@onyerbike Which tubs are you using ?Some tubs, especially cheaper ones like Vittoria Rally's are bumpy, especially around the valve hole.
In the continuing search for durable gum wall tubs, I've order a pair of Schwalbe Lugano T. Cheap, Kevlar puncture strip, hopefully normally durable Schwalbe rubber.
Also ordered a bottle of Conti Revo sealant. I don't want to carry around a full 240ml in my jersey pocket, any suggestions for something smaller I could carry say 30-60mls around in ?@Dammit - How long does the Revo last in the bottle once it's been opened ? I've heard things like Tufo Extreme start solidifying pretty quickly once the bottle has been opened.

Not sure TBH, I buy Orange Seal when I'm in the US as that's commonly available, and I have a big bottle of Bontrager TLR as it scored the highest in the Slowtwitch sealant review. I also have some Stans which I use for tubeless and some Revo knocking around from my old bike, which seems to still be fluid. In terms of how long does it last inside the tyre? That I suspect depends on use, environmental conditions and the tube - I top the tyres off before going and doing something interesting such as high mountains etc.
My general approach is to have sealant in both mounted tubs and a spare pre-glued tub under the saddle, if I get a flat then that tub comes straight off and the spare goes on.

I have been having my first attempt at gluing tubs. Finished third coat of the rim last night - mostly nice and even although a few globs of glue here and there. Do I need to start again if it's a little bit bumpy in places?
