all about the

Stans No Tubes Standard/UST Tubeless Kit

Stan's Tire Sealant stops slow leaks and punctures up to 1/4 inch if used properly. Stan's consists of a special blended Latex Emulsion suspended in Ammonia.  The mixture has spongy burrs that are there waiting to wedge themselves into any larger puncture that catches you off guard on the trail. There is always some amazement from onlookers when you hit something and a puff of white smoke comes out of your tire for a few rotations then that's it... voila, usually you just keep on riding.

This is a refill for the kit that converts standard (non tubeless) tires to tubeless and also works with any tubeless tire or tubular tires. The Solution can be used year round, even in sub freezing temperatures. It will not throw the tire out of balance like other sealants are known to do.

Straight from Stan:


Stan's Tubeless System offers two sealing points on the tire versus other tubeless systems which use only the bead lock as their sealing point. First the bead lock is sealed, as well as the lower portion of the tire and rim to create a second inner seal. This unique design allows you to break the bead lock seal without losing air pressure. Secondly, the inner seal flexes inwards with the tire to maintain air pressure.

The patented Rim Strip makes installation simple. It can be removed as easily as a tube and can be used over and over again. Time involved can be less than 10 minutes per wheel. With this system you can lose rotating weight in an area that previously was not possible.

Your lightweight wheel set can be converted to a tubeless set up with only 56 grams of added weight per wheel. Saving hundreds of dollars over purchasing new wheels.

No need to worry about the dreaded pinch flat.


Possibly never having another puncture flat again because of the self-sealing qualities of Stan's Tire and Rim Sealant.


You will be able to keep using your lightweight tires and not be limited to buying expensive and much heavier tubeless specific tires.


The New Molded Rim Strip features a new Presta valve stem with a removable core allowing you to add sealant without removing the tire. This removable valve core will make inflating easier by increasing the air flow into the tire. Removing the valve core also allows for cleaning or easy replacement.


Stan's Tire & Rim Sealant can also be used to seal punctures and slow leaks that occur in most tubeless tires. As a result, your tubeless tires will hold air for longer periods of time.


Other Information

If you are interested in rotating weight (and who's not!!) you can lose anywhere from 100 grams up to 400 grams of rotating weight per wheel set.This System does not require any modifications to your existing wheel set. If you are not satisfied with it, all you do is remove the rim strip, and put your old heavy tube back in and go riding.


The System requires very little mechanical ability to install.


It does not use any glue and you can change a flat the same way you do now.


Lower Air Pressure, Better Traction and Ride


Stan's Tire and Rim Sealant will usually last from three weeks up to three months.  At that time you simply add more. (Time will vary due to different tire characteristics). It doesn't leave much mess in your tire.Stan's Tire and Rim Sealant can also be used in tubeless tires for puncture resistance and STOPS leaks.Once you seal your tires they will not lose air pressure.


What happens if I get a flat on the Trail? --    Do like most riders, and bum a tube from one of your pals because they always carry one. Stan's Tire & Rim Sealant does not use any glue, so you can change a flat the same way you do now.

This kit is used to convert some standard rims into rims that will use the stan's sealant. Most of the more detailed info you'll need to see instructions for mounting can be found on the Stan's website, they have some pretty detailed documents and a ton of experience to draw from!

Review of the Stans No Tubes Standard/UST Tubeless Kit:
I'm not a gear junkie or weight weenie, but the UST tires I recently bought for a small fortune felt like tank treads on my UST rims. They were way too heavy and slow!
So a friend suggested Stan's and viola - obviously easier pedaling, and I haven't had any flats. I have to add about 10 psi over the course of a week. My tires (Kenda Karma 2.0) sealed up great on UST rims. No more tubes on my mtb!

Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

Review of the Stans No Tubes Standard/UST Tubeless Kit:
Installed on front and rear, one new and one old tire, it was a lot easier to install with a new tire, Kenda Nevegal 2.5. The old tire was a little harder to sit the bead, because of the steel bead, Prowler mx 2.5. Just follow the directions and it is a pretty fast install. The only thing I did that works better than using a presta valve adapter was just using the air hose alone with no attachment. It forces air in much faster. Also make sure to tighten the valve down with pliers, not too tight, but enough.

Summed up: So far its held up, I haven't had a chance to do anything extreme yet though.

Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

Review of the Stans No Tubes Standard/UST Tubeless Kit:
A cinch to use on my Crossmax UST rims and Kenda Karma 2.0 tires (non-UST).
Makes for a lightweight combination that is good for all but snow and super-slick mud.
Set up was easy. I have to add about 10psi over the course of a week - not a big deal in my book.

Review of the Stans No Tubes Standard/UST Tubeless Kit:
I Recently moved to AZ and experienced pinch flats almost every ride and was forced to run pressure around 55-60psi; this for a guy who weighs 165 lbs. A rider on the trial recommended I give Stan's a try and I am ecstatic with the results. A smooth ride due to lower PSI and NO FLATS. I've found and removed all kinds of cactus spines in my tires and they have yet to lose pressure. I followed the directions very closely and had no problems. It was a little challenging to get the sealant to seal one of the tires, but once it was sealed, it was sealed. I used Mavic 717 rims and WTB Velociraptor tires and it's been a dream come true. This system works exactly as advertised and is worth every cent.

Summed up: Everything installed exactly as designed and works flawlessly. If you want to avoid flats, give this a shot. It worked for me.

Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

Review of the Stans No Tubes Standard/UST Tubeless Kit:
So far so good. Used Stans No Tubes kit for the first time two days before a scheduled race and had zero issues. You can do the change over yourself (you will need an air compressor). If you don't have one or can't borrow one, go to the gas station (will need an presta adapter) to start it off, once the bead takes, you can finish with a floor pump. I went a full year of racing on tubes without any flats (luck on my side), but wanted to go with lower psi....glad I made the change!

Summed up: Watch the video on the Stans web site to help you get started....make sure you install the rim strip correctly.

Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

Review of the Stans No Tubes Standard/UST Tubeless Kit:
Don't spend money on crap to make your bike lightweight until AFTER you've switched to tubeless.

Installation was much easier than I thought it would be: I used a compressor to seat the beads and it was a snap.

The biggest thing I noticed though was how much better the traction was climbing over off-camber rocks, slick roots and loose gravel.

Best $60 you can spend on your bike.

Summed up: Adds grip, reduces weight, no more flats - any questions?

Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

Review of the Stans No Tubes Standard/UST Tubeless Kit:
Lives up to it's claims, I first installed this on some older Kenda Slant Six tires with Mavic 719 rims, despite following the instructions to the letter, the tire didn't hold air the first night. But after some more shaking and reseating the bead, the tires sealed up perfectly, and even with lower air pressure, the tires did not feel slow and draggy, gave a much plusher ride, and confidence- inspiring cornering.

I did manage to get a flat a week after converting, with a large metal shard that cut through almost a quarter inch of tire casing. It was a matter of bad luck, as I have never gotten such a flat with tubes. Due to it being nearly impossible resetting the bead with a hand pump, I decided to throw a tube back in with a dollar bill over the gash to complete the ride, instead of attempting to patch the tire. The process was extremely easy, simply taking out the rim strip and putting a tube in as normal.

I ended up throwing away the tires after that ride, instead of patching it, as they were pretty worn already. I remounted the tubeless with Kenda's Small Block Eight, 2.35 regular front, and 2.1 UST rear. I did find the UST to be much easier in inflating and sealing with this system, but it comes at a cost in weight. Running a lower PSI also did not seem to affect the speed the Small Blocks were designed for.

If I had to find one flaw with this system, it would be that I wish they would have included the sealant injector with this kit, instead of selling it separately. It is not a major annoyance at all however, since the system works as advertised in every way, and pouring a scoop into the tire isn't any extra work.

Summed up: Light, fairly easy to install with a bit of patience, nearly puncture proof, and adds confidence with low PSI.

Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

Review of the Stans No Tubes Standard/UST Tubeless Kit:
Had to research on Stan's website, and still wasn't sure if it was going to work for 29'r wheels or just 26". I've had the setup for a few weeks now, and it is working perfectly on my 29'r wheels. For those that aren't sure, I promise it works. The only trouble was the rubber rim strip with the valve stem fits pretty tight right at the valve stem and I was afraid I wasn't going to seal the bead. Make sure you use an air compressor or CO2 cartridges to set the bead initially. After the bead is set, use your standard floor pump to adjust pressure.

Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.
