Muc-Off Tubeless Essentials

For South African cyclists tackling everything from challenging MTB trails to rolling epic gravel rides, going tubeless is a no-brainer. It means fewer punctures, lower rolling resistance, and the ability to vary lower pressures for increased grip across our diverse terrain.

Muc-Off offers a comprehensive suite of tubeless essentials, specially developed to get you set up and keep you rolling with minimal fuss.

At the heart of it all is Muc-Off No Puncture Tubeless Sealant. This advanced formula is engineered to seal punctures up to 6mm, a common occurrence on our thorn-laden trails.

Packaged in a spill/leak proof bottle Its UV dye is a clever touch, helping you spot those hard-to-find leaks. For South African conditions, where sealant can dry out faster in the heat, its longevity (up to 6 months in temperate climates) is a welcome feature, and it’s easily topped up without needing a full tyre removal.

Maintaining sealant levels is made simple with the Hey! Dipstick. This ingenious tool slides into your valve stem, allowing you to check sealant volume and condition without unseating the tyre. Given our varied climate, where sealant can degrade, this is a game-changer for proactive maintenance, ensuring you always have enough liquid protection.

For those inevitable larger gashes that sealant alone can’t handle, the Stealth Tubeless Puncture Plug is a trailside saviour. With three different plug sizes and cleverly concealed within your handlebars, this discreet tool offers a quick and effective fix for bigger holes, getting you back on your bike rapidly rather than calling for a rescue.

No tubeless setup is complete without reliable Tubeless Valves. Muc-Off’s V2 valves are precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, offering superior strength and a unique air-flow system that works seamlessly with tyre inserts – a growing trend in SA to prevent pinch flats and rim damage. Available in various lengths and colours, they add a touch of personal flair to your rig.

To get your tyres seated and reinflated swiftly, the Muc-Off Inflator Kit (with CO2 cartridges) is essential. For South African riders, who often face sudden changes in terrain and temperature, the ability to quickly get back up to pressure after a trail side repair is invaluable.

Finally, the foundation of any tubeless system is good Rim Tape. Muc-Off’s tape provides a strong, airtight seal with just the right amount of stretch for various rim profiles. Its semi-transparent nature helps in precisely locating the valve hole, ensuring a clean and effective initial setup, a critical step for preventing frustrating leaks down the line on our rugged South African routes.
