    Hey, Mikie, I didn't see a good subforum for a pump in Gear and Accessories; re-file this wherever.

    I used one of these today to set up my friend's bike tubeless. What a cool piece of gear!!! You "load up" the pump's internal reservoir to 130+ lbs and unload all that air into your tire with the easy pull of a lever. It's ingenious and eliminates the need for an air compressor to set your tires up tubeless.

    It worked without removing valve cores(!) On the second tire, I had a big gap in the bead that lost most of the air, but because I was not busy pumping I could work the bead and got it set before the reservoir emptied. Has a universal head that takes presta and schrader; its long locking lever works well.

    Cost $120, but some regular floor pumps are pushing 100. When I finally break down and replace my shop POS, it will definitely be with one of these. The only thing keeping me from getting one now is that I have a compressor. The final test will be longevity, but my shop guys assure me that Bonty is awesome about backing their gear.

    Looks slick... Perfect for setting up tubeless on road trips if you get to the point of having to replace a tire :thumbsup:

    @mike,
    Very cool product.
    And you are right, need a tire pump Forum. There are some great and not so great pumps.

    Edit: Moved to the new "Pump" Forum. You rock, as usual Mr. Mike!
