Just my experience: 3 Desser leakguards. Mains are great, add air maybe every 6 months. Nose tube...no such ruck. Leaks worse than the standard tube previously there..have to add air every month.

Now here is an off the wall thought, anyone give any consideration to using one of the leak sealant products in their tubes?  Maybe something like Slime? Pro’s/Con’s? Might be just the thing to reduce air loss and the difference between being stuck on a backwoods strip or making it home. Thoughts from the peanut gallery?  J

I would not use it unless I had an emergency and needed to fix a flat. I think, with no rational reason, is that the chance of it puddleing and causing a grossly out of balance tire is to high.
