Tyre sealants
 
Can anyone recommend any tyre sealants for the XTZ.
I've just had my second puncture in 2 months, one from a thorn from Farmer Palmer butchering the hedgerows and today was a panel pin !
If I had a sealant in the tyres neither puncture would have been noticed / caused me a problem.
I've seen Slime and 'Ride On', and seen mixed reports for both.
Prices for both products seen to vary wildly as well.
Any advice appreciated.
