Inner Tube Sealant?
I often watch the YT channel of Bram Hoekstra, a Dutch bike mechanic. He is very well informed, practical, and honest. In one of his programmes, he was talking about Tubeless vs TPU vs Latex vs Butyl Tubes and mentioned Muc-Off Inner Tube Sealant (I know Stan's is the name in North America). I last used an inner tube sealant maybe 5-6 years ago, and it helped me one time. Now, I've re-considered the matter, and added this layer of protection to my Vado SL inner tubes. I liked the Muc-Off system that is easy to use for both Presta and Schrader valves.
I experience flats very rarely but let us see!
I could not do it for my big Vado: For some strange reason, the inner tubes had irremovable valve stems there!
