Any amount of goo is not going to fix these...

Funny when ya see someone try to fix an impact split on the tube with tyre goo, makes for a good mess and a laugh at there expence when they end up having to replace the tube with the goo getting over everything.(lots of cussing)

goo wont fix everything, i cover my bases with levers patch kit and a spare tube, no goo in my tool kit.

Re Tru Blu Goop....I can only state what a couple of dozen adventure riders have told me of their personal experiences.
If I meet them again I'll point out just how wrong they are

I used True Blue for a while ('till the tube ran out). Was a bugger to get in the tube. If I was more prone to flats, or had tubeless, I might use it more.

Had a couple of nail in tyre incidents whilst using the goop and the first one held air nicely. The second didn't.

Pooey and I did the North Island Invasion of the South and none of the posse got flats.

Sounds like it's Oscar.

I've ridden with Pooey on another group ride and I think Andy Mac got a flat.

The last ride I did that Oscar was also on Pablo got a flat on his G650X.

Tied at one all I think.

seriously....youve spoken to 24 individual adv riders who all use and sang the praises of blue goop?
