Ever since starting to run tyres on my bikes tubeless I have always used my original Stan's No Tubes sealant injector or if fitting new tyres sometimes just pour the sealant straight into the tyre.
The original injector did not hold enough sealant for mtb tyres so had to inject them twice which was a faff on. The other downside which was a real messy one was screwing the end onto the valve.
The newer mark two model is a lot larger and hold way more volume so can inject mtb tyres in one go. The other change is the push on end, no need for screwing on now, way way easier and a lot less messier. The angled end it also a good change as well. You pout the sealant in the tube now, I used to suck it in before. Today is the first time I have used the this updated version and made one error by pushing the plunger into the tube before pushing the end onto the valve. The second tyre I pushed the end onto the valve, poured in the sealant then pushed the plunger into the tube. Still makes a little mess but a lot less than previously. I always was mine out with fresh cold water before storing back away into my tool cabinet. As ever shop around as there are some good deals out there. I would say it is defo worth the money at £12 and should last for years.
