Well...I can only hope the refund me. Since they only change the status of your order to request cancellation. One way or another American express will get their money. I called their number listed for transactions and it's disconnected. No surprise.

Thinking maybe a nothing phone. I cracked my screen a few months ago. Living with that isn't terrible. Not ideal.

 

I saw their website shop update today they are now shipping in September and no longer in August. Anyone actually had a fairphone 6 ship in the USA in August? I am skeptical now and wondering about abandoning plans to go e/os. Maybe both companies are just not ready to service customers.

I bought a fumpa and it had issues immediately. I could only inflate for a few psi before it would fail. Had to plug it back in to power to reset the pump. Told them the same information and they wanted to send me a new one. I have given up on the experiment. I rarely need them on the road. Carry emergency CO2 only. I fill before each ride to maintain accurate psi levels. Tubeless on all my bikes. They seemed perplexed (fumpa) that anything had every failed. I just wanted my money back and they were pretty pushy before they relented. I wouldn't buy another one of those and Amazon seems littered with trash versions. I went with fumpa as it was made in America. Oh well. Maybe in a few more years they'll be more reliable. Super loud too. I have a Ryobi battery pump with digital gauge that you set desired psi. It was quieter than the fumpa and use that before every ride.

Just like the device in the article it's fitted around the valve and the sealant goes everywhere. At least the stans syringe was over valve.

Yes. Subscribed. I want to hear more. I work in transit signaling. Lightning and transit voltage protection. So many variables with traction power but also lightning. Sounds interesting.

Just buy a stans no tubes refill bottle. 2 oz. Then keep refilling the sucker. Remove the valve core. If you're doing it the old school way it's way messier. The stans no tubes syringe was even messier.

I always seat tires before putting sealant in and this almost guarantees no splash back. https://sprocketkings.com/products/stans-no-tubes-regular-tire-sealant-2oz-bottles

I think there have been great advances in comfort and convenience factors. The toilet itself and the valve system, hasn't changed in 80 years. It feels like a technology that should have been eclipsed to something more efficient and easier for the sanitary sewer system to handle.
