I use BB gun Co2 if regular pump fails.
Pump that can seat tubeless
- Thread starter CBJ
- Start date
an interesting take on the issue: https://nsmb.com/articles/build-your-own-tubeless-inflator/
I still think buying a compressor is easier and cheaper. It's not like this thing is that much more portable than a small compressor.

$20 for a fire extinguisher that you have to empty and destroy
$10-15 on hosing
$5-10 on hose barbs
this all assumes you have a drill, drill bits, teflon tape, and more hosing, and a tire chuck lying around.
Or you can spend $75 on one that is significantly less likely to explode. I'm all for DIY smart solutions, but this seems more like a cure for boredom than an actual solution.
I thought about the expense of the pump I just bought, but I figure it's a $35 pump with an extra reservoir on it. So, I paid $35 for what others have priced at $75. I guess that's a comfort, and I don't have to worry about things exploding.
Famous last words?
CO2 can screw up your sealant (if you're using something like Stans).
