The best tubeless sealant will help you keep rolling, whether that’s on road, gravel or singletrack trails. Almost all the best road bike wheels and best gravel wheels are tubeless-ready.
Tubeless sealant is a liquid that sits inside tubeless road tyres or gravel tyres. The tyres create an airtight seal against the rim, allowing you to ditch your inner tubes. When you get a puncture, the sealant will try to escape the hole, clog up in the process, and plug the hole so that you can keep riding. You might lose a bit of air, but often it seals without you realising you’ve even had a puncture.

1. Stan’s No Tubes Original
Easiest to find
+ The most widely used in bike shops
+ Not bothered by extreme temperature
– Acrid smell
– Needs thorough mixing

2. Orange Seal Endurance Formula
Best for longevity
+ Lasts well beyond the stated time range
+ Does a good job coating the inside of the tyre without clumping
– Difficult to get properly mixed
Another good option is Orange Seal, which is compatible with Stan’s formula. It also does a great job of handling punctures, and unlike Stan’s, we’ve found it doesn’t ball up in your tyre as it dries….
