Anyone had any experience of either, or both. What do you think of them?

I want something for doing tubeless, apart from a compressor as I want a portable version too, or a home made bodge are there any others available, or about to be?

Thanks.

The flash charger has been excellent for me, no complaints whatsoever. Pricier than the airshot but upside is it's an all in one solution whereas the airshot means you still need a track pump. I managed to sell my old track pump for £30 so that offset most of the extra cost of the Bonty

What Doug says basically, I've not tried an airshot but my Joe blow was on the way out so new pump required anyway.

Converted fire extinguisher. Much more robust and making something yourself is always satisfying.

Thanks, yeah I thought if the Flash worked well, it'd work out best. Cheers.

fire extinguisher looked a great bodge I must admit.

Flash charger for me too., replaces the ghetto pop bottle, which worked and a track pump which wasn't very good any way. As said neat single portable solution, airs hot feels like buying productised ghetto.
You can get them for 85 now which makes it a bit more palatable too.

I already had a track pump so went for the Airshot product.

Airshot works well, good idea if you already have a good track pump.

Only improvement I would make is to have a small stand for the Airshot canister to fit into.

It tends to fall over as it has a small diameter and is tallish).

Otherwise great product.

You can buy a compressor for that much! I do understand the portability advantage, but for those rare occasions I can live with the 9p ghetto bottle mod. The rest of the time I'll use a compressor which is much easier.
