Last weekend I tested two bike tire sealants side by side and the winner was clear
I ran an experiment in my garage in Portland on Saturday. Poured Stan's in one tire and Orange Seal in the other on the same bike. Rode gravel for 20 miles then checked them. The Orange Seal held pressure better by about 4 psi after day one. Anyone else tested sealants and got different results?

That thing about "the winner was clear" really got me. I've been in that same spot where you just want a straight answer from a test. Your gravel ride test is way more legit than what I usually do, which is just pump up and hope for the best. I actually had the opposite happen with Stans once on a mountain bike in wet conditions, held air like a champ for weeks. But that was on tubeless rims that were almost new, so maybe the setup just worked better for it. Sucks when there's no one-size-fits-all answer, right?
