About this deal

It looks like this is a copy of the milKit tubeless valve system that has been on the market for several years. Sometimes, you won't even realise anything happened, you'll just keep on rolling while the sealant does its thing. So, we can't tell you that in every case it won't work, because there's no data and every brand recommends not mixing.

Tubeless Sealant Injector Quick Look: Park Tool TSI-1 Tubeless Sealant Injector

There have been times when we've gone an entire season without getting a single flat and there have been times when every ride has meant a new flat tyre. There is a retaining nut that's nicely angled on the top and, on the side closest to the rim, there's a bit of a ledge designed to fit inside the valve stem hole. Like Stan’s original sealant, it performs well with smaller holes, but doesn’t plug larger ones as well as top performers. You can pour sealant into the tyre before you finish putting the tyre on, but many people prefer to inject the sealant through the valve. Now that there are long lengths available though, I have found it to be an upgrade and I've been using them most of the time when testing new wheels.

The real reason though has a lot more to do with my understanding about how to set up tubeless tyres. Just wondering if this is the proper way-removing the old sealant first and replacing with new sealant. There are a couple of ways you can check your sealant situation: One option is to use an injector to suck out whatever's left in there to get a better idea, or just shake the tyre and listen to hear if there's any sloshing. Our simple to use tubeless sealant injector is meant for tubeless tire setups, but it can also supplement a clincher tire configuration if desired.

Tubeless wheels feature a rim shape that is optimized to work with tubeless tyres, but they will work fine with tubes too. These help to provide a surface for the latex to coagulate around (like how snowflakes form around a particle of dust), thereby helping it seal holes more quickly and effectively.Once I understood how to use them, Fillmore valves mostly work like other valves except they don't ever clog. The best part of using the KOM Cycling tubeless sealant injector is all the time and effort you save. To put the system to the test I fitted one of the valves to a Mavic rim and filled the tyre with 90ml of Stan’s NoTubes Race sealant. And since modern rims and tyres are usually ‘tubeless ready’, most new bikes already have all the pieces of the puzzle in the box. Sealants with particles added are better at sealing larger holes so are ideally suited to mountain bike tyres.

Made of a super heavy-duty clear plastic with easy to hold oversize handles, the TSI-1 has a gauge on the side showing the amount of sealant. There are a number of different options when it comes to which sealant to use in your tubeless road tyres or mountain bike tyres.

If you're after a one-size-fits-all rule, checking your sealant once a month is a wise move, but in our experience, it often lasts much longer. In the first test, we used two Michelin Wild Grip’R 2 tyres, and tested three sealants with each tyre.If your tubeless tyres go flat even if you have plenty of sealant in them there is probably a problem with the rim tape or valve sealing.

Although this guide is about tubeless sealant, if you’re having general niggling issues with your tubeless set-up then it is well worth investing in some new, modern-era tubeless valves. It looks a bit like a standard valve core without the locking mechanism but it’s connected all the way through. FINACNE TABLE START ------------>
