This compressor...?

Just wondering if someone might have enough knowledge to say whether or not this compressor would have a decent enough airflow to blow up tubeless tires? It's not the only reason I'm after a compressor but would be nice to buy one that can achieve that.

Ive always used a high volume track pump, did some 2.4s tubeless very quickly and you can use it on all bikes

Nope, you need a compressor with a resevoir or tank. This one blows realy slow and won't work on tubeless set ups that need high volume of air and fast suply to blow up.

That looks good yeah, however I have no mains at garage so was hoping for a 12v solution which I suppose is nigh on impossible.

I may still go for that though cheers, just means lowering 50m extension out 1st floor window and across car park

Or take the wheels to the compressor??

Or fill the compressor then move it?

Well yes I can take the wheels to it, but I want it for other applications too, not just fitting tubeless tires!

Apologies, didn't read your original post properly. You might be a bit stuck then as I've not seen a 12v with a tank

Yeah I've had a look and no luck Back to lowering a 50m real down from first floor window and across grounds and car park then.

Buy a hand pump with a compressed air chamber?

Some of these look interesting though not cheap.

DIY tubeless compressor, cost - £5?? 2L fizzy bottle, 2x presta valves, one with core removed, length of flexi pipe to fit over valves,
fit both valves to the lid, its a tight fit but do able, ideal to use 2 old tube valves, or if you have them, old tubeless valves, tube on the core less one and ziptie it on tight, core out of the valve on the wheel, other end of tube on it, kink the pipe and grip with maul wrench, affix track pump to other valve on lid, pump up to 60-80 ish psi, or wrap the bottle in tape and crank it up to 100+psi, one hand on the wheel valve to hold the pipe on, un kink the pipe and Boof, seated tyre!
used this method for a few years now!

quick vid of one of the forum guys with his diy bottle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePbjM6wQ1I8
