Who or what is Stan's NoTubes?

Stan's NoTubes is an American brand based in Big Flats, New York, founded in 2000. Its founder Stan Koziatek developed a way to replace the inner tube with a liquid sealant that seals punctures instantly. The brand is widely regarded as the originator of tubeless for bicycles.

What does the Stan's NoTubes brand stand for?

The brand's line is "The First Name in Tubeless". Stan's NoTubes stands for puncture protection, traction and comfort through the lower tyre pressures that only a tubeless setup allows. Its patented BST rim technology redefined how rim bed and tyre bead work together.

What makes Stan's NoTubes products special?

Stan's develops its products out of its own riding practice and matches sealant, rim, valve and rim tape as one system. An early BST prototype wheel was already raced at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens by German mountain biker Sabine Spitz.

• Sealant: tyre sealant for MTB, gravel, road and everyday riding.
• Wheels and rims: built around the patented BST technology.
• Tubeless accessories: valves, rim tape, injectors, repair kits.
• Bike care: biobased chain wax, cleaners and degreasers.

What is Whistler Performance Labs to Stan's?

What is Polar Drip Wax?

Polar Drip Wax is a plant-based chain wax that delivers the benefits of a waxed chain without a hot wax bath. Its wax molecules are polar and are drawn electrostatically to the steel of the chain, so they penetrate deep into rollers and pins. The formula is water-based and free of PTFE and PFAS. Combined with the Biobased Drivetrain Cleaner it creates a primer effect that further improves adhesion.

Who are Stan's NoTubes products for?

The sealant and tubeless accessories are aimed at mountain bikers, gravel and road riders as well as BMX racers looking for grip at low pressure. The care products suit any drivetrain – from BMX to e-bike.
