I'm making a right pig's ear of replacing No Tubes sealant. If I just want to top up sealant only, is an injector a bimbo-proof way of doing it?
Thank you so much!
Makes coffee and awaits pointing and laughing 😉
What's an injector?
Do you have presta valves with removable cores? Just unscrew the core and squirt some in.
I've got one & find it's easier just to leave the inner part of the syringe out & use it as a screw-on funnel
Thanks for replies.
An injector is mentioned on the No Tubes website and wondered if it would be easier to use than possibly spilling it on my feet. I have the large bottle but I may well have a small funnel in my kitchen. Thanks!
I've got the stans injector and find it makes life much easier. and less messy.
i keep meaning to buy a screw on injector at the min i use a baby medicine syringe but as i found the end was a bit too big i put one of the baby medicine bottle stopper things its to put in end of bottle to invert it and fill syringe without spilling.
i push it on the valve stem then inject into that . no mess that way
yes, the injectors make the whole process so much easier. Just remember to remove the valve core first! 😳
damn my computer. Another double tap
I made one, piece of cake. "Borrowed" a big glass syringe from work which had a fitting on the end normally designed shockingly enough for a needle, i then found some clear plastic tubing the correct diameter to go over the stans valve (core removed of course) and heated it up/semi melted it onto the syringe at t'other end.
Works great! No leaks and cost me all of 50p to do.
small plastic syringe 10cc from Boots (cheap) and cut bottom 2 inches off plastic empty water bottle. pure in and suck and squirt 2 or 3 lots in each tyre and can syringe up excess and squirt back in bottle
Ive got the injector, think it makes things much easier.
get a small bottle of wheel milk from JRA and use that? the bottle i mean, not the milk if that's not your sealant of choice!
works well for me.
I use a 50ml syringe off ebay. Slots straight in.
Don't you get a screw on "injector" with the bottle? I'm sure I did. Don't use it though, I use a 200ml Joes bottle to measure and squirt it in. Simple.
