I have used the bontragers juice for a couple of years(xc) and it works very
well. I does not plug as big of holes (nail size) and as I think the stans
does. But it does do a great job of the initial sealing and filling small
holes(thorns).
So I guess I am going to try stans but have got in the habit of using
bontragers, and once you get a system that works it is hard to change.
Bottom line they are both EXCELLENT.
I really feel there are performance advantages to tubeless other than the
ability to go low pressure.
I think the bike steers better and more smooth.
