The amount of sealant you need depends on your tire size. For most mountain bike tires between 2.0" and 2.4" wide, use 2-3 oz of sealant per tire. If you're running bigger tires (2.5" to 4.0" like plus or fat bike tires), bump it up to 3-4 oz per tire. For gravel or road tubeless setups with narrower tires, 2 oz is usually plenty. The good news? This 1000ml bottle contains enough sealant to set up around 16 tires, making it a killer value if you've got multiple bikes or ride with friends who need to top off their sealant. Pro tip: it's better to use slightly more sealant than not enough—you want good coverage on the inside of the tire casing for maximum protection.
Stan's Original is formulated to stay liquid and effective for 2-7 months depending on your climate and riding conditions. If you're in a hot, dry climate (like Arizona, Nevada, or SoCal desert areas), you'll want to check and top off your sealant every 2-3 months since it evaporates faster. In more temperate or humid climates, you can often push it closer to 6-7 months before needing a refresh. Stan's has anti-freezing agents that keep it working in temps down to -20°F, so winter riding isn't an issue. A quick shake of your wheel will tell you if the sealant is still liquid—if you hear sloshing, you're good. If it's silent or sounds chunky, it's time to add fresh sealant. We recommend checking every couple months just to be safe.
Stan's Original was literally the first tubeless sealant ever made (back in 2001), and there's a reason it's still the industry standard over 20 years later—it just works. The formula uses a low-viscosity liquid that stays fluid longer than most competitors, meaning it doesn't dry out or ball up as quickly inside your tires. It seals punctures up to 1/4" almost instantly, and because it stays liquid, it can seal multiple punctures over the life of the sealant. Stan's is also less messy and easier to clean up than thicker sealants if it does spray out during a puncture. It's compatible with all tubeless setups (mountain, gravel, road), works in extreme temperatures, and has been proven reliable by millions of riders worldwide. Bottom line: if you want a sealant you can trust to keep you rolling, Stan's Original is the safe bet.
