Thanks

It's expensive and faffy to use the screw on chuck. I'd choose something cheaper that just works. Been happy with my Flash Charger but I'd consider others too

I also have the Bontrager Flash Charger, only had one non inflation event but the compressor also couldn't inflate it.
Very impressed so far.

The Flash Charger was my first track pump, I figured I might as well have the tubeless feature while I'm at it. It fails as a track pump because you cannot use it just to top up your tyres in a hurry, as the air wooshes into the reservoir first.
So I got a proper track pump, a Lezyne CNC Digital Drive; the chuck only takes a couple of turns to connect and one pull to disconnect on Presta valves.

As far as I know all of the tubeless inflator/track pumps do that including the Lezyne the op linked to.

The overdrive you link to doesn't have a threaded chuck. Its their ABS2 which is just a normal push/pull one.

I've got a slightly different model but its great.

Enduro magazine rated the digital overdrive best in test.

There is a "rotate" component in the Presta [url= http://www.lezyne.com/downloads/ABS2-Y9-V1-R0.pdf ]ABS2 instructions[/url], so not simply push/pull; for Schrader it is rotate-only.

£15 wiggle own brand track pump and a cheap double barrel footpump for mounting tubeless.
