First Successful Stan's Refill

I topped off my road tires with Stan's last evening. Only took 20 minutes and I was able to do everything with the bike in the stand. I didn't have to use either a compressor or CO2 to re-seat the bead; my normal floor pump did the trick. My LBS has suggested adding 1 oz every month or so during warm weather, less when it gets colder. FWIW I don't have tubeless-specific rims; tires are Hutchinson Secteur.

Is Schwalbe doing a road tubeless tire called the Secteur? I'm familiar with Hutchinson's road tubeless Sector. Just curious. Could get confusing if so.

Cool. For the record, it's "Sector." At least that's what it says on the ones in our shop.

He's probably confusing the spelling with the Secteur bike: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/road/secteur

"Secteur" 28 so it says on both front and rear tires. This is the Amazon link.

Edit: Clearly the guys at Amazon are confused too about the name, but the picture tells the real story.

+1, label on tire says Sector. I've got them on one of my own bikes.

Maybe Hutchinson had a run of tires with the name spelled differently, I don't know.
