• For the record, Stan’s tubeless removable valve cores are interchangeable with Conti ones.

    While i’m Here, what’s the secret to removing the hose from an airshot without losing virtually all the air you just put in?

  • Once the tyre is seated you then need to disconnect the hose. Hopefully the bead will remain in place. Now reinstall the valve core and pump up as normal.

  • My experience so far is that if all the air escapes, the tyre deforms under the loss of pressure and the seal fails. I usually end up pushing about 110 psi in, so that there's still a chance some air will still be present once I get the core back in. Just wondered if I was missing something, no biggie.

    Also, why do I always end up bending my Presta cores (the bit you undo to get air in)? Am I not supposed to fully undo them?
