OP I’m confused why you aren’t inflating with the Airshot with the valve core in there? Is there a particular reason that I’m missing?
Edit: there was something I was missing, you were saying it didn’t inflate – durr. Weird, mine will go up with the valve in no bother… I will generally inflate my Airshot to about 150psi (can’t remember if that’s over the recommended amount) release the air, then whip that off and get my track pump on sharpish and get them up to 100-110psi by which time they’ve popped onto the bead.
I think my tubeless (road) tyres would invariably unseat if I just let the air straight out again TBH. They only seem to stay seated with no air once a bit of gunked up sealant has persuaded them that the bead is where it’s at!
