The bottle they come in has a cylindrical loader as a cap...
I'm going to try and load them through this bottle. If that doesnt work, I'll rig up some sort of proper diameter tube and a funnel.
Now I just have to find some way to measure and weigh out grams....dont have any scales.
I just hope this helps me. Not sure it will though. I have a pretty good shimmy as she gets up to speed. Comes and go at certain speeds, but above 40mph is pretty bad.
Anyone know where I could get the tires trued? You know, shaved to make them round again. |
well, i wouldnt fill with that bottle. you need to know how much youre putting in and try to keep it even or close to it at all 4 corners. its going to be slow going through the valve stem. only one bb at a time can pass through it. good luck,
let us know how it worked!
new valve stem install from the outside is a real PITA... but there are certainly things that are even worse. so in perspective. its really not that bad. but it is a PITA none the less.
