This Hutchinson Spider Tubeless Light tire has been used for a few months with about a scoop of Stan's for puncture prevention. Then I took it off the bike to mount other tires so I flushed most of the liquid that remained. Tonight I was getting ready to mount it again but there was a small white deposite inside the tire... well, so I thought. I pulled and it was a very elastic rubber feeling that pulled away from the rest of the tire.

I'm now wondering what it is. A thin layer of Stan's sealant that is all over the inside of the tire or a layer of the casing that is delaminating from the tire? Is this tire toasted? the thread is still in great shape, it was a front tire but I was going to put it as a rear now...

I just had a UST Spider give way on the trail. Neither the mechanic nor myself could figure out what was wrong. At first I thought the rim needed a good truing, but it was fine. Then when we put the tire back on it pulled the rim outta whack. I've had them for about a year, and have run Stans No Tubes the whole time. I swear by that product, so I can't tell you one way or another. But I am taking that tire off completely tomorrow and will be looking for the same affect as yours. We both think something bad happened to that tire.

It is the Stans.

No worries, Stan's leaves a film you can peal off like sunburned skin. No reason to do it, unless you like peeling sunburned skin.

Well I do like to peel off sunburned skin... Thanks for the info guys.

Had a friend that had that same problems, seems that the rubber used on certain batches of the Spyders have an adverse reaction to Stans.

In my friend's case he got a replacement tire from Hutchinson and was told not to use Stans on their tires and use their sealant instead.
