Tubeless booster

Andreas_Weidner · October 2017

What solutions can you recommend to inflate tubeless tires? I already have a floor pump and don't want to buy a compressor, so something like AirShot or Specialized Air Tool Blast could make sense.

I also saw this and it looks quite interesting: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1611955820/milkit-tubeless-booster

Thanks for your inputs.

A cheaper alternative could be to pick up a Co2 inflator like the below with a few canisters, should work a treat.

That. Inflator at £3 or so from your LBS and cartridges at almost no cost from fleabay.

Just make a ghetto inflator: 2l plastic pop bottle, 2 valves and a length of tube.

what tyres are you using tubeless?

my maxxis tyres went on fine with a track pump, I just took out the valve core and pumped the tyre up quickly to seat on rim and then once valve was back in inflated tyre to pressure I wanted.

Tried using joeblow track pump doing road tubeless and failed, got Co2 & some spare cartridges and job sorted. Wish I'd read the bit about the tyre cracking like noise as it seats onto the rim, nearly underpants changing. I'm also playing about adapting an old fire extinguisher, will see how it goes.

new member comes on and first link is to a Kickstarter campaign?

I probably just have a nasty suspicious mind.

CD your possibly correct but I'm an optimist most of the time, I also never look at kickstarter links.

Posts with the exact same wording on pinkbike and others.

If it looks like pork, smells like pork and tastes like pork it probably is spam.
