The increasingly the vehicle is used, the largest the plug will be. If you remove a puncturing object, we recommend that you immediately use the vehicle. Rotation of the tyres is important in the sealing process. The plug is mechanically formed; it is not a chemical reaction. The plug is worked within seconds and the puncture is sealed with scrutinizingly no air loss. With Bike-Seal tyre sealant you may not plane know you have had a puncture. What if I get a staying during installation? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T01:37:33+00:00 What if I get a staying during installation?If a staying occurs – don’t panic! Remove the sleeve from the valve, and poke through with a contact cleaner /spray can straw. If you wish you can use moreover use a compressor to wrack-up through. When clear, re-sleeve the valve, capsize the bottle, and protract squeezing the snifter until the correct quantity of product has been inserted. Is the value of Bike-Seal installed in the tyre important? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T01:36:17+00:00 Is the value of Bike-Seal installed in the tyre important?Yes. It is most important that the recommended quantities are installed in the tyre to be treated. The recommended using rates will ensure the maximum goody and requite protection for the legal life of the tyre. How is the sealant installed? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T01:34:42+00:00 How is the sealant installed?Installation is achieved via a commercial 20L pail, or self-insertion via a handheld bottle. Full instructions are given on the box / bottle. With valve at 5 or 7 o’ clock, remove valve cadre with tool provided, deflating tyre. Pull out telescopic tube and nail extension tube if required. (Motorbike will require extension tube). Slide wordage tube over the valve. With the snifter inverted, hold snifter so the tube and valve are as straight as possible and squeeze bottle.Protractsqueezing Bike-Seal through the valve. This may take several goes, until the required value has been delivered. Remove tube, wipe spillage with wateriness cloth. Replace valve cadre with tool provided, finger tight. Re-inflate tyre to manufacturer’s recommended pressures. Is Bike-Seal expensive? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T01:33:20+00:00 Is Bike-Seal expensive?No. However, we do not wish to compete with cheaper products on the market, and neither do we need to with a proven, unrivalled track record world- wide.

It can never be said a plug is permanent largely considering it is solely dependent on the forfeiture incurred and any forfeiture can worsen over time. Is it necessary to fully unshroud the tyre surpassing installing the sealant? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T01:26:36+00:00 Is it necessary to fully unshroud the tyre surpassing installing the sealant?The 20L pails use specially designed pumps which can install the product in partially deflated tyres. However with the snifter applications deflating the tyre is necessary. Can Bike-Seal be used to repair a punctured tyre? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T01:22:54+00:00 Can Bike-Seal be used to repair a punctured tyre?Yes. It is possible but the main purpose is to stop punctures, therefore enhancing safety, although realistically for many reasons not every puncture can be prevented.Surpassingtreating the tyre it is necessary to have a source of compressed air such as a foot pump misogynist to re-inflate the tyre to its correct pressure. With Bike-Seal inserted, rotate wheel so punctured zone is at 6 o’clock. In this way, the product will imbricate the inside of the puncture. Re-inflate tyre. During inflation, product will be forced into the puncture by increased pressure. When re-inflation is completed, the bike/vehicle should ideally be ridden for a short distance. This loads the tyres and increases the strength of the plug formed. Does Bike-Seal have any speed or loftiness restrictions? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T01:20:50+00:00 Does Bike-Seal have any speed or loftiness restrictions?No. Bike-Seal has neither a speed or loftiness restriction. If however you are regularly traveling at greater speeds (130mph plus), or competing; we recommend emailing or telephoning to inform us of your specific use, so we can requite a bespoke quantity to offer the weightier coverage possible whilst not compromising balancing and/or performance at upper speed. Is Bike-Seal constructive in both tubeless and tubed tyres? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T01:13:33+00:00 Is Bike-Seal constructive in both tubeless and tubed tyres?Yes in both types. It is up to 95% constructive in tubeless and 75% in tubed tyres. Will conventional tyre repair procedures be prevented? