Just spent a while on google trying to find a “small” compressor for tubeless duites.

I’m sure it’s prefectly possible to inflate all rims /tyre combos with a variety of tricks but in the interests of time and ease am looking to get a compressor.

There doesn’t seem to be much between the enormous workshop ones and the tiny ones that don’t have any air storage.

Has anyone found one that does the job but doesn’t take up the whole garage and weigh the same as a small elephant?!

Will something like this do the trick?

Many thanks.

looked at the same last night as I couldn’t get mine seated and had used 6 CO2 cartridges…

I was going to buy one but instead I popped to local tire shop and the did it for me for £0>>>>

I have the Sealey Tools version of that compressor and it works fine, takes about 15 seconds to build up a full air tank. You’ll need various adaptors and plumbers tape to fit a tyre inflator. Useful for blow drying your chain as well.

I made one with 2 ends and use one of the wheels on the van to get the tubeless wheel going, then re inflate with my small 12v compressor which won’t do the tubeless seating.

That Halfords one is a bit cheaper at Toostation, if you’re near one

Cheaper & more powerful, though probably not as subtle (noise wise). Lidl & Aldi sell them intermittently, but my friend said the last lot are still in our local aldi reduced (think they’ve saturated the market), so worth wandering round your local stores.

No you shouldn’t need a compressor for tubeless but it makes it a darn sight easier

I have an Aldi one its as useful as a workstand, fantastic for the man cave. Works great for drying stuff off like chains, blowign up paddling pools & fixing cars.

This amazing use of ‘blow drying your chains’ – how have my bike chains lasted all this time without such attention?

How has this forum lasted without your wit ?

You mean you don’t blow dry your chains………how quaint. I’m surprised you’re still alive TBH
