Effetto mariposa is the most effe tive sealant i have tried.
Road tubelsss is easy with the right rims and tyres. Fixing them on the road is easy. Tyre worms and fkexible superglue is the key. When you reinflate use a pump and put enough pressure in to get you home. 40psi is more than enough. When at home try higher pressures and see if it holds. If it does not repair again. I have shoved a screw driver thougb an irc tyre with a 4mm shaft and the sealant tried to seal it wiggled it about then pluged and glued the hole. Tyre fixed in a minute and it held 90psi. I have fixed sidewall cuts with flexible superglue and low pressures could be held. By apply more glue every day the tyre after a week could hold high pressures. Did another 3000km on that tyre.
