Stan's Tubeless Seal Kit

Has anyone tried it? It seems too good to be true. Here's the link: http://www.notubes.com/pages/Notubeskit.htm Bicycling Magazine gave it 4 chainrings.

I have been running the Stans kit on my Bullit for a few months now and it's worked great. I converted my front tire first to give it a try and after that held up for a couple rides I did my rear wheel. I ditched my DH tubes and shaved over a pound off the bike, plus it really seems to roll faster now. I have the kit on my Atomic TrailPimp rims with Gazz Jr 26x2.6 tires and it took a good compressor (about 90psi) to seat the bead initially, but after that you can regulate the pressure with a regular pump. just last week I did manage to flat the front tire on my last day at Whistler. I came off a drop to tranny waaaay crooked and forced the tire bead off the rim enough to let all the air out. tried to reseat it with the shops compressor but it wasn't hooking up right away so I just tossed in a tube so I could finish out my last day there. I'm planning on reinstalling the Stans on the wheel this week though.

all in all it's a pretty cool setup....

I have no complaints. I've had only one flat with the Stan's, and that was on a drop I landed wrong that ripped the tire off the bead. It would definitely have flatted any tire. I haven't set up my Stinky with the system because I change the tires on the Stinky depending on the ride (sometimes a couple times a week) so Stan's isn't practical for that. But for XC, I use Stan's and love it.
