I need to check, but the cores come out on one of mine....i thinks its a Vittoria.
Its a bloomin nuisance sometimes...i go to undo the valve to put some air in...and the whole core comes out

Does Stans work at 100+ psi in inner tubes?
It works a treat in my lower pressure (4#30/40psi) tubeless tyres.

I knew i'd pay a price for this 1legg
Put my tube back in, inflated...checked 5 mins later...flat
Bugger, musta pinched it. Tube back off and i found two holes. Repaired them, and as i was putting it back in...
a bloody great long thorn was in my tyre.
Now thats odd...cos my ride yesterday took me past a farmer cutting hawthorn hedges. I rode past gingerly, and made my way home (about another 10 miles)
Rode to work this morning, no problem. When took the tube out at dinner, there was no problem.
So that thorns been there since yesterday, striaght in the tube, but it hasnt gone down
Now i know its time for a new tube...there must be 6 or 8 patches on it
Wel...its all good practice

Great stuff thanks for that...will look round for a pair 
Red...well I'll let ya know although i have 35c marathon supremes on so only running at 75psi, it should seal up small holes thorns/pins/nails fine although anything bigger at that pressure would need something thicker like slime I'd think.

I picked up a litre bottle of green slime from countrywide for my motorbike a couple of years ago to mend a puncture from a nail in a virtually new tyre. It was much cheaper than the other stuff and I have tested it up to an indicated 150mph (on the track) without any problems with a tyre pressure of about 35psi, and was in the tyre for about 8 months. It is designated for tractors, 4x4, regular cars, cycles etc etc also which is probably why you get so much for so little (about £8 a litre IIRC).
