I just break the bead, pour it in, and reseat/reinflate. Not prehistoric, no big deal really.
Reseating has always been the issue for me. I can never get the full bead seated without an air compressor, and even then it can be hard to get that final pop
Yup, it depends extremely on the tire/rim combination. Some are extremely easy, some are almost impossible to get seated.
I have a compressor bottle. You pump it up with your foot pump to about 10 bar and then use that to fill the tire. Works pretty much every time.
I just unsrew the inner part of the valve (Schrader), use a bottle with a thin tip I've prefilled and squirt the goop it in via the valve stem, rotaring occasionally. Screw the stem insert back in, tighten and reinflate the tyre, I thought i was easy. How is it complicated?.
Don't they just have syringes you can use instead? That seems easier-er...
They claim in the article that syringe tubes get clogged. I have no experience with this.
If the syringe tube is wider than the valve stem inner diameter, you can't insert the tube all the way thru the stem and it's a pain in the ass to slowly fill without spilling
Or something like a grease gun that screws or clamps onto the valve and then forces the goop in.
Just buy a stans no tubes refill bottle. 2 oz. Then keep refilling the sucker. Remove the valve core. If you're doing it the old school way it's way messier. The stans no tubes syringe was even messier.
I always seat tires before putting sealant in and this almost guarantees no splash back. https://sprocketkings.com/products/stans-no-tubes-regular-tire-sealant-2oz-bottles
What made the syringe messier?
Just like the device in the article it's fitted around the valve and the sealant goes everywhere. At least the stans syringe was over valve.
