I thought it wasn't a good idea to use CO2 cartridges with Stan's. Don't remember why, but I'm pretty sure I've heard it somewhere.

Wrong. Always.

Pretty sure it's because the cold can theoretically affect the sealant.

What size is that frame?

Just give up and take up badminton or maybe table tennis. I'll take all your bike and give them a good home.

I have first hand experience with this. Had some stubborn Maxxis Non-UST tires that wouldn't seal with my home compressor on my Havoc UST wheels. Decided to use CO2, the beads pops right on and the tire/rim gets really cold. Kinda figure no biggie and go out for ride that afternoon. Luck would have it that I ripped the sidewall of the rear tire and no Stan's come spewing out at all, which I thought was odd. Take the tire off the rear wheel to put a tube and the Stan's was in an amalgamated ball the size of baseball. Looking back I should have kept it as a souvenir instead of throwing it the bushes.

Moral the story stick to a compressor. I'd sure it didn't help that I held the CO2 cartridge upside down.

Ian quoted half way through tonight's tight and twisty toonie in lost lake on his first ride on it "it's really comfortable"

Found this in my tire tonight.

This tire has been on my DH bike for 8 months or so. Used CO2 once on it about 6 months ago. Not sure how long the ball has been in there. Tire was completely dry on the inside. Rear tire was also dry but with no ball of Stan's/Caffelatex.

First I've ever heard hitting Stan's with CO2.

Anyway I'll throw my name on the 65 wait list just to piss some of you off!
