Tubeless Tire Inflator 1.15l

I learned that my Lezyne Pressure Overdrive pump might have been recalled by reading its reviews elsewhere. Those reviewers raved about the Airshot. I bought one and planned to use it on un-tubed wheels on a newly purchased used bike. I wimped out and went with TPU tubes. The Airshot sat unused, until I converted everything to Clik valves. Two un-tubed 29x2.2 Maxxis Ikons with Fillmore valves needed their sealant topped up and valve stems replaced. I deflated one of them, reflected the tire enough to expose the Fillmore and replace it with a tubeless stem that could accept a Clik valve. I restored the tire and studied the Airshot. Inflate it with a floor pump attached to the presta valve on top. Discharge it into an empty valve stem, or a presta valve. I put a presta valve in the tires un-tubed valve stem, inflated the Airshot to 60 psi, and flipped its valve, emptying its tank into the waiting tire. The tire inflated quickly, and the loud bangs of the bead seating followed. Painless, and quick! I released the air from the tire, injected 2 oz of sealant, replaced the presta valve with a Clik valve, and inflated it with a mini electric inflator. One down, one to go. The other went just as quickly. I'm sold on the Airshot. It's small, light, sealed the large volume tires quickly with a reasonably low pressure, and it's not under recalled.

I’ve always been able to get my gravel tires to set properly with my floor pump, but it never seems to work for my mtb. Bought the Airshot to mount some new Maxxis DHR/DHF on my Marin Alpine Trail for the spring riding season and it worked like a charm. No room for a compressor in my life so this is a great addition to my home mechanic set up. Hopeful to get years of use out it, and if I do, it’s totally worth the cost.

No more soap, no more strap, no more air compressor, no more tube Hokey Pokey, no more sore thumbs. Used this for a 33mm pathfinder on a roval carbon wheel. Tough combo, worked first try out the box.

This will work for its intended purpose, but it could be improved upon. You will likely need to remove the valve core on your wheel in order to get the flow of air to move quickly enough to pop the tire on the bead. After that, if you leave it in place for a few minutes, you can remove the tank, screw in the valve core, and inflate the tire to full pressure. The only main drawback I see with this tank itself is that there is no way to remove the Presta valve core in the tank inflation valve. These things often get bent or fail. Replacing the entire Presta valve assembly on the tank should not be the only option for something at this price level.

Fantastic! Works like magic! After everything I had tried and all the money I had spent trying to get a seal for my road bike tubeless tires, this product, despite its unassuming looks, worked like magic. No hassles.

I was hesitant to buy this particular brand of tubeless inflator, it is the most expensive of the bunch and it offered the same as the others. I read a whole bunch of reviews in various items here in Amazon and read the least bad reviews in the sales page of this Airshot tubeless inflator, all of them have some bad reviews. First of, The item arrived in a box, the tank filler valve was making contact with one of the boxes walls, it almost made a hole through it, but it was protected by a metallic valve cap, so no issues at all with the valve core, it is intact and working as it should. Secondly, since I read a whole bunch of reviews about it leaking air at more than 120psi, I unscrewed the top head of the canister and applied some teflon to it. Afterwards, I tested it up to 150psi and no leaks whatsoever. Supposedly issue number 1, solved!!! Thirdly, the instructions on the box are extremely clear on how to use it. I read them once and was able to use it right away, no complications or misinformation. Fourthly, the canister did exactly what it is designed for, several times today. I had to remove and install my road bikes tubeless tires about three times per wheel because of a mysterious leak, thankfully I found out it was the tubeless valve leaking inside the rim, and just once it didn't pop the bead and it was because I was doing it with the beads dry and with just the sealant inside the tires. In that particular case when it couldn't pop the bead, I simply pressurize the canister again, without disconnecting it and letting air go, and opened the check valve and the bead seated immediately. If you want some pointers on the best way to use it, following I will list a couple: 1. Install your tubeless tires on your tubeless ready rims as usual. 2. Pour in them or push through the valve, whatever floats your boat, the correct amount of sealant. 3. Spray some rubbing alcohol, soapy water or detailing wax on the outside of the tire, make sure it gets inside the rim next to the bead. 4. Remove the valve core of the tubeless valve. 5. Connect the Airshot canister making sure that the check valve is closed, that is when the little handle is perpendicular to the hose. 6. Pressurize the canister up to 140psi with your regular floor pump, disconnect it and close its valve core. 7. Open the canisters check valve and be amazed at how it makes the two beautiful popping sounds that mark the culmination of your suffering popping tubeless tire beads. 8. Release the pressure inside the tire and canister by opening the canisters pressurization valve or by simply disconnecting it from the tire. 9. Introduce the valve core on your tires tubeless valve, inflate normally and go ride the hell out of it, that's what I did!!! I hope this review and tips are useful for those of you hesitant, as I was, of investing 60 bucks on a simple little canister with two valves, a hose and an adapter. It is a game changer for me and I think that the investment was paid just today with those six times I had to use it and it saved me from suffering and blisters on my hands because of the meaningless pumping with the floor pump with no success as it happened a couple of weeks ago when I was setting for the first time my new Pirelli tubeless tires. Best of luck!! MB

