Your cart is empty. The Airshot Tubeless Inflator is an air cylinder that you pressurize using a standard Presta floor pump. You don't have to use a compressor or waste CO2 cartridges when installing a tire that just doesn't want to seat correctly.
The cylinder, once pressurized, a release tap lets you control the airflow into the tire for a quick burst that should seat even the most rebellious tires. The simple and efficient design gives you the possibility to use your existing pump and not invest in an expensive, bulky tubeless pump.
The Airshot is portable and you can carry it in your car if needed and it's easy to stash away under your tool bench or closet until your next tubeless tire or tubeless tire sealant change.
The Airshot has a maximum pressure of 160psi (11bar) and a volume of 1.15 liters.

All I can say is WOW. I needed to replace the tires on both of my road bikes and had no issues for 3/4 tires. However, the last tire just would not pop into place like the others and I decided to purchase the Airshot. After trying again and using the Airshot for the first time, it popped on in seconds!! What an incredible product, ABSOLUTELY worth the price, do yourself a favor and snag one, you won’t regret it.

Works great, struggled to bead a couple tires until I picked this up. Life saver, and I see it being good size for the bikes tool bag.

Probado con rueda 29 y ha funcionado a la primera. He utilizado una bomba de pie de 160 PSI e hinchando el calderín a 150 psi.Recomendado para uso doméstico para ruedas tubeless 29 mtb

I run tubeless and could never get the bead to seat with a floor pump. I have a Viair TLC Pro and that didn't work either. Tried soapy water, strap, etc., however I just never had luck. I could seat it about 20% of the time with CO2 cartridges, but that was a huge waste. I got this to try out given the rave reviews. BAM! Filled the Airshot to 160 PSI, threaded it up to my loosely installed rim and tire and pop it goes it so easy! What I love is that even with the valve core out, you can slowly release air using the Airshot and deflate without causing a vacuum, which can cause the bead to pop off. Fill with sealant and pump back up. SOOOO EASY. Just get it.

Works great for seating high-psi tubeless road bike tires (I don't own a MTB, can't speak to that), easy to use, compatible with basically any pump. The only real complaint I have is that the tallness of the canister combined with the length of the tube you connect to your valve stem results in it often wanting to fall over. That's more of an annoyance than an impact to function, so I couldn't knock it down much for that. If it had some sort of stabilizing base that would keep it upright better, it would definitely have gotten 5 stars.

Cheaper than the pumps with built in chambers. This allows you to shoot a quick burst of air into a tire to quickly seat it. However, if you don't have high flow valve cores, or gummed up cores, you may want to remove the core before you shoot the burst of air. The nice thing is that this screws on tight wether there is a core or not. Then once seated you can unscrew... add some sealant... and inflate. Side tip: Wetting the tire first, or adding a little sealant goo to the rim, will assist in seating quickly.

Without an air compressor, this is the next best thing. Simple, practical, portable.

This inflator makes it possible to seat tubeless tire beads without a compressor. I've used it, successfully, on road tires and MTB tires. Just make sure the beads are well lubricated so they slip into the rim hooks when the pressure hits. The unit is very light so it flops around when you're using it.

This works well to set the tyre beads onto the rim. I run 27.5x2.5 MTB tyres, which are almost impossible to set without this. Until I bought it, set up was painful, but now it’s very simple to do with a regular track pump attached to this Airshot. Now I can work much more easily on solving slow leaks and punctures.If you want to run tubeless tyres, this kit is vital - if you struggle with tape and valves, then this Airshot makes the process of setting the tyre much easier, even if you’re out on a trail.

1.inflate the canister to 150 psi.2.the rim and tire should be clean3.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 air8.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.

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 saysCon's:* Pricey
