Best bike floor pump for tubeless tires.

Once you make the switch to tubeless tires on any of your bikes you ll discover that mounting them using just the floor pump you used for regular tires with tubes is not easy and often impossible. That s quite a spread especially if you re in a hurry. For the floor pumps we counted how many strokes it took to get to 20 psi in a mid width 29 inch mountain bike tire as well as 80 pounds in a 700 x 28mm tire. The airshot holds enough air to seat your tires on the rims every time you need to change your tubeless tire or replace the tubeless tire sealant.

The number of strokes it took ranged from a low of 33 to a high of 75. Simple and efficient the airshot is designed to work with your existing bicycle floor pump and eliminate waste and misuse of the co2 cartridges. The inflator is then connected to the tire and using a lever the air is rapidly released the rush of air forces the bead of the tire onto the rim. While the bike floor pump may be one of the least exciting pieces of essential biking gear it is clutch when you need it.

Mtbr compared four floor pumps inflating the same standard 2 25 mountain bike tire from 10 to 40 psi.
