When I get a gatorade at the store I just pour it into my water bottle that fits in the cage. Little easier to drink out of while you're moving too.
24oz beer cans fit pretty good in bottle cages though.

I only bring this up because I am on a road trip, and forgot to bring one of my 20 bottles. Really didn’t want to buy one at a bike shop for $12.00…But I got it sorted out.

Oh for fucks sake, buy a bottle from a shop.
It’ll remind you of this awesome road trip when you absolutely shredded the Shoreline Trail.

Anyone else done with Stan's? A while ago I was a sponsored rider so I had all sorts of Stan's stuff for stupid cheap. Now their prices are so high I can't support buying their stuff anymore. Plus they have legit competition in sealant, valves, and tape so I'm finding I'm buying from their competition instead. I still have bikes with their rims and they are really great but even their wheels are crazy overpriced now.
It was a long run but I think I'm done.

I haven't bought Stan's sealant or tape in years, but that was because I hate the giant Stanimals that form. I've been using Orange Seal Endurance. I change what kind of tape I get frequently but currently I've kind of settled on DT Swiss, which is expensive, but has a good combination of grip and stretch, plus is offered in the width I need (32mm).

Just make your own sealant for a fraction of the price. I've been running homebrew for 4-5 years now, works just as well as stans in my experience. 1 part latex mold builder, 3 parts water.

I thought we were putting queso in our tires to seal them?

Yeah DIY could turn into a rabbit hole if you let it. I just went with recipes that were tried and tested. The first I used was from Schillingsworth - Slime, antifreeze, and mold builder. Worked well but seemed to weep through sidewalls a lot. Someone (apparently) smarter than us tried it with just the mold builder and water and found it worked just as well. So possibly no need to overthink it. You just want something that will plug holes. I add glitter for good luck and to help plug any larger punctures. One batch lasts me about a year. Sidewall weepage has been much less.
This is the mold builder I use. If you have a Michaels store nearby you can get a 20% off coupon.

At $18 for the mold builder you get 64oz of sealant or $.28/oz. Compare to $34 for 32oz of Stans or $1.06. Looks like you can buy Slime by the gallon for $26-31 which is even cheaper than DIY, though I never liked Slime that much. And I wouldn't want a gallon of it sitting around forever.

I have Stans race sealant right now, only because I work in a bike shop and got it cheap.

Still using Stan's tape and sealant. Used to get a hookup and just continued using now that I don't, I do think that their rims seat up easiest tubeless, but everyone else has rapidly closed that gap. Few years back it was a much bigger gap.
