The set the bead without the core inside of the stem. The air comes out
in a few seconds, they install the core then fill with nitro. I don't
see how this is difficult.


That's still atmospheric pressure of this nasty, wet air everybody's
so concerned about...



But the ratio is so low that it's kinda like the heat in your freezer
when you put a candle inside. I'm all but certain the candle makes heat,
but the ice cubes are not going to melt, so the freezer is still a freezer.


Are you certain...have you calculated the actual fill percentage and
compared that to the 95% claimed needed to be effective? I've not taken
(nor am I going to) the time but it's the underlying question.

I've seen reference to purge cycles; the question is is that a routine
needed when using N to make it effective to the extent it is, anyways,
(which really isn't much as shown in another subthread). Interestingly
enough, our Costco tout hasn't answered/responded to any of the more
factual aspects of the topic.
