Show --111 IIIIMjjM MliM A new product will help reduce flat tires and improve tire safety. True Goo Sealant keeps Riders on the Trail Mountain bikers and off highway vehicle riders now have access to a new product which reduces flat tires that need to be changed in the field and improves overall tire safety. True Goo Tire Sealant has been tested to seal tires faster without the long term damage that competing products currently cur-rently struggle with. Dave Clark, of Rocky Mountain Outdoor Products, reports that True Goo Tire Sealant is an environmentally environmental-ly safe product that stays fluid from 30 degrees below zero to 200 degrees Faranheit and is guaranteed for the life of the tire. To use it, pump the liquid liq-uid into the tire before leaving home and the product swishes around inside the tire seeking punctures to repair. This fluid contains flat sealing particles par-ticles that you can see and microscopic microscop-ic particles you can't see. Each of these particles is polarized so that they are forced, by strong electrical forces, to lay flat and instantly seal the hole. Under high pressure the extremely hard (harder than steel) particles in True Goo will dig in and grip the rub ber in and around the leak to form a stable platform for a permanent seal. True Goo is engineered to be a very thin fluid, which allows the product to be very mobile in the tire and provide an instant seal. The thinness of True Goo even allows the sealant to work on sidewall punctures by coating the side-walls side-walls during tire rotation. This product is so effective that Clark demonstrates the tire sealant by pounding nails into a wheelbarrow tire and spinning it after removing the nails. Before the tire turns three times, the tire seals itself, capturing most of the remaining air inside. Clark notes that this product sells extremely well after users see it in action. True Goo Tire Sealant is becoming extremely popular for mountain bikers and off highway vehicle riders, because they spend less time fixing flats and more time riding the trails. Several local retailers are available including Mountain Extreme Powersports, located at 810 N. 2600 West in Lindon.
