Yeah, was just trying to say the new Shwalbe stuff is sealed out of the box and doesn't need sealant to keep pressure - like UST.
No idea how resiliant it is - I have TLE Racing Ralphs on my 29er which is still borked. I do know the UST stuff is weighty because it's fecking bomb proof.
FWIW the Hans Dampfs on my 26er have done amazingly well; trips to alps, bike park wales, surrey hills but are still holding up well.

Love the Conti protection black chilli and have relegated my Schwalbe Rons and Ralphs to training, replaced by X king and Racekings.Was rewarded with a Raceking protection puncture at Torq 12hr. I find Stans only good for blackthorn etc. Even the smallest cut seems to defeat it until it's been left for a while (ie overnight when you get back).
You should try riding schwalbe rubber anywhere flinty like round here. 5 holes in one ride. Never again. Continental ProTection Black Chilli etc has done 3000+ miles no holes though.