Recently I was faced with seating a new set of tubeless tires for my road bike. In the past, I've had good luck using the "just pump until your arms fall off" method of seating tubeless tires along with the CO2 cartridge method, but I was feeling exceptionally lazy and I've had a few failures lately, so when I saw this was available for same day delivery, I decided to give it a shot (or is that an Air.. shot? Get it?). It did the trick alright, and got two 700x25c Schalbe Pro One tires seated on my Hope 20Five wheels in short order. There are a couple finer points worth noting... one is that it seems to work best (at least with narrower width road tires) if you position the valve stem in the 6 o'clock position, Another point is that you should rotate the tire at least once before inflating to get some sealant distributed around the tire. And finally, if you're using the valve-stem adapter which screws into your valve in place of the valve-stem, make sure that the valve is between the 3 and 9 o'clock positions so that the pressure doesn't push your sealant back up and into your air shot when you let it out of the tire to remove the Airshot. It should go without saying that if you're using the valve-stem adapter, you should let the pressure out of the system with the presta valve on top of the Airshot before removing the hose from the valve. So, over all, I'd say this thing does it's job well. It's built with nice hardware and will probably last for quite a while. I just wish it wasn't so pricey. Honestly it was a toss up between this and a California Air Tools CAT-1P1060S. This is 2/3rds the price of an actual air compressor. But this comes with all the proper fittings to connect to a presta valve and was available same day from Amazon, whereas I would've needed to buy a hose and a presta valve nozzle for the air compressor. Eventually I may still get a compressor, but for now, this does the trick. One final note, the bottle itself is shiny and slippery and will probably get bounced around occasionally if you're anywhere near as much of a klutz as me. I threw a couple old tube socks over the bottle to give it a little extra padding and some grip. The airshot folks sell a fitted neoprene sock on their site, but a couple tube socks seem to do the trick just as well. Pro's: * Easy to use * Quality parts * Does what it says Con's: * Pricey

Works!! Only had one tire that didn't work with this and it was a known issue that they were even hard to seat with a compressor.

Finally a solution that works! I’ve had a hell of a time setting up tubeless tires for my gravel and road bikes. This device actually works. I had a stubborn set of 28” schwalbe one’s that refused to seat for me. But with the Airshot it inflated first try. I didn’t even need to use soapy water for the second tire; it seared immediately. This thing rocks!

1.inflate the canister to 150 psi. 2.the rim and tire should be clean 3.put a dishwash bubble between the rim and the side of the tire so that the bubble will help the bead to slip into the rim. 4.remove the presta valve so that a large volume of air flow pass thru. 5.fix the canister and release the air you will hear the poping sound. 6.if you will not put a dishwash bubble or soapy between the tire and rim you will fail. 7.once you here the popping sound that means your ok remove the air 8.and you can put the liquid sealant use a Syringe and fill the air shot 150 psi inflate . THE GOAL IS TO LET THE BEADS SIT OF THE RIM.

funziona benissimo, comodo ed utilizzato molte volte

Ca marche super bien. Sans cela, impossible de faire claquer mes pneus tubeless. Le système est super pratique, pas besoin de déconnecter pompe à pied, le Airshot au pneu de vélo, avec le système de valve c'est au top. J'ai du m'y reprendre à 2 fois pour faire claquer mon pneu, la première fois, je n'avais pas mis assez de pression, mais grâce à ce système on retente rapidement. Le système pour insérer à la place de l'obus dans la valve de la roue est top. C'est hermétique avec un débit maximum. Bref je recommande.

Klappt gut . 2 mal üben dann gehts
