Best latex sealant so far
Pros: Great Value
"It looks like caffe latte with lots of milk and are easy to fill into the tire. A lot easier than Stan`s since Caffe latex does not contain small particles which can block the valve."

Sealed a tyre
Pros: works
Cons: messy
"I've been out on a 200km epic and had a tubeless tyre slice open on stones. The Caffe Latex boiled out for a few minutes and sealed the cut. Messy but it works."

Best sealant ever
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"Best sealant ever. It is so thin( not viscous ) that can even be used on tubes without removable valves as long as you act fast enouph. It adds less weight to your bike than other brands as you only need abut 80ml for 26x2.0 tyres."

Keeps the air in
"After the first 500 km, the tubeless Atom works just fine. I need to add air every four days, or after a long ride - same as with regular clinchers. As the Atoms have not yet punctured, i do not know how well the Caffelatex seals a hole."

Pros: Great Value, High Quality
"Seems to work well - no punctures in over 3 months.
I guess a 1000ml bottle was overkill when only using 50ml for each road tyre!
It will last me a long while...

Hang the cost just buy it!
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit, ease of use.
"Having tried most of the other name brands that claim to seal tubeless tyres, Caffe Latex can proudly claim to be the best. Due to it's foaming nature it seal all those leaks around the tyres bead. Simply put 80 - 100mls into the tyre and pump it up, then put it on your bike and spin the wheel for several minutes and the foam will seal all of the leaks around the bead. I find these are the hardest leaks to seal and no other product I have tried comes close to the ease of use and result that Caffe Latex provides. Buy it from Wiggle, or buy it elsewhere at twice the cost, this stuff is good."

latex to the rescue
Pros: Great Value, High Quality
Cons: little bit messy
"never used latex before, in fact never had tubeless before but this stuff worked a treat. I got a cut in the side wall of my tyre and the latex started oozing out. Within seconds it stopped tyre stayed inflated and I never had a problem. I rate it very highly, great product"

Versatile sealant
Pros: High Quality, Versatile
"Great sealant.
Seals faster in the set-up than NoTubes or Noflats
No amonia, so no worry about the rims and the tires
The foam effect is very effective sealing the sides of non tubeless tires
Highly recommended

doesn't work
Cons: Poor Quality, Expensive, Low Quality, doesn't work
"Stan's arch tubeless setup, worked well enough to seal the bead and a few micro leaks. when i got on the trail a modest size sidewall hole leaked and bubbled and dripped but refused to seal. I put the wheel on it's side so liquid would fill the hole-just dripped and even spayed. Stan's would have sealed that hole. get Stan's"

Very poor performance
Posted March 4, 2011
Didn't believe aaronutah. but he's right. Tried caffe latex for brand new tubeless ready Schwalbe on my new crank brother rims. didn't work, tried everything, tyre couldn't stick completely to the rims (no more than 10PSI). I tried caffe latex because they do not contain ammonia and I was concerned about my new expensive rims. i thought there was a problem with the tyres. I then tried an old batch of Stans: worked straight away like magic. I have a litre of caffe left: i wish I could do a cappuccino...
