    Yep. It helps to put the valve at about 8 or 4 o clock, rather than at the bottom of the wheel, to stop the slime clogging hte valve.

    In the past it's taken me around 10 minutes to get the air out of a tube. I've found that they start to seal up, even with the valve at 4 or 8 o'clock.

    Take the valve core out you will get some green jizz flying about but wont lose too much if your careful and have a rag handy.
