Skubarra Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 I'm just intrigued by the title of this thread... Of all the words in the title why did the OP feel "pump" is the one that needs an Afrikaans translation? Markellis 1
W@nted Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 Thread revival… my floor pump gauge failed yesterday, so I am in the market for a new floor pump. How is the Ryder airtank 2 as an everyday pump, when not needing to seat tubeless tires? DieselnDust 1

Both my floor pumps over read massively at low pressures (1.8 for my MTB) I only use the Guage for road to the point that if my Guage fails I'll still keep popping but refer to my Topeak Guage

How is the Ryder airtank 2 as an everyday pump, when not needing to seat tubeless tires? I have not seen the need for anything other than the Ryder floor pumps. I’m currently using a digital floor 3.0 . It’s superb and easy to use. The air tank 2.0 is an easy pump to use every day and for tubeless tyre inflation. It also really good value for Pulas because rands are worth ducks

Everytime you see a sale on pumps and then you remember “oh crap there’s. Nothing wrong with my joe blow “ and you end up spending the money on some other crap you never knew you needed instead.

Still need to pressurise the larger chamber, or inflate directly? I read somewhere it takes alot more strokes 😬 to inflate a tire compared to normal gloor pumps?

No, the tank is "by passed" for normal use. Works like a normal pump. DieselnDust 1

The Air tank does require more strokes to inflate a MTB tyre. It can inflate the tyre directly or via the airtank. You can switch it between tank and direct. It does need more strokes due to the higher pressure it can pump i.e higher pressure = less volume. The smaller area of the pump piston therefore requires less applied force to pump the air against the pressure. So where some stand alone floor pumps are struggling at 140psi the Airtank pump is comfortable. Once a MTB tyre is seated you just need to adjust the pressure so high volume air movement isn't needed. t W@nted 1
michaelbiker Posted December 18, 2022 Posted December 18, 2022 I have an Airtank and had a Joe Blow. I way prefer the head on the Airtank and the tubeless seating feature is really handy. The pressure gauge is good but not great. I gave the Joe Blow to my dad. W@nted 1
MajG Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Are these tiny compressors capable of seating tubeless tyre's? Yes I have solid floor pump and beads lined with soapy water. Just to be able to seat tyre's with least amount of effort
