    This one is only 4.5L and is quite neat. Is it enough to pump up tubeless mtb tyres?

    http://www.screwfix.com/p/stanley-dn-8-5-4-5ltr-portable-air-compressor-240v/22374

    Or how about this one?

    http://www.screwfix.com/p/impax-walkair12-12ltr-compressor-230v/15318

    Or this one might be better as it comes with fittings

    http://www.screwfix.com/p/stanley-8216035scr011-24ltr-compressor-with-5-piece-accessory-kit-240v/48089

    Cheers!

    The last one in your link has issues with fish, so I wouldn’t bother.

    ” Excellent value for money. Bought the compressor to do various DIY jobs around the house and its perfect. Despite its size it delivers a good punch. No need to buy any accessories as it comes fully equipped. Could do with a longer power cord but this is a minnow issue. “

    Get the big one. I’ve got a 24l one and it blows up any tyre, fat included.

    I’d go with the stanley- receiver size is probably the most useful thing for tubeless, and bigger is better.

    Tried ghetto instead ? Buying a compressor just for tubeless seems massive overkill.

    Once you have a compressor you’ll find other uses for it. You won’t regret buying one.

    If you can afford it get the big one. I use ghetto tubeless coke bottle but found a friends compressor much easier and works much better for all tyres. If £100 notes isnt a problem I’d get the last one

    My 5 year old daughter inflated my last tubeless tyre with a track pump… I don’t quite get why you need a compressor?

    There are… until you discover hammer guns. Onces you’ve had your hands on a gun that fires two hundred 16oz Ball Pein hammers a minute theres no looking back.

    If you had a hammer gun, you’d hammer gun in the morning, evening, danger, warning, brothers and sisters, justice, freedom, and all over that shizzle.

    For whatever it’s worth, I have a bottle inflator, I’ve found it really not worth the time it took to make- it’ll inflate an easy tyre, but it’s yet to inflate any tyre that’s defeated my pump. Always suspected that the people impressed by them, just have crap pumps…

    I’d not buy a compressor just for tubeless myself though

    I retract my previous statement….

    I got an airmaster tiger 100l for my xmas.

    Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth itll do what i need it to on my scale.

    How ever my old 70 quid 24 litre job is fine for tubelesS – just be sure to get a good inflator , some are crap for flow. My first one from aldi was a joke.

    Anyone tried using a petrol garage inflator – does it pack enough punch?

    If you get one with the “inflate from flat” option yes.

    Its that burst you need.

    Get a foot pump and use one of the tyres/spare from your car.

    Tbh I think you would find a better compressor on ebay for <£100. The little ones are quite neat though.
