Brilliant and elegant solution. Last capability I needed to be fully equipped for tubeless and I didn't need a compressor taking up space. Made one with a 4LB old extinguisher already in the house, works great! I only needed to buy a tubeless valve stem. I skipped the proper smart head upgrade and used spare plumbing parts on hand, and some stiff tubing to adapt to the existing rubber hose of extinguisher. The stiff plumbing hose is a cruse press fit on the valve stem, works fine. Even without taking the valve core out! Among the best tubeless hacks around, thanks!

Does the extinguisher need to be this big or can a smaller extinguisher hold a big enough volume of air to inflate a tyre?

I just made one, is it normal to have a bit of condensation when you fill it up to about 100-120 psi? There's condensation around the tire valve and the lid of the tank, basically anywhere where there's a potential air leak.
@MeantforDescent
@MeantforDescent 9 ай бұрын
I've never had condensation when I've used mine, but refrigeration is caused by the movement of gas, so I'm sure it's a plausible. I wouldn't worry too much.

I'm ashamed to say I've gotten off the bike and walked over countless numbers of those technical features. You ride over them like they don't exist, but here I am saying hell nah I ain't about to break my neck here. I have a FS bike and good MTB skills, but my problem is confidence
@MeantforDescent
@MeantforDescent Жыл бұрын
I'd bet that if you picked one of those features, an attainable goal, and stopped to session it, after a few goes you'd nail it, and that would go a long way to building confidence. It depends on the feature, but for the most part keeping your weight to the rear of the bike pays dividends. Good for steep descents, drops and rock gardens, to prevent you from going over the bars. Also, don't second guess yourself. I've had a couple of offs caused by braking when I shouldn't have. Often I feel that once you're committed you've just got to ride the wave. At the end of the day, though, the only person really judging your performance is you. If you enjoyed your last ride, that was a good ride.

@@MeantforDescent thanks for the advice, I'll give it a shot next time I'm there. As you say I just need to pick a feature on a trail and just keep practicing it. Once I get comfortable with it, I can move onto another feature and take my confidence with me

For 32 bucks it should have a back light and be Incremented at better than whole numbers when in PSI Mode, it should at least be by .5 or even better .1. It's Digital so it should be more precise.

Agreed! I have had a digital gauge from Schwable for 4 years now and that goes to .1 accuracy. I like that it has simple one button operation and is more slim than this Topeak unit. It doesn't have the air release button but it's so simple to quickly read, remove, let some air out then re-check. Makes a massive difference to the ride for sure!

Why do you have to mash that tune button to get it in "live reading" mode? Why add that extra step? Why not just have it change modes when you press the pressure release button ?

Great work! Having just made one using a garden sprayer that obviously won't go to 160 PSI, I fancy giving this a try. One concern is that a canister that size piped up to 160psi has a lot of volume so it may be possible to inflate the tyre beyond its safe max pressure. Any idea what pressure your tyre sits at after a full discharge, i.e. when they tyre and inflator are equalised? Cheers
@flosa1995
@flosa1995 9 ай бұрын
Volume should not matter because the pressure equalizes, so if you got 3 bar of air inside your garden sprayer but 4 bar in your tire, the tire would push air into the garden sprayer If your garden sprayer has 3 bar and your tire 1 bar then from garden sprayer to tire If both equal out after that in pressure level the air stops moving, you should have heard that already When you inflate your tire with it and the remove the hose from your tire you are still left with pressure inside the garden sprayer, doesnt matter if 2l or 200l volume. Makes sense? Ofc this dude wont push 160psi into his tire, else that mtb tire would be very unhappy, you just give it bursts until the tire seats, but it enables him to reuse it and not have to repressurize after each tire like with the 3bar of a garden sprayer

Too many coincidences here. Same rims, same track pump, same valve caps, same extinguisher (not yet modified) and most importantly......... same accent. 😁 Very helpful, as I now know what size thread for the hose outlet 👍 Edit to add: It's worth re-inserting the handle so you get the position of the valve in the right place

Rad bit of hackery! Though you don't need a tubeless inflator to mount Maxxis MTB tyres, never have needed one after mounting 200+ over the last 10 years or so with any old floor pump. Just use a tyre lever and mount the tyre (as much as you can) manually, see Syd and Mackey's technique here if you have a particularly undersized rim. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qqtjm5ef0qrIf6M.html
