Your sealant never dries out?
You never have to refill?
Impressive. Where do you live?

I'm confused... you pour from the big bottle into the little bottle. Sealant never dries out in the bottle from my experience.

Maybe I misunderstood. The post I quoted said to just use the squeeze bottles instead of an injector. I assumed that meant he was using squeeze bottles to refill his sealant.
IMO pouring sealant from a qt to the little 2oz bottles is a mess waiting to happen.
In the context of mountain biking, is $25 really that expensive?

I mean... perhaps if you're a ham-fisted troglodyte.

Just gotta buy one of those certified Park Tool mithril infused funnels for $25.

I find it fucking hilarious that someone over in the other thread found the same fucking syringe that Park sells for $25 at Kroger for $7. "BUT IT'S BLUE!!!!!!!11!!!"

[plugboots]

Cool. Buy a fancy syringe if you need to. I think my old 2oz squeeze bottle thing is at least 10 years old. I mighta bought a syringe 10 years ago if I was just starting out. And if I knew where a Kroger was.

If your squeeze bottle opening was 1-1/2" instead of 3/8"

Hey guys, knock yourselves out.
I live in New Mexico. I have to refill my sealant several times per season in each bike. $25 for a really well designed tool that makes that chore far easier is a bargain to me.

Pour from at bottle directly into tire. Re-inflate

Haven't we beaten this dead horse enough by now? It's putting sealant into a fucking tire. Pick your preferred way and let's move on...

[toast2266]

But think of how much sealant you could inject into the dead horse with the Park syringe. That horse would be air tight.

I can see that. It's typically so moist here I think I gain sealant by the end of the season...but not this year. Dry af which sucks for build season also.

I used to use syringes. Bought some 60ml plastic squeeze bottles from AliExpress last year and have used them ever since. Easier, faster, less mess while filling and injecting. Plus you can travel with them pre-filled or carry in your backpack if you're into that sort of thing. I marked one bottle with 40/50/60ml lines for quick measuring.

We’re arguing about whether it’s worth spending $25 for a better tubeless syringe. Meanwhile people are convinced that a $1000 titanium crankset is life changing.
This place is FKNA awesome.

What size tap do I want to remove pedal bushings? I measure my inboard bushings to be 10.25mm ID. I assume I want to size up slightly (11mm?), and can't decide if I want a short or long thread pitch. My guess is long to spread out the bite cuts into the soft material, like a wood screw. Plug style I figured out.

[Roxtar]

Pedal bushings?

[Andeh]

Pedal bushings?

The DU bushings on the pedal axle, inboard near the cranks. They wear out on me about once a year.

[Roxtar]

Ahhh, gotcha.

If you find yourself with a new fork but not a socket or wrench that fits its top caps, this guy on ebay has a few combo box end wrenches for less than the cost of many single sockets.

Am I ridiculous for coveting a set of Whia/Bondus colored hex wrenches for $35-40 bucks? There's a real devil/angel thing going on in my head on whether this is a worthy self reward for nothing in particular other than not killing anyone or otherwise destroying my fragile life.
