I've got a pretty crap floor pump but was amazed when my UST Nobby Nic went straight up on a Flow rim. Maybe this was a fluke and I need to get a better floor pump anyway, so what's the best one out there? The one that will inflate the most amount of air quickest?

Not a fluke, just a sensible tyre choice!

Blackburn Air Tower is the most powerful track pump you can buy IMO, you'll get some big arms using it too!

Edit: they don't seem to do the really powerful one anymore, they did one that had a crazy barrel about 4" across.

I'd go for a Lezyne.

Seeing as I can pump my UST tyres up with their minipump, the track pump must be good!

Also, I can see myself getting anal about tyre pressures now I'm a UST convert. What do you use to test pressures? Is there a really good quality digital gauge out there?

Just get one of these – http://www.tyreinflators.co.uk/cls-tyre-inflators/mosa-co2-mini-inflator-inc-2-x-16gm-threaded/prod_269.html

Dunno, I just pump em up to about 38psi and leave em.

38 PSI tubeless? Crikey, think mine are around 25.

Disagree with doing it by CO2 all the time, it'll get expensive, even if you bulk buy a lot of cartridges, pointless. Keep the CO2 for punctures on the trail.

My front is about that, rear runs at about 40 and I still pinch flat it! (yes it is tubeless)

You need to learn how to choose lines then…

oxford do a little blue digitaly thingymabob for checking/adjusting tire pressures. About £12 and by far the most usefull tool in my shed, you can set the pressures to within 0.1psi, but realisticaly I'd say 1.5psi is about as sensitive as any rider needs.

maxxis HR 2.35 SPC's
25.5psi front
26.8psi rear

Only talking about using CO2 for the initial inflation if the track pump fails.

Er…. how do you pinch flat a tubeless wheel?

the beto one in the bike shed at work shifts a serious ammount of air (three strokes to get road tires upto 110psi!)

Aye, that's probably about right

Er…. how do you pinch flat a tubeless wheel?

Think I ride too heavily over the back end or something like that, don't really know

I'd suggest the gauge isn't working then!

You can either pinch the tyre between the rim and the ground and break the seal, or theoretically actually stab a hole in the tyre.

In relation to the OP i use a £5 aldi track pump for inflating my UST tyres. Works lovely.

theoretically actually stab a hole in the tyre.

That's the one I'm good at!

I have suspension.

Me too. I find grip much better at around 25-30 PSI though – it's big part of the point of going tubeless imo.

You are missing one of the main benefits of tubeless if you blow them up hard.
I'm heavy yet only use about 30 psi in the rear and 25 in the front without problems.
A decent UST has a sidewall designed for this, it won't get all wobbly like a underinflated tubed tyre and will still roll ok on the road.

I use an airline for the initial inflation.

Er…. how do you pinch flat a tubeless wheel?

Put on a Conti Vert UST and look at a pebble. That's how.

Been using UST for over 3 years and I like em just how they are thanks. No problems with grip, inflation, punctures, pinches or anything else thanks.

Airline? I use a minipump.

nope, not a broken guage, michelin 20mm tires, big bore pump, and a heavy rider doing the pumping.

It does shift a serious ammount of air though.