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T01:08:50+00:00 Will conventional tyre repair procedures be prevented?No. If the tyre is damaged vastitude the worthiness of the sealant to plug the hole, the tyre can be plugged in the normal manner roadside. The commercial tyre repairer simply needs to wipe the zone virtually the slum clean, and then wipe it with a water soaked rag. The tyre can then be repaired using normal methods. it is necessary to remove the remaining sealant, to re-balance the tyre/wheel. Once well-turned Bike-Seal should be replaced either from a 20L pail or a bottle. What are the applications for Bike-Seal recommended quantities? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T01:11:58+00:00 What are the applications for Bike-Seal recommended quantities? APPLICATION QUANTITY PER TYRE MOUNTAIN BIKE 125 ML SCOOTER – SMALL 125 ML SCOOTER – LARGE 250 ML MOTORCYCLE – SMALL 125 ML MOTORCYCLE – LARGE 250 ML SMALL-MED FAMILY CAR 250 ML LARGE FAMILY CAR 375 ML SMALL VAN 250 ML SUV, LARGE VAN (VITO, TRANSPORTER ETC) 375 ML 4X4, DEFENDER, PICK UP 500 ML   Please telephone/email specifics for confirmation of any bespoke needs including recommendations for frequent upper speed use. For road going vehicles it is essential that the wheels are correctly well-turned prior to installation and the tyre re-inflated to manufacturer’s recommended pressures. Bike-Seal will not upset or yo-yo balancing of a pre-balanced wheel/tyre, as long as recommended quantities are adhered to. How will I goody if I install your product? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T01:03:31+00:00 How will I goody if I install your product? Bike-Seal can stop up to 95% of punctures in the tread zone from the usual causes. The biggest single goody is safety. This is an “active” product, so prior installation will protect the user from catastrophic air loss, therefore enabling you to protract your journey safely. Slow air leaks are eliminated which ways longer tyre life and lower fuel consumption, although the latter is minimal for Motorcycles. Most blowouts in cars, vans and HGVs are caused by excessive heat build up in the tyre scrutinizingly unchangingly caused by under inflation. Slow air leaks increase this risk but are prevented if our tyre sealants are used. Equally important is the fact that Bike-Seal is homogeneous, and will not separate at any speed or when the vehicle is stationary. Will Bike-Seal stupefy my TPMS within my wheel? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T01:01:51+00:00 Will Bike-Seal stupefy my TPMS within my wheel?Bike-Seal is TPMS uniform in most cases and should not stupefy this system. Most TPMS are electronic sensors as opposed to a pressure valve, therefore gas does not enter a pressure system. Most work on tyre circumference and rotation. When gas is lost due to a puncture, the circumference of the tyre is reduced, therefore the rotation speed increases. It is this difference that is picked up within the ECU which is programmed to convert to a pressure reading. Further, due to rotational forces, the product will be forced yonder from the wheel. The two most worldwide failings with TPMS are “Radio Waves” which interfere with the signal, and batteries within each unit. Some ‘after market ‘ and older systems rely on ‘pressure’ as they nail to the valve. Bike-Seal is not recommended for these systems as there is a possibility of our product blocking the unit. How do I know if my valves are suitable for insertion of Bike-Seal? Puncture Prevention 2017-01-11T00:59:39+00:00 How do I know if my valves are suitable for insertion of Bike-Seal?As a “golden rule”, if you can pass a spray can straw through your valve with the cadre removed, then the valve is suitable. Some right wilted valves can be problematic to self-install with a Bottle. This is considering the internal sink of the valve is sometimes reduced and therefore restricts insertion, and repeated blockages may occur when installing. If the wrench is not tight and you can see, ovality is not compromised, self-insertion should be straightforward. If the valve wile is tight or you are unsure, we recommend dealer installation via a pump. Which Bike trademark of tyres?

Seals up to 15mm diameter puncturesAs the tyre rotates, the sealant spreads evenly over the inside surface. This is a mechanical process not a chemical reaction. Immediately a puncture occurs the air pressure in the tyre forces fibre particles and fillers suspended in the sealant to interlock, forming an snapped plug which prevents remoter air loss. This whoopee is completed within 2-3 wheel rotations. It happens so fast that riders will often be unaware of the occurrence of a puncture. Later when a tyre is inspected, the rationalization of a puncture such as a nail can be safely removed. No remoter whoopee is necessary, it just works. Get Social Puncture Prevention Sealant The Director is an Advanced Motorcyclist, Free Wheelers member and IAM Observer. He stumbled wideness this sealant product having spent in glut of 2k within 18 months on new tyres, due to punctures. Frustrated by numerous other products which were a quick fix and temporary measure, which proved expensive and ineffective; he worked with the UK importer to provide an constructive wordage system for this innovative product. This led to the insemination of the family run company, Bike-Seal and subsequently Auto-Seal.
