Sick of huffing and puffing while your tubeless tyre sits on your rim and refuses to bead up? Perhaps you’ve sworn enough that you’ve traumatised your neighbour's children and their parents are less than impressed. Either way, this handy device will sort you out by getting that pesky bead to seat properly.

Simply inflate this high pressure air tank, flick the switch to send a jet of air into the tyre and sit back (🍹🌴) while your tyre bead seats casually. This tool is the perfect at-home replacement for an air compressor, infact it’s even easier to use. 

From our testing of the competition, we found this device to be the best. It’s got a large air chamber volume, which will seat even large volume tyres, and its got quite the stout steel build.

How to use

1. Remove your tubeless valve core
2. Install sealant and rotate it through the tyre. Our 250mL sealant bottles can inject it directly through the valve
   
3. Inflate the tubeless inflator to 200 psi with your floor pump *
4. Connect the inflator to the wheel valve
5. Flip the lever and Hey Presto! - your tyre will inflate and stay inflated
   

* You will hear the inflator losing a little pressure at 200psi. This is by design, it has a blow-off valve calibrated to take no more than 200psi pressure. This is expected and safe. 

If 200psi doesn't do the trick, try vigorously pumping when the tank is releasing to increase the flow rate a bit. 

Key things to note:

• The device is 'inflated' using a Schrader valve. Make sure your floor pump has one!
  
• The device is tested to be safe to, and likely above, 700psi. We know that pressure vessels can be scary, so please take comfort in knowing that this one has been tested properly by the manufacturer. 
• When the tank pressure is over 200psi a safety valve will activate to release excess pressure

Our experience:

We’ve used a inflator device for years and had forgotten how much of a pain inflating tubeless is without one. Its only when we forgot to bring it to help a mate inflate some tyres that we re-experienced that trauma and resolved to source a good tubeless inflator for our store.

Simply put, this inflator is mint. We think it’s better than all of the alternatives, branded and unbranded, that we tested.

Just make sure that your pump can connect to the schrader valve for inflation. Also note that pumps with huge heads might have challenges connecting to the pump - though none of the pumps we had handy had any issues.
