About this deal
After my weekend activity setting up two wheelsets with tubeless tyres, one product I was glad to have was my BETO JetAir Tubeless Tyre Inflator.
The only downside is it creates a little extra garage clutter (and I have a lot of that!) and needs a little extra space in the car if I need to take it on a road trip. I tend to start the release a little slowly and increase the flow as I see fit. I also usually remove the valve core to aid the ingress to the tyre – once the tyre has seated I have to do this anyway because I need to put the sealant in. I don’t try and seat a tyre with sealant in situ; and I don’t think that needs much explanation!
What to look for in best tubeless tyre inflators
Across my mtb mates I'd say that I'm fairly typical, people dip in and out depending on circuimstances and recent experiences. Despite its small size and light weight, the Airshot feels very well built The threaded inflator head ensures a secure fit to your Presta valve
This is a question that likely would have had a very different answer 20 years ago; but as tyres and rims have got wider and common wisdom on rolling resistance and aerodynamics has involved, so has the preference on what PSI to run on road bike tyres. In the old days it was thought that tyres simply needed to be as narrow and as hard as possible, but all the evidence suggests that's simply not the case. We're talking about speed and rolling resistance here, but another great benefit of running wider tyres at lower pressures is greater comfort. Mr ANDERSON This is a fantastic device, and essential for seating difficult 700c / 28 inch road tyres. I have never had any problems seating tubeless tyres on my 26" Mavic mountain bike rims however, I have recently been struggling to Schwalbe G-One tubeless easy tyres onto Alex Draw 1.9P tubeless rims.The growing popularity of tubeless tyres has led to a new pump category, with an extra chamber that provides a big burst of air to get a tubeless tyre seated. You pressurise the tank, and then release all the air into the tyre in one hit, blowing the tyre bead up on to the rim seat. Weight and portability
No-one's making you use tubeless. But please, don't make claims that might put others off. You haven't tried it so don't know the reality.
As a challenge, we tried it on a variety of large volume 2.8in and 3.0in tyres. Our 1L bottle, inflated to 140psi, seated the bead every time, although we still needed to top up the air to get the tyre to ping into place fully and bring it up to a useable pressure.
