Mine did with a tube in it.
Has anyone managed to get a tubeless bead to reseat with a lecky pumper whilst out and about?
I reckon you're less likely to be able to get it to seat with a mini electric pump than you are with a mini-pump. I've never managed to seat a tubeless tyre with anything less than a track pump.
I usually use a compressor but obviously not at the side of the road 🙃 That usually requires a tube.

I've seated two sets of Hutchinson Griffus and a set of Conti Kryptotal DH tyres recently with my Cycplus.
Not a re-seat trailside, but first fitting
Interesting. I'll give it a test next change. Sans jizz obv 🙃
First go with an AS2 Pro today. Does a good job of getting the air in but the gauge is disappointingly inaccurate.
Interesting, the reviews seem to suggest it is fairly accurate
Yeah, one of the reasons I went with that one. Hopefully they'll sort it out.
Mine arrived the other day and have had a play with it on gravel tyres, hadn’t thought to check accuracy, though I guess it’s all relative to the checking device accuracy
I'm testing against the cars toms, a digital shock pump and a Topeka D2 all of which are a good bit closer to each other. The Cycplus is the clear outlier

I disagree, most manual mini pumps you need to use 2 handed but for me the key to seating a tubeless tyre (without having a massive volume of air) is pressing down on it around the valve area (I guess it helps the pressure build up a bit by part sealing that area?). I haven't done it trailside but have done MTB, road and gravel tyres in my garage with the Fumpa pump (it's the bigger version though but not sure if it's more air flow or just a bigger battery)
I'll give it a try but will be surprised if it manages it. I had a 'p' while out yesterday and the little lecky device took ages to pump up a 25c inner tube (GASP! tubes and narrow...) so it's not delivering much volume at all. Not really a surprise as its cylinder and piston are tiny.
Maybe my slightly chunky Pro Max has a bit more oomph about it for seating tyres.
It's definitely (unsurprisingly, as it's bigger) got a much better battery than some of the reports on here.
It'll do a couple of big MTB tyres to 50psi if I'm trying to seat them, without going flat.
Blew up two tubes in 26 x 2.1 Billy Bonkers to 35psi yesterday without dropping a bar (of it's three).
Been on a big puncture ride with mates and done at least 4 MTB inflations with some left in the tank
I just picked up a rock bros gauge as it was heavily discounted, it has a little digital guage. Issue is it reads so far off what my knackered pump and a digital pressure gauge read. Anyone else had similar?
Used the AS2 in earnest today for first time. Out on gravel bike and heard the hiss and saw the spray of sealant everywhere.
Thought it had sealed but no, it’s about a 3-4mm slice in middle of tread. Used the pump to blow it from low teens up to 35psi twice, then decided to cut my losses as it was soft again and put tube in.
much faffage and mess, but the wee pump took the tubed tyre up to 35psi and still had 2 bars left. Air temperature was minus 3.
Thankfully the mudguard kept the sealant away from me 🤪

updating on this, I have a couple of accurate gauges, proper accu-gage ones, a high and a low pressure one.
I used them both this morning, pumped 2 gravel tyres to a displayed on AS2 Pro screen pressure of 35psi. Both gauges recorded 34 psi. Happy with that, @Onzadog, perhaps you have a duff one ?
- Thanks for the update, much appreciated. In the quest for accuracy, I bought a Jaco digital for the car and an SKS airchecker for the bike. Those two read with 0.1 PSI of each other. The AS2 Pro is 1 psi more. Seems it was my old To peak D2 that was under reading, that's now in the bin. I'm happy enough with the AS2 Oro
Good result 👍
Has the Truflo had a mention anywhere? I haven't seen and it looks a really good price in relation to their claims. Nearly half the price of the Cycplus AS2 Pro
Recently bought the Muc Off electric pump and it's brilliant.
I'll often do a fair bit of road to get to a forest so i can ride out with high pressure for the road, then let some air out for the forest where ill usually spend a couple of hours. Then pump back up for the ride home.

I'm wary of Muc-Off kit, their chain lube is dreadful and stuff like the pressure washer is rebadged and over priced.
However, Adam at zero friction cycling had one that did really well on his test.
Pic wouldn't attach. AAARGH.
I tried one last week from Aliexpress for £22 after reading about them on here. I'm quite impressed.
I fancied being able to ride to a route, change my pressures, ride and then pump back up for the road home.

Thats interesting I find mine to be accurate and the Topeak pressure gauge I have is out 3 or so psi and not consistent
All you need is consistency with your pump anyhow. Mines always consistent with the pressure it sets
