One name says it all "STAN'S"
1. Remove valve core. if this is not possible on your tubular tire, stop reading and wait until you get a flat, then purchase a tubular tire with a removeable valve core.
2. Insert plastic surringe into Stans bottle. The trick is to cut the bottle so the surringe fits snuggly.
3. The directions state to shake and pour the bottle inverted for maximum sealing performance. I also draw the sealant into the surringe inverted to capture the micro sealing particles.
4.Stick the surringe in the valve core and release.
The question ensues "will my perfectly balanced wheel become unbalanced" The answer is.. undoubtedley YES. just a skoge though. when I balance the saddle from a hanging rope, the bike does hobble wobble a little I never could notice this when riding. Willl you run over glass and continue riding.. undoubtedly (I dont spell check, sorry, you get it so why should I)
SO, I have been known to only put a teaspoon in the rear and zero in the front on UBER light wheels because in reality I havent had a front tire puncture in quite a while (knock-knock) but on the training tires (i know "you train on tubulars") 1-2 tbsp and forget the spare tub at home. bring the celly JIK though
