Trying to pop up a non UST ardent tubeless on an DT5.1 rim (with rimstrip fitted). The bead one side of the tyre is fitted pretty good, just need a garage compressor to pop the other side on.

Anyone know of any garages, preferably SW Sheffield, that still have a normal compressor instead of those 'digital' style ones which just don't deliver enough air at once. There was much faffing at Tesco's Abbeydale road last night...

Thankfully not needed to do this for a while, but when I did I had better luck with the Sainsbury's on Archer Road: and easier to stay 'under the radar' round the corner out of sight! You are using the flat tyre button, right?

DeeW, I didn't find the flat tyre button at first, but when I did it made no difference. Think that Sainsburys garage has been flattened now.

Ewan - genius! I'll try that ta
