Yellow tape £3
29er rimstrips £11 each from JRA
Already had the Stan's LoveJuice £0
Tried high volume trackpump that does the job on UST stuff - NO WIN, ended up redder than Alex Ferguson with the effort
Tried airline at garages - £0.80 plus 15 miles diesel cos they all have "safe" air lines that only pump up when the tyre already has air in it already, or on "flat tyre" setting, knock out so little air an asthmatic vole would be embarrased at the peak flow reading.
Tried 3x CO2 cartridges £6 - managed freeze-burned finger and that was about it
So Compressor + attachment kit £134 from B&Q. Ka-pop off we go.
Not recreating the scene where Basil Fawlty beats his car up with a branch - Priceless
Anyone ever managed to get non-UST tyres seated on a Stan's kit without a compressor? I've used UST rims and tyres for years and only ever resorted to CO2 once, but Stan's "budget" solution was a pain in the c*nt. Ah well, at least I have a compressor now. And the garden doesn't look _much_ like an out-take from a cheap bukake film.
