Ryder airtank 2.0 problem

[Reinardt van Heerden]

I just got my pump, and within the first 5 times of testing the airtank feature, my airtank won't work. Every time I pump, the gauge goes up with like from 0 to 17psi and when I stroke it back, the pressure goes back to 0. Its like there is no airtank at all. Basically a normal pump when you hold the valve closed. Its literally been an hour since I received the pump, so it can be something simple...

Go exchange it? It’s brand new. If you tinker with it you’re screwed. 

Mine has been one of the best bike related purchases i’ve made in 2024. I change tyres often. It’s a no brainer for tubeless if you don't own a compressor.

I'm going to contact them tomorrow, I didn't even pump the pump to 240 once! I literally pumped it till it felt hardish (160psi) I don't really know the full capacity of the airtank, how much is it?

Ryder Products have a lifetime guarantee. Simply take it back with proof of purchase and swop it out.

I can get mine to 240…my wife cant. Make of that what you must 😅

i almost always use it in air tank mode because its so much faster to fully inflate a tyre. Sounds like yours is defective or has a leak. Does it work as a normal pump? But yea, just go swop it dor a new one.

See the product is from 2018?

Can one still buy it?

If so, what is the retail price and who has stock?

I see Bicycleline advertises it on their website but going for R1995, the cost of a small compressorRYD PUMP AIR TANK 2.0 – Bicycle Line

Which small compressor is R2k and has enough airflow to seat tubeless tires.

I have the air tank and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made. Yet to get a tire / rim combo that won’t seat with it.

This one would do most easy.

Nice. Have you tried one? Would actually be interested in something like this. Didn’t realise they were so cheap.

I have something similar, works 100% for seating tyres (even GP5000 on mavic rims 😠)

yea all good, but good luck seating a tyre with your compressor out in the bush or late at night when everyone is sleeping? i jsut throw my pump in the car when i go on trips 😄 

I used to own a 100L compressor....and got rid of it purely in consideration of how noisy the thing was for the people around me. I work on my stuff at night or in the early hours of the morning. So just didnt make sense as i 'couldn't' use it anyway.  The smaller ones are even worse because they are ALWAYS busy topping up. Yes i'm the guy who frowns at you for starting up you generator for a mere 2h loadshedding window. I wonder how many people know that once you get a noise complaint submitted to counsil for operating a generator...it's not as simple anymore as just opening your garage and switching the thing on....it involves spending money on noise dampening, measuring dB levels etc etc.

The airtank 2.0 is as good a floor pump as you can buy. I got mine for R1300 ish using some google foo and haggling skills at CWC.

There’s no such thing as bad publicity!

The "poping" of the tyre is not that disturbing if they are already awake from the compressor noise

no jokes....it has only happened to me once but one lonely night before an event i was busy changing tyres and in the process of inflating the tyre (with my old floor pump and its wonky gauge) to seat the bead...got to what i thought was 40 psi. Thought to myself, i'll let it sit tonight and just adjust pressure with the digital gauge in the morning. Later in bed...woke up to the sound of a 'gunshot' - Tyre popped off rim 😆. Sealant everywhere.
