![]() How effective is it? The Flash Charger even worked on a Crank Brothers' wheel and Schwalbe tire combo that had me throwing tools at the wall until I gave it a go with the new Bontrager pump. Air will stop moving into the tire once the pressure equalizes at the pump, after which you can either keep pumping or use the bleed button to lower the pressure to where you need it. It all happens very quickly, with the air moving fast enough to at least seal up every rim and tire combination that I tried, with none of them giving me any grief. Then, after you've made sure the pump's head is locked onto the valve stem, simply pull up on the red handle to release the stored pressure into the tire. It took my 45 pumps to get the pressure up to the maximum of 160 psi, and while the push does get a bit stiff near the end, it's not something that anyone would struggle with. ![]() It works like so: push the red lever down in order to isolate the larger, secondary air chamber that you're going to use to seat the tire. If you haven't guessed by now, I found that Bontrager's clever floor pump performs extremely well at installing troublesome and loose fitting tubeless tires. And using a CO2 cartridge every time you want to install a tire seems just a touch wasteful, doesn't it? The TLR Flash Charger pump is easy to throw in the back of your car or truck if you're worried about needing to repair or replace a tire during a multi-day trip, and it's much less of a hassle than using a compressor, even considering that you can find some pretty inexpensive compressors if you look around. I don't know about you, but I don't always have access to a compressor, not to mention that they're loud and require a power source to get the job done. possibly cost me £10 to do, and made a few for friends too.I know what you're thinking: why not just use a compressor to install your tubeless tires? Or even a CO2 cartridge given that it should only take one to get the job done. Fire extinguishers are scrapped after so many year so easy to get them and the correct fittings screw straight in. can hit up 4 tires on tubeless conversions in no time with 150 psi in the bottle. Fire extinguishers can run near 200 Bar pressure so if your able to bounce your body weight on your track pump to get to that, you really deserve to be shot into orbit. just burst the interior diaphram and It also worked a treat,Īfter that I upped my game with a 3l fire extinguisher and tubeless presta valve with some compression BS fittings. they can run several Bar in pressure and have a shrader valve in the base. So Ive done the soda bottle option and it worked a treat, wrapped it with Gaffa tape and bound the lid too, no way that thing was blowing up with 200PSI let alone 100psi, then I replaced my old boiler with a new boiler and manufactured a pressure chamber out the exspansion bottle of the heating system. Construction is sturdy, finish is top notch, and the metal hardware and components feel like they should hold up for a number of years. I have inflated a number of tubeless tires with the Airshot and it has yet to fail me. If you have a particularly stubborn tire or a gunked-up valve, you can remove the valve core from your tubeless valve and use the adaptor supplied, which screws into the valve itself. ![]() 130psi in the 1.15L bottle translates to 25-30psi in your tire, depending upon your tire and rim combination. is 160psi), screw in the metal valve/chuck onto your tubeless presta valve and turn the blue valve 90º to release the air twisting this valve will quickly dump a large volume of air at high speed and should promptly seat even the most tenacious tubeless tires. Once pressurized to 130psi ( recommended max. You can inflate the Airshot using any normal track pump, or even a mini-pump if necessary, but for safety reasons, a compressor is not recommended.
