I have heard about this solution that one can put in a tyre and it will seal up the tyre and stop air from escaping the tyre. Any information if it works or whether or not it is available in India?

There are two brands available(that i know of)
GULF
MOTUL.
both are priced ~300.
Yes they work. Had a puncture just after rohtang pass.this helped

Arpan I think you are talking about puncture sealant that one uses to seal the punctures. There is also I a liquid that one can fill inside their tires to make sure in the event of a puncture tyre pressure doesn?t drops much. Just like with the tires of Honda unicorn.

i too will be doing research on this matter once i am back home.
i had seen it in asian sky shop when i was a kid long ago. i want to use it for leh ladakh as well.

There is something like that for cars in India. The same can be used judiciously for bikes. Not too sure whether it's specifically available for bikes too. Don't remmeber the brand, but I reckon Motul, Wurth or some known brand must deifintely have it here.

hmm... another thing I am interested to know is the minimum operating temperature of a product like this. Especially since the vehicles are parked outside and at night temperature in ladakh can fall to minus degrees and that is even true some time during the day as well.

You mean the material inside the "Tuff-up"tube ?
Is the the same as tyre slime?

[Yogesh Sarkar]

yup some thing like tuffup tubes, I think tyre slime does the same thing. has any one used it? if so what has been your experience with it?

Tyre slime as I've used earlier is simply unbeatable. My mech too says that it can work at Leh temperatures.

Have you got it filled? if no then i will wait for your review before trying it out.
