Hey Mike, nice video, and I like the brake cleaner, sure beats dealing with 6 bolts. BUT, what about the fact that what you are using is not a UST tire or rim, and that the bead, side wall, and tire as a whole is not designed to be put under those stresses. Knowing of several situations where riders have unseeded tires and shot themselves with stans, one breaking his collar bone, another have a 3rd degree should separation(while riding on pavement with the tire pumped to 35psi). I personally have one of my bikes set up tubeless, but only on UST rims and with UST Tires, and even those burp when put under force, turning, land into a transition, ect..
So to anyone who cares, I would only recommend if one were to want to go that route (DO NOT do it for DH or FR) ONLY use UST rims and tires. The weight difference is marginal if any, after stans, but you will notice less rolling resistance and of course no pinch flats or thorns slowing you down.

its a sealant, something like this for example www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=18710
it is the the thing that is supposed to seal your puncture holes, whenever you get them.
