geemobee Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Hi Hubbers, I dont have a pump to inflate my wheels (running Tubeless) Which one is the one to go for and what pressure should I be looking to maintain? There is such a variety so I am leaning on the expertise on this forum. Preferably, I would like to buy only one pump. CheersGary
geemobee Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 What is the consensus on this one: SKS Infusion TT Telescopic Mini Pump http://www.vbike.co.za/infusion-tt-telescopic-mini-pump-75051/
BarHugger Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Cheap pump = frustration Try the following (for no elbow grease required): Before race - 12V air compressor (with accurate gauge). During race - CO2 bombs (>4) and adaptors (+ wheel plugs) You are sorted. Edited February 17, 2014 by BarHugger
geemobee Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Hi BH, Thought the bombs will mess with my sealant? G
Pusher Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Get a decent quality pump which will last you for years. Lezyne offer great quality. Light and strong.http://www.lezyne.com/images/products/hand_pumps/pressure_drive/pressure_drive.jpg Dusty and SilverRider 2
HenryS Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I have a Ryder dual action pump which works well enough when I need to just top up air pressure while out on the trail. I'd say the bomb would be used more when you replace a tube. As for the pressure, it's up to you depending on what sort of riding you do. There isn't one straight answer to that.
BarHugger Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Hi BH, Thought the bombs will mess with my sealant? G It will, but you don't want to be caught doing the "elbow boogie" out on a race/ride trying to re-flate (if there is such a word) tubeless tires. There it is all about convenience, saving energy for what matters, effective and efficient application of mechanical skills and speed. You can worry about the sealant after the race/ride. Your major consideration should be to get back home......saving sealent is not worth the effort or a walk (hike-a-bike). Edited February 17, 2014 by BarHugger
Raab Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Nice quality floor pump to check wheels before each ride, and some bombs to take with on the ride. pierre- 1

Thanks, so the bombs are for inflating the tubes inserted when the possible side wall tears or bigger punctures occur. or, just re-inflating the tubeless tyre when there is a loss in pressure.
scotty Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Pop down to garage to pump for new tubeless set ups, floor pump for refills and bombs for trail emergencies. geemobee and MeridaHFS 2
