About this deal

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 You're kidding, right? So people who are "very happy with tubless [sic]" are not real people, they only exist "in forums"? This whole thing is a marketing ploy by the Tubeless Industrial Complex to con people like you? Unfortunately, we can’t recommend the Lifeline Airblast for use with MTB tires, and can only imagine it working with low-volume road tires. However, due to its poor overall construction and inaccurate gauge, we find it hard to recommend at all. Although the pump is stable on the ground, the whole action of using it does feel a little flimsy compared to something more solid such as the Giant Control Tower 0 floor pump. When I set up tubeless tyres these days, they go up first time, and stay up. Mostly any cut will seal instantly with no intervention from me. Last time I recall even hearing a hiss was about 6 months ago, and that stopped within seconds. Maybe once a year there will be a 3mm+ cut that requires a rubber plug to seal - done on the roadside, no mess, no faff, not even removing the wheel.

The BETO JetAir splits the difference between cost and portability that a combined pump and charge tank provides, at the expense of a minor amount of faff in comparison. This pump has been designed to work best on 32mm and wider tyres and in comparison to Lezyne’s CNC and Classic Floor Drive pumps. The barrel on the Sport Gravel Drive is larger, helping to move more air at a time. With regards to the pumping power, this one is excellent for large-volume tyres as it requires a lot less effort to get the tyres pumped up, which is why it's so good for gravel tyres.There’s nothing particularly flashy about this tubeless inflator pump. It’s well-built, and even the plastic parts feel robust. The wide handle is comfortable to use, and the stroke is smooth and pretty well dampened. The large, easy-to-read gauge proved to be accurate in our tests, however, it does need a little while to settle before you can take a reading. The Presta + Schrader Smarthead is a great feature, allowing you to use the pump on both types of valves without having any faff. We also liked the twist-to-release lever, which matches the overall robust feel of the pump. The Topeak JoeBlow Booster performed averagely in our lab, recording a peak flow of 2.8 l/s in our test scenario and a one-shot pressure of 24 psi. While these numbers weren’t outstanding, we were impressed by the JoeBlow’s reliability, bomb-proof build and useful features. Quality Beto Tubeless Air Tank Inflator will last much longer and perform better than their cheaper counterparts. They are typically made with higher quality materials and are designed to withstand the wear and tear that comes with regular use. Investing in a high-quality Beto Tubeless Air Tank Inflator means that you won’t have to replace it as frequently, saving you money.

There's some debate about where the pressure gauge should be. Some manufacturers put it at the top of the barrel, which makes it easier to read, others put it at the bottom because it's less likely to get damaged there if the pump falls over. If you go for pump with a high gauge, make sure it has some sort of protection against falls. John has been writing about bikes and cycling for over 30 years since discovering that people were mug enough to pay him for it rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work.I'm sure lots of people are very happy with tubless but they seem to be mostly in forums, the riders out in the road/trails are still using tubes, now some may not realise they could but equally others like myself it's simply just not worth the hassle/cost at this point in time. The Birzman Pump Up looks great and scores with its sleek aesthetic. However, in practice, the basic and poorly designed head is very hard to use efficiently. I'm assuming you are waiting for inner tubes that don't go flat due to thorns, because you'd have to use tyre levers, and that's a "technical fix for the shortcomings of current [inner tube] technology". Don't buy into the Inner-Tube Industrial Complex consumer rip-off. They WANT you to keep using inner tubes. And keep replacing snapped tyre levers. And patch kits...fight the power etc etc It’s important to note that when shopping for Pumps products, it can be tempting to go for the lowest price possible, but be wary of retailers that offer prices that seem too good to be true. Some less reputable retailers may sell counterfeit or low-quality Beto Tubeless Air Tank Inflator, which can be dangerous and not perform as well as the genuine product. Choosing a reputable retailer like Chain Reaction Cycles can help ensure that you’re getting a high-quality product at a competitive price. If you can look past the plastic finish, slow gauge and slightly flimsy feel of the Bontrager TLR Flash Charger, you will be rewarded with a well-performing pump that undercuts the competition by a large margin.

Tubeless has become one of the most common wheel-tyre set ups of the past few years, with the majority of off-the-peg road bikes now coming with wheels and tyres that are at least tubeless-compatible nowadays.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.
