By far the best, most concise explanation of tubeless vs tubular vs clincher tires I've ever seen from anyone else including Park Tool, GCN, etc. Those diagrams were excellent.
Nice! Maybe I’ll do a dedicated tire types video building off these diagrams
Another great video with clear and insightful explanations. Despite having suffered a rash of pinch flats this season, I’m still using tubed clinchers. But now I have a better idea of what tubeless clinchers are all about.
Thanks for another brilliant review! I ended up with a silent compressor after learning that the price was the same as for this beast. I truly recommend that, especially if your household ends up with any inflatable toys.
haha that's another reason to try out the silent compressor!
Thanks for the great explanation about the three types of mounting styles. It is by far the cleanest explanation I have come across. The diagrams are key. I have a lezyne booster which works beautifully as a boost pump, but fails as a floor pump. The topeak looks much better in this regard, but they were not available. In any case, boost pump is definitely the way to go (or compressor?) I got a specialized rhombus to mount the first try yesterday.
I’ve just bought this pump today - just checking out how to use it, thank you! Tubeless conversion next!
Nice!
I’ve owned this pump for over a year now and cannot recommend it more. Very rugged so it feels like it will last for awhile. Works on all my bikes presta and shrader. Plus it seats tubeless rims like a champ. Expensive (I think I paid $125) but well worth it.
I got the Topeak tubie 2 stage recently and that is also a very nice pump for tubeless.
Nice. Key addition to the shop
Thank you! Very informative 👍🤘😎
Great review! I've had one of those California Air Tools ultra quiet compressors for about 5 years now, yet my everyday go-to pre-ride pump is still my track pump as it's always ready (no need to wait for a tank to fill). The compressor still gets a lot of use - seating tubeless, blow gun for quick drying my drivetrain after a wash, inflating car tires, etc.
Nice. Is a 1 gallon ultra quiet compressor enough volume, or is it refilling often?
@@TheBikeSauce based on volume, I'd say 1 gallon is ample for seating bike tires but not enough for uses that need steady air. With a 5gal, filling a bike tire doesn't trip the refill switch, but the blow gun does in 2 seconds with about 15 seconds more before it's noticeably running out of puff. Similar for paint sprayers and air tools.
I just bought a separate booster that I pump up with my standard pump. Cheaper and basically identical if you already have a pump
I like this one Topeak JoeBlow Tubi 2-Stage Floor Pump
I use the same rationalization - I save so much money buying tools so I don’t have to go to the bike shop… :) But there is some truth to it, as I do go to the shop less often. Also I ended up with an air compressor that had been my daughter’s, but i never use it for tubeless tire mounting as the Bontranger Flashcharger pump (with air reservoir) works so well and is easier to use that the compressor.
Ha nice. It’s all an investment, right?
+1 for those cali air compressors.
through a combination of pressrizing it to 9 bars several times and manual pumping I was a able to get a 7 gallon air tank filled to near about 110 PSI !!!! it does seem a lot easier than using a standard bike pump its a lot easier pumping than a standard bike pump !!!
Man 10 dollars? Shops around my way wanted to charge 40 for 2 tires! Exactly why I am here!
had a question for you if I need to replace the chuck on this unit can any one tell me the hose diameter so that I might attempt to jerry rig a replacement help please thank you!
Does Bike Sauce or any have any experience and or thoughts regarding the Topeak JoeBlow Tubi 2Stage Track Pump?
If I Buy This Pump, Should I Buy Again Spare Portable Pump For Attached On My Bike? (Am Not Yet Have A Bike).
"Trips of shame to the bike shop" feels like a personal attack to me
😆 we've all done it
REI offers free labor installation for tubeless tires for REI-Members. They will of course charge for parts if needed such as tubeless tape, stems and sealant all at fair prices.
I just got the pitch for joining REI to take advantage of the free installation, etc. problem for me is I’m visiting my mom and REI is only 6 or 7 mikes away. Where I live, the closest REI is 70 miles and there’s no justification for me to do that even though I’m retired. It’s something like $30/tire at my LBSs. I think this Joe Blow may be the ticket. I have a 6 or 7 year old JB that still works like a champ.
👍
I have that pump. Pretty nice. Still couldn't get my gravelking SS to seat. Wasn't the pumps fault though. LBS also couldn't do it. Probably caused by me riding them for 1k km before.
Did you try an extra layer of rim tape? That’s always solved the non-seating issue for me
@@TheBikeSauce I did not. I will try that with the new Hunt 42s that I ordered after your review.
I had trouble seating my SS tyres too. What I did was mount the tyre with a tube inside, inflated it till it seated, undid one bead, took the tube out and gave it a blast with the pump (I have the same pump as well).
So my question is.. if you pre inflate to 140-160psi but the tire says max 50psi then how does it work if you’re releasing all of it into a tire that doesnt take that much. Im worried the tired would just explode
Oh bc the canister volume is less than the tire volume. Once you dump all the air into the tire, it only jumps up to 30-40psi at most. There’s also some loss during the best seat phase so not all of the air is making it into the tire
Are you adding 160 psi of air to the tire to seat it and then releasing air to your desired riding pressure? Can the tire/rim handle these pressures? Sorry, I’m new to all of this.
The pressure in the tank usually doesn’t equal the pressure in the tire due to volume differences. And once the bead is seated then you can stop adding the air. Also most tires recommended max PSI is very conservative. But yeah if it’s to high you can just reduce it lower but most of the time you have yo add more.
Right on. Yea. 160 psi in the tank = about 20-25 psi in a 29x2.6 tire
Thank you both! That helps me understand it better.
2 years later how has it held up? It’s on sale at half price I’m thinking of getting it?
Still used daily. I had to grease the main shaft once, but all good since.
Very informative as usual. I don’t understand why this channel has so few subscribers, altho I predict this is about to change shortly. I am eagerly awaiting the cooperation with René Herse. Because some of that content will end up here, right? RIGHT??? 😅
haha thanks. The channel is a year old. Slow and steady growth is fine by me. Whatever results come of the RH project will all be summarized here. They're student projects, and I try to balance academic freedom and tight management. Plus - they are 1-semester to year-long projects, so results will also come slowly.
You still using this??
He left out the $195 price tag...if anything, u can mount ur own tubeless tires and then take the wheelset to whoever has an air compressor to help set the bead...any auto mechanic, tire store, bike shop, etc...no one is going to charge u to use their air compressor, trust me...plus u'll only need a blast of some sort for the initial bead setting...after that, any pump will work just fine.😎
I definitely mentioned it's a premium product. I don't mention price since they change regularly. For one who likes to swap tires often, it's worth it to have a booster pump or compressor at home.
194 for a floor pump...
