[#6189880]

can anyone recommend one for use for tubeless please?

my new rims (sram rail 50) will not seat tyres not matter what brand etc with a track pump

yet go up easily with the air compressor and stay up....

so firstly as never had the need for co2, do they really give the amount of pressure of that of a air compressor line? and secondly can you recommend a pump with the cartridges please?

In my experience, c02 doesn't deliver pressure over a long enough time span to seat tyres. I have tried a few times and it just hasn't worked.

Can anybody recommend a cheap compressor to seat tubeless? I am having the same problem as OW and have temporarily given up with tubeless, having to find somebody to blow 'em up every time I change a tyre.
Oh and I could never get those ghetto setups to work either.

hmmm msp - thats not good then ๐Ÿ™ thought it would be a long shot, probably work fine on my other rims (that went up easily with a track pump!)

so yeah any relatively small cheap compressors?

work 100% for me with valve core removed, dont work with it in.

also, inflating with core removed means all the co2 comes out when the inflator is removed so no probs with it making stans fluid go off.
