FAQs
How long does the repair last?
The seal provided by the Vittoria Pit Stop Magnum is intended as an emergency or temporary repair to get you back riding. For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to have the tire professionally inspected and repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Can I use this on road bike tires?
The Pit Stop Magnum 100ml is specifically designed for MTB and larger volume tires. It is generally not recommended for narrow road bike tires due to the higher pressures and different puncture characteristics.
What is the shelf life of the product?
While specific shelf life can vary, it is best to use the product before its expiration date, typically indicated on the packaging. Store it in a cool, dry place to maintain its efficacy.
Can I use multiple cartridges if needed?
For very large punctures or tires, it might be possible to use a second cartridge. However, the product is optimized for a single application. If one application doesn't suffice, the puncture may be too large for this type of repair.
Is this product suitable for tubeless setups?
Yes, the Vittoria Pit Stop Magnum is formulated to work with tubeless tires, as well as butyl and latex inner tubes.
How much pressure does it add?
The amount of pressure added varies depending on the tire volume and any existing air within the tire. It aims to provide enough pressure to reinflate the tire sufficiently to continue riding.
Troubleshooting
Cartridge does not dispense sealant
Ensure the nozzle is securely attached to the valve. Check if the valve core is clogged or damaged. Try removing the valve core briefly to release any pressure before reattaching and attempting to dispense.
Puncture is not sealing
Verify the puncture is within the specified tire width and size limitations. Ensure the Pit Stop Magnum was injected while the tire had some residual air pressure. Rotate the wheel thoroughly to help the sealant reach the puncture. For larger holes, this product may not be sufficient.
Low tire pressure after use
The Pit Stop Magnum injects a fixed amount of air. If the tire is still low, you may need to add more air using a separate pump after the sealant has had time to work. Ensure there are no other leaks.
Sealant feels sticky or clumpy inside the tire
This can sometimes occur if the sealant is old or has been exposed to extreme temperatures. While it may still offer some sealing, its effectiveness could be reduced. Consider replacing the sealant.
