I have very little to add except to say; this is absurd!
I weighed it in at 100g.
A HUNDRED GRAMS!
Maybe a meteorite hit your tyre but the stans sealed it.
(to the tune of Def Leppard)
STAAANIMAAAL!
Taste it! You know you want to feel it on your teeth.
Reminds me of the episode of the Yorkshire Vet they showed on gogglebox.
Well, it was living until you mercilessly removed it from it's home.
Stanimals only survive and flourish in the rare microclimate of the inside of a bicycle tyre, once they're exposed to the outside environment they die immediately.
Chapeau! Show it to folk who don't replace sealant.....
Habitat details? Is that 41degs ?
Put it inside your rear shock as a volume spacer with elastomer properties, then report back with results
For those craving the key to developing your own stans armies: I went away with work for six months; bikes were stored vertically on their back wheel. This was found at the base of the back wheel. Call me Frankenstein, this baby is actually a mixture of three different kinds of sealants (don't judge me) - Bontrager TLR, Mavic and Caffelatex.
On the upside I have now discovered that white spirit on a rag pretty rapidly dissolves dried caffelatex.
On the downside, I have realised that my Minion SS was probably only airtight because of the 4lbs of sealant glued to the sidewalls and I will take a pump with me more often.
