it in a warm water enema. I've also used it as oven cleaner, dog wash, motor oil, laundry detergent, coffee creamer, chain lube, catfish batter, and unwanted back hair remover.

Had no clue it would seal tire punctures too. Man, you learn something every day. Thanks for the heads up.

Does it smooth down the 5 foot water bars and eliminate that slippery coyote poo? I think no Camelbak is complete without Gujie.

And salad. Never leave home without your salad. I hear that stuff from G-fit also works as a good salad dressing. Seals up those stomach ulcers in a jif.

I bought some for my CX DuraAce Hutchinson set up. The tires are 700X32 so volume is on the low side and the foamy bubbles in theory shouldn't have a hard time filling the space.

My CX has been relegated to commuting duties, I'll give it a try once fall gets here.

My non-UST ghetto applications has variable results onthe different tires/wheelsets I am running. I have gone back to tubes on my lighter set of wheels and using this as a liner. I've got a few feet of it left too..light and tuff.

You're the KING of Ghetto Apps!

I am the Mother and last holdout of nonbelievers and have yet to try tubeless.

What do you do run a strip all the way around your rim from bead to bead? I might try that or convert my wheels over with stans or something. I don't want to deal with goatheads this year because I'd rather ride my bike than fix flats.

The best recipe for sealent is something I call the "Tricky Dick Screwdriver"
It has:
1 part Jack Daniels
2 parts purple Kool-Aid
1 Jigger of Formaldehyde from a jar with Hitlers brain in it
