Trek6700 Posted February 9, 2010 Share So i did the conversion last night using the Stan's kit. I have Bontrager Select wheels and used a Larsen T USt and Monorail UST tyre. It went pretty well except for putting the sealant into the tyres. any advice for a "cleaner" or easier way to add the sealant? The tyres seemed to seal immediately except for a small hole on the sidewall that i noticed on a new tyre but i guess that will seal as well. Any advice??? I used a syringe but the sand like particles kept blocking the exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eedubz Posted February 9, 2010 Share Did you add sealant through the valve or did you unmount the tyre? I add mine by unmounting the tyre a little, across 3 spokes. Then insert a funnel and pour 2 scoops of Stan's in.Eedubz2010-02-09 04:33:24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted February 9, 2010 Share There is a special BEEG syringe for jobs like that . Failing that unmounting the tyre also works . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trek6700 Posted February 9, 2010 Share you guys speak of unmounting a tyre as if its easy to get it off and back on.... Maybe i just need a bit more practise. But thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eedubz Posted February 9, 2010 Share you guys speak of unmounting a tyre as if its easy to get it off and back on.... Maybe i just need a bit more practise. But thanks for the heads up. Dont unmount it fully, get 2 tyre levers under the bead, 1 open spoke between them, and clip the levers to the spokes on either side of that open spoke in the middle. Jam a thin funnel into the gap you just created, and pour your juice in ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted February 9, 2010 Share What about those huge "lamb on a spit" basting syringes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weight Weenie Posted February 9, 2010 Share well the ust tyres sit tighter with a bead like they have, if you have the removeable valve cores you can buy snmall 60mm stans bottles that will for the hole and are enought to fill a tyre, just shake enough ! The buy a big bottle and pore that into the small dispenser, much quicker and easier and no mess ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
