    500km on the Pave/latex/sealant over the last two weekends, running around 80psi, much comfort, one puncture (that I spotted) which was sealed a) when it happened and then again when b) I pulled the thorn out.

    Mishaps include spraying myself in the face with sealant when tapping the valve stem prior to pumping action, but that's the kind of thing you do once.

    I purchased the Cafe Latex injector, put ~40ml of TLR in each tyre, I'll remove said sealant when I get home to see what is left, and top up both tyres.

    The rear Pave has lost it's nobbles in those 500km, be interesting to see how long they last - not very is my guess.

  • You'll get plenty more out of them. They wear visibly quite quickly and cut up like all Vittorias, but they do last. I've got 5,000km out of a rear before and I'm no lightweight.

  • Thanks vm. Finding I'm losing air after about 48 hours so not dreadful but the puncture resistance that comes with sealant will be fantastic!
