I have not tried this in a tubed tire. I did not have any luck with a sealant over 50psi. but when I went tubeless on our tandem (dropped the marathons because of the harsh ride) I used this sealant and it works well at 70 psi.

I'm reading that with something like the Bafang BBSxx I can set 9 levels of PAS (cadence) and input the exact amount of assist for each level with their programming cable. I'm beginning to think this might be the better choice for me. I don't spin fast. I also use the throttle
for a quick blip to start off from stops (bad knee - i am old) and don't really want to have to down shift and upshift riding on city streets. 90% of my riding is on flats, city streets and the occasional pathway, and i used to ride a single speed just fine when I could ride 2 wheelers
and loved the simplicity. i do very little shifting with my hub motor, just one cog up or down, period. With a torque system it sounds like i would need to shift a lot? I think the torque systems sound great for folks who ride varying terrain.
