Has anyone had any issues adding the Race sealant through the Milkit valves? Apparently it clogs up if you add it direct to normal valves with an injector.

No problem adding it or checking levels etc with the provided kit.
But the valves do need a burst of air before checking the pressure.

The idea of Milkit valves is that you use their injector for the sealant and their injector has a relatively slim tube you push into the valve body and through the rubber seal on the end of the valve.  If Stans Race will go through the Milkit injector you will be fine but I suspect it will not.

FWIW I initially really liked the Milkit valves (I use regular Stans) but over time I've found they gum up and make adding or removing air a bit of a pain until given a tyre off clean.

I don’t care for them. It’s a right pain to check pressures. I know you only have to blast it with the pump but I still prefer normal valves. I tried putting stand in with silicone tube over the valve and it just kept popping off.

Right well I'm getting to the bottom of the Stans Race bottle and now see all the solid bits which haven't been sucked up by the Milkit syringe. So apologies for my answer above, turns out I've mainly been adding the liquid part.
