Joe’s No-Flats Super Sealant


SO GOOD
Joe’s is the cheapest sealant here but it does the job. It’s on the thinner side, which allows it to coat the inside of the tyre nicely but remain mobile enough to fill any holes.

It deals with sidewall punctures fairly swiftly as a result. Our testing involved puncturing the tyres with increasingly bigger screwdrivers, and the Super Sealant did manage to plug a hole made by our biggest 6mm tool. The seal broke once we pumped the tyre back up to 20psi though.

NO GOOD
Many of the holes that it plugs still leak slowly afterwards. You need to shake the bottle more vigorously than the others here to get the particles mixed in.

Price 27$ for 1l

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0

  S ince their entry into the UK market a few years ago, Canyon have made a name for themselves as purveyors of well-made bikes that exhibit often extraordinary value.

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.
