I've experienced this too, but like you said, it's worth an occasional valve core change. This stuff works amazingly at sealing punctures. Better than anything else I've ever tried.
I didn't get a valve stem remover with my flat out. Not the metal ones that are supposed to come with it. Most vendors probably took them off to sell them separately for extra profit.
My valves clog all the time. They leak and then I have a hard time filling them. I might be putting in too much FlatOut and you have just the right amount. Thanks for watching.
If the stem valve is plugged up and we go to replace it while the tire has air in it, will the FlatOut shoot out when we unscrew the valve? I put FlatOut in my ebike tires 8 months ago. I'm still able to put air in so I don't think they're plugged up. However, this is the first time I'm learning about the potential for it to plug the valve
You have to be careful because the stem valve will shoot out like a bullet if you don't back it out slow and hold tight to release the pressure. I got a small squirt of flatout when removing the valves, but nothing of significance.
@@dowblab It took about 4 or 5 months months for the 26 x 2 tires. The 26 x 4 tires were still good after seven or eight months when I gave that bike away.
I’m thinking when you put the bike away for the day/ night rotate your valves to the high side of the wheel. This product stays in a liquid state while in the tire correct? This is new for me as I was just about to order some and saw this video, please help me out if I am thinking wrong. If the valves are low all will collect at that point. Will be interesting to see if this helps.
@@nathanclaytor4083 Great idea. Let me know if this works. I thought with the centrifugal force of the wheel rotating that the little fibers would get stuck in the valve anyway. But maybe not. The other factor I considered, but have not tried is putting different amounts of FlatOut in the tires. Their instructions are vague and a 4" fat tire bike tire would need a different amount from a say 2.4" tire. It could be, I'm just putting too much juice in the tire. But for now, the stuff works great. It's just the valve changes are a pain.
I'd use 1/2 of a 32 ounce bottle. If you look on the back of the bottle, it shows the types of applications it's made for. Your size tire fits somewhere between the wheel borrow and travel trailer tire range. The stuff really works for punctures. Like I said in my video, the only drawback is that it can plug the air valve. I hope this was helpful. Thank you for watching my video.
@@Steveshappylittletreeslol since I've been using fat tires more, I don't get flats anymore, I got one in summer 2020. When I was younger I almost quit riding all together though cuz I was getting flats everyday in 100° Florida heat. I change the way I do things now, but I live in the North east now where we don't have goat heads. So much of it is in a tire and the set up.
