    I just break the bead, pour it in, and reseat/reinflate. Not prehistoric, no big deal really.

      Reseating has always been the issue for me. I can never get the full bead seated without an air compressor, and even then it can be hard to get that final pop

    I just unsrew the inner part of the valve (Schrader), use a bottle with a thin tip I’ve prefilled and squirt the goop it in via the valve stem, rotaring occasionally. Screw the stem insert back in, tighten and reinflate the tyre, I thought i was easy. How is it complicated?.

      If the syringe tube is wider than the valve stem inner diameter, you can’t insert the tube all the way thru the stem and it’s a pain in the ass to slowly fill without spilling

      Or something like a grease gun that screws or clamps onto the valve and then forces the goop in.
