Funny thing just happened but it wasn't funny at the moment. I mounted a new Scwhalbe One S tire on the front; wasn't terribly hard to get on. Used a Co2 cartridge to get the beads set. But, some air leakage out around the valve. I took the tire off, wrapped some screw thread tape around the base of the valve and remounted the tire. Still leaking...uggg. So, I go to put some sealant in. Load up the injector, connect to the valve and couldn't get the sealant to go in. I kept pushing and the damn connector popped off with sealant going all over creation. I think what happened was that the bottle of sealant had developed some clots and one blocked the sealant from going in. If I had a video of my reaction, it would go viral on the net I'm quite sure. I had an atomic melt down (anybody hear me cussing all the way over here in NC?). At any rate, it seems to be holding air....I'll check on it in the morning. Perhaps a small amount of sealant found it's way in but it isn't much I'm quite sure.
You need to clean the injector with running hot water after every use.
I only lose about 1-2psi overnight.
