What an innovator.

That thing only holds 30ml? What a joke, you’re filling it up 3-6x per tire.

It couldn’t have cost anything to triple the capacity.

Lol I wonder if I can send him a USPS money order.

And here’s a tip from Tim Straz, who manufactures the funnels in New Hampshire: If the sealant takes too much time to go in, pinch and release the tire to create a vacuum that sucks in the sealant.

are you fuckin kidding me? there’s a reason everyone uses a syringe. this thing will clog the first time you use it. either with sealant, or just because the sealant will bubble and the surface tension won’t let more in.

but it also fills really slowly! and “the funnel’s 30 ml capacity makes it easy to gauge how much sealant you’re putting into the tire.”

What’s next? “Because our sealant is allergen-free, you can just pour it into your mouth, hold the valve between your lips, and spit the sealant into your tire. No need to carry additional messy tools on tour just in case you need to add sealant to our tires that leak almost as well as our $20 3DP funnel.”
