hello all

I would like to ask: is orange regular or orange endurance sealant - recommended for road pressure of 80-90Psi?
Does anyone have experience with it leaving a stain on clothes if it gets on it?
what is the difference between them?

in the event of a problem, can the smooth butyl inner / or Tpu be used or does it have to be cleaned first? are rubber gloves recommended in this case?

Thank you.

80-90psi seems high for road tubeless. Still, for anything above 4bar I use the regular one, as it works better for these pressures.
Tube is really the last resort. In 99% of punctures you use Dynaplug. In those super rare cases when only tube would work, I never bothered with gloves, but it's a messy job, and yes, you need to clean the tyre a bit - paper tissues are enough.

I run 80-95psi for road tubeless because I'm limited to 25mm tires on my older Colnago. I figure that if I get a flat I may have to ride home on 60psi. (I haven't got a flat in 6 years with GP5000TLs and orange seal).

Personally, I wouldn't ever touch a product like the Endurance version. You are trading sealant longevity for sealing ability. I'd always rather have maximum sealing ability. I don't mind topping up every few weeks during the summer season as I have a relatively quick and clean procedure.

I run 70-80psi with regular orange. It works fine. I've only had one incident that required a plug. I can't comment on higher pressures.

I had trouble with the Endurance formula not sealing. I think, when it's been in the tire for a long time, even though it's still liquid, it loses its sealing capability. I had small punctures that wouldn't seal until I injected fresh sealant into the tire. I switched back to OS Regular. On the OS website, there's a chart that shows Regular seals better than Endurance.
