I seem to be on a roll at the moment but today takes the cake with a complete brain fade.
Needed to top up my sealant couldn’t find the tube for my syringe to squirt some Stans in, I had this other sealant hose but I knew it was shit as it doesn’t have thread on the end but I threaded on the presta adaptor, so ready to go.
First mistake, it’s hot here in Victoria ATM so let’s do it family room in air conditioned comfort. In my rush I get out the syringe fill it up and screw it on and depress the syringe, mmm…. resistance what is going on, I’ll push harder. Oh shit I didn’t let the air out this is not good, the syringe is starting to bubble! Now to get it off without sealant spraying everywhere, there was zero chance soon I relaxed on the syringe POP sealant sprayed everywhere, luckily the hose wasn’t tight on the syringe so it relieved some of the pressure but still not enough. Ok well that was a fail.
Second mistake, okay after realising the error of my ways I let out all the air and hook the syringe back to start again, still a little resistance this time I forgot to remove the core. So guess what, sealant leaked out and down the sidewalls, now if you remember I did this inside our family room, luckily Mrs Cammas was down the street which gave me time to clean it up.
Eventually I got sealant into the back tyre, luckily the front tyre had no such issues and took lees than 5 minutes to do, which is what the rear should have taken me.
