[Closed] Thankyou to the ghetto tubeless compressor inventor.

Mugboo · 2012-08-13T21:02:19Z

I had a quick search for his thread but can't find it. Anyway thankyou. I built my own pop bottle compressor ages ago, but my last attempt with just a track pump had nearly killed my brand new Joe Blow and my will to live, or at least go tubeless. Well tonight I gave it a go. Followed the same simple steps as before but this time with 40psi in the 'compressor' it just popped onto the rim :) Painless!! Stans Flow with yellow tape and a Swampthing (perfect for a UK summer). Only difference from the inventors original idea was the use of the hose and valve adapter from an old track pump and grips to clamp the hose.

I cover mine in 2 heavy blankets. If it was going to fail it would be at the lid ,so that always points away.
Earlier someone mentioned tyre to tyre. Can you explain how this is done. To pump the tyre you need the valve in. To inflate the other tyre you will need the valve out.
Am I missing something?

I don't see the point though. More expensive, more difficult to make and not as versatile. 9p inflator FTW.
