UST tires

[Slaterock]

:confused: Why is it that my UST tires go flat every few days? Also, I have a rear UST that went flat on a ride, How do I patch?

You need a special type of patch offered through most bikes shops. Are you running Stans No Tubes sealant in your rims? If not you should be. Use a spray bottle with soapy water in it to locate the leak, or dunk 1/2 the wheel at a time in the bathtub. It's also possible it could be the valve stem or even rim strip.

I have ust's and they hardly lose air at all. Def get some stan's sealant if you dont have already.

Stan's = a marvel for the bike industry.

Keep using the USTs w/ the stan's, I just got my first set of UST wheels and tires, I will never go back.

...and if Stan's isn't working for you, use the Slime Tubeless tire version (make sure it is the tubeless version). It has fibers in the formula that help seal bigger holes/tears. I've had a couple cases where Stan's just blew through a hole, but never had Slime let me down. It is hard to find, though, so I do use Stan's sometimes (it's also a bit heavier).
