As others have mentioned, clogs my stems quickly, does not last very long. I've gone back to primarily using Orange Endurance sealant. I think this would be best used for a big event where you need good sealing for a short period of time. Big fan of other Silca products, think this is one I won't use anymore once I finish.
First ride of the season and I was washing my bike afterwards. Found a good sized wood splinter sticking out of my tire sidewall (not the usual pin prick like a thorn or something). Never even noticed it during the ride. I pulled it out and it sealed immediately. Amazing stuff.
I also change out my sealant every season so I can see that it's still in good shape from the prior season. Unlike the first gen Silca ultimate sealant which was completely dried out and useless within months.
This product is an excellent solution for chain waxing. I form factor is small, which is great because this is something that spends most of its time not in use. When in use, I don't need a large workspace, so the form factor is beneficial for my setup. Wax heating is quick due to the limited, small tank size, and it takes me no more than a little bit of jostling to sink my chains when waxing. Product is great. Personally, I've bought 4 chains, ride them ~2 weeks a piece unless getting some big miles in, and wax all at once. This means I'm waxing one time every 6-8 weeks, which is not a massive time commitment and the drive train operates better than I can remember in my 30+ years of riding and racing. I recommend this product if you wax chains.
I had a good quality battery pump, but its performance and noise were less than satisfactory, so I went for the Silca because I know how exacting they are at doing things right. It has proven to be just as hoped, reliable, not too loud and convenient. Yes the case is larger that others but the battery life is excellent. I purchased a Silca presta chuck which I threaded into the extension hose and now have a favorite way to quickly top of tires before every ride and a reliable pump for multi day rides away from civilization.
