stans fluid

yo, just a quick reminder on tire sealant for you tubeless folks....
1) use a compressor and over inflate slightly
2) use soapy water to help seat the bead, but not too much, just enough to help the tire slide into place
3) WEAR SAFETY GLASSES, or at least some cool sunglasses, because the shit will get into your eyes if it hops the bead, and it stings.
Also, more for shops than for home mechanics, wipe up the spillage if you are just too darn shaky to put it in correctly, nothing more lame than a nice wheel with what looks like dried barf on the rim..
yay.
