The tire in the first picture is ever-trustworthy Maxxis Minion DHR II 29" 66-622 (29 x2.60 (WT)) (120 TPI) 3C MaxxTerra-Compound TR + E

Wow. Must be an EXO sidewall (vs EXO+). I’ve never seen a drop of sealant on the sidewalk of an EXO+ tire.

I’ve used a few including Stan’s, my preferred choice is Continental Revo. It’s ammonia free doesn’t leave any difficult residue when changing tyres and seals even the biggest holes in my experience
They’re all good and some times what you have or can get is the best

Zimmerframe, you really got it going this time!

I've been using Orange Seal for about 5 years and it's proven to be a great sealant for my tubeless tires. I use the type with what they call Nano-particles, I call it silver glitter and it works. The glitter coagulates the sealant on larger holes and seals them up quickly.

The best testament to Orange Seal is the ride which gave me over 160 goat-heads in front and rear tires. Pulled them all out and only lost around 5 lbs of air.

Honestly, I think any latex sealant will work but I do like the glitter in Orange Seal.

Another vote for Orange Seal, good experience for many years in the road bike, countless MTB & the gravel bike.

Pink Mucoff has been great so far, just make sure you put at least 160ml in .

Oko takes a lot of beating for longevity in the tyre, never seems to go hard like Stans and can be refreshed by simply putting 50mgs or a bit more of water in and going for a ride.

Downside is it will plug big holes which at the low pressures we run, eventually work there way out of the tyre which leads to a sudden big loss of unexplained pressure as it builds up a new plug, you look at your tyre, see what looks like the original plug and go searching for the new hole. Took me weeks to finally work out what was going on, solved by putting a patch on the inside of the tyre.

The other hassle and I think it’s common with all repair fluids, is the valve eventually won’t seat properly and will leak when you top up the pressure occasionally, for the cost of a new valve just fit a new one when you top up the fluid.

Orange Seal for me too - been using it for 3 years and fingers crossed have never had any sort of puncture that hasn't resealed and enabled me to ride on.
