Anyone gone tubless?

For £40-50 I think I'd be spending a tiny bit extra and getting the Airshot myself which is made for the job and significantly less bulky to store but then I am biased... Equally I have zero requirement for a compressor other than for this job!

Something like this off screwfix but about £40-£50

The bigger the better, you need both pressure and volume. My compressor is at least twice the size of this one, and it still wasn't up to the job.

No its a full compressoor, just a small home version.

I'm trying to find one on Aldi's site but not having much luck.

I have the Screwfix type shown above, but the 12L version for which I paid C. £60. Plenty good enough to blow a car tyre up and easily blows up my tubeless tyres. As mentioned above bigger is better provided you have the space, and the Aldi compressors are 50l I think, and I've seen them on special offer for about £50.

If you maintain your own bikes compressed air is so useful for assembling/cleaning of components and many other jobs.

Thanks, seems to work well. Thinking of tubeless as Cambridge roads seem to be littered with glass lately. Was following a guy yesterday when psssst from his back wheel. A load of broken glass on the road. I managed to avoid it luckily

Well the other half has had two flint punctures on her bike in last three or four rides we've had together and not a knick on my Schwalbe Pro-Ones ;she does have the seemingly paper thin oem Giant tyres and tubes on her avail though :roll:
