The tire's expansion creates suction that pulls the sealant through the valve. The threaded connection seals at the valve once fully seated, resulting in virtually no mess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Sealant Funnel Core+ compare to using a syringe-style tubeless sealant tool?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSyringe-style tools require you to push sealant through the valve under pressure using a plunger and often need hoses or adapters. The Sealant Funnel Core+ eliminates those components entirely, the tire's own compression and expansion draws the sealant in passively. It also doubles as a valve core remover, replacing a second separate tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich tubeless valve types and bike disciplines is the Sealant Funnel Core+ compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Sealant Funnel Core+ fits standard Presta valves and is compatible with road, gravel, XC, trail, enduro, and downhill tubeless systems. A Fillmore-compatible version is currently in development. It is not compatible with Fillmore valves yet, and is not recommended for yogurt-style or extremely chunky sealants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Shockwave Parts ship the Sealant Funnel Core+ to Canada, and what are the shipping costs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, Shockwave Parts ships from Canada. Tracked shipping within Canada starts at $8.49 CAD with a maximum of $14.99 CAD, and orders over $89 CAD qualify for free shipping.

XC bikes usually need around two fills. Trail, enduro, and downhill setups generally require two to three fills depending on tire size and sealant volume.
