    I seem to have…umm…. misplaced mine!

    As I run tubeless, and the tyres dont stay “on” the rim when I take the air out, I’ve been considering getting something like the Joe Blow Boost pump (integrated air cannister) but the cheapest version I’ve found is £120!

    Have also considered getting an Airshot and a standard track pump, which would be cheaper.

    Anyone have experience with the Airshot? Or have any other options other than the Joe Blow that is a bit cheaper that I should look at?

    TIA hive mind!

    I’ve never had an issue inflating tubeless with the Joeblow Mountain X which can be had for around £60. (e.g. Amazon).

    +1 for Joe Blow Mountain. It gets new tyres up every time.
    If you start swapping around old tyres, sometimes they need more of a kick than what a track pump can deliver.

    £120 for a pump! That sounds a bit steep.

    Made my own version of an airshot with a 3l drinks bottle, 2 presta valves, and some pvc tube. Think it all cost about £4. Works very well at inflating and seating tubeless tyres with an old Bikehut track pump.

    I have an airshot which replaced a coke bottle inflator. It is a joy to use.

    Topeak mountain x, just got one and set up some new tyres tubeless with it. Works really well.

    I have a schwalbe booster which looks the same as the airshot.  It works beautifully for the inflation part but I hate the bit that screws onto the valve as it is really fiddly to do as was super stiff on the Schwalbe Booster.  A lot of review videos seem to skip over that bit :).  If it had a quick release head like lots of pumps do then it would be perfect.  I’ve tried fitting a quick release head but haven’t really managed yet
