Thanks for all posts so far folks
Only reason I bought up tyre change , I've a friend who's bike fitter , his company charge a fee as these sort of puncture liquids make a massive mess of machines and work area
But as a product 10/10

I don't know if they're any good on the road as I only just saw them used on the Dakar, but what about mousses?

Picked up a puncture overnight in Norway but the Ultraseal allowed me to ride the 20 miles to a garage where the tyre was removed. I then used paper towels to remove most of the gel and then flushed the tyre clean with a hose. The garage was then able to fix it with a large mushroom patch. Very little mess and no complaints from the fitter
Kwik Fit back in UK have charged me £12 irc which they claimed was a charge for the disposal of a contaminated tyre
Ultraseal with Stop&Go would seem to be a marriage made in heaven imo
I could pop up to Protyre tomorrow I guess. But they're just gonna want to sell me a new tyre...I'd get it checked. It could be the valve or stem. The fact that you haven't managed to find it in the tyer would make me just a little cautious. Are you sure there is no leak at the rim?jjh

I did try the touch soap mix on the rim/Tyre junction as well. Nothing. But it is losing pressure, albeit very slowly. But with a load on and motorway speeds it'll want to lose a little more at a faster rate.
Because it's so slow, my thoughts lead to a solution to pour in. One of the 'preventative' puncture solutions. That would clearly fix it. Even if there's a mess inside the tyre when it comes to the next tyre-off occasion. ..
Ok. Good idea. Quick cheap and easy.Just assuming that you haven't missed anything just try the soapy mixture around the valve area where it meets the wheel. And try the old spit test on the valve. How much is it leaking in a week? JJH

I think it's losing about 0.2-0.3 bar every 48hrs. but I reckon that'll go up with load and speed...
Usually they lose nothing. I mean in a month, nothing. No change. Actually, I've always been very impressed with how well the pressure has always held.
But I hate the niggle...I'm sure you all know where I'm at. A PITA
I'm with your thinking exactly . Just booked it in for 4.30 today.I'd chuck a new tyre on and keep the old one in the garage for use when I got back. Is it worth all that worry and hassle for the sake of £80??.
You are also on the same page as me.Your first post on this was a puncture that was fixed properley. I'd be going somewhare else with it. There is only one thing that can make a proper repair leak and thats another puncture. That brings me to the story about lightning striling twice. JJH
Or run it with Puncturesafe tyre goo and stop worrying about the duff puncture patching job.
