hello all,

I'm using the vittoria air liner, the vittoria sealant manual's says they don't use any amoniac liquid in the sealant component.
So I'm looking for a second sealant brand for the future GP 5000 STR,

all my friends says the GP 5000 STR has many small leaks in the corner wall and makes hard to seal.

I search some brands as

Stan's. No Tubes Original.
Effetto. Mariposa Caffélatex.
Orange. Seal Endurance.
Muc-Off. No Puncture Hassle.
OKO. Magic Milk.
Squirt. Seal.

So any ideas for the vittoria air liner with second party sealant brand with good for GP5000 STR??

thanks

Orange Seal. Nothing better and it doesn’t contain ammonia.

Orange. Seal Endurance.
I run Orange Seal "Regular" inside GP 5000 TRs. The endurance version lasts longer but doesn't seal as well according to various reviews.

My suggestion would be: "Joe's No Flats Super Sealant".

Orange regular seal. Also using it with gp5000s tr. That's a very happy combo

I search Stan's sealant had ammonia, for now Vittoria sealant and Muc-off are free of ammonia. I will test Muc-off with the vittoria air liner.
thanks for all. I see the Stan's sealant are the best for the 3mm and 4mm hole with a low price.

Seriously. Any answer other than Orange Seal is wrong. Why do people insist on learning the hard way?

Orange Seal is the best although Stan's Race is pretty good as well.

Muc Off is useless, it's only positive feature is that it's the best smelling sealant I've used.

I've used Muc-off and more recently Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex (which also does not contain amonia). Both have been very successful however I'd lean more towards the Caffelatex as the better of the two.

I've never used Orange Seal however it's over twice the cost of Caffelatex and I haven't had any issues with what I've used to to date so have had no reason to switch.

CaffeeLatex is horrible to remove from the tire.
