This photo brings back memories of my grandfathers workshop… REALLY FUCKING LOUD MEMORIES.The well worn tyre inflating gun. This is a straight though gun from the tank with no restrictions or reducers to slow the flow/volume. Press the handle down and full pressure out the nozzle.
The brass fitting in the end is a presta-schrader adaptor, I change it out every few years as the O-ring gets worn.
It doesn't get screwed on, its a push fit as the valve sits nicely in the adaptor, sealed by the O-ring.
Inflates a 2.5 tyre from sitting baggy on the rim to sealed and popped on the bead in ~2-3 seconds.

Around 2008, me and a mate were making his non tubeless Mavic rims tubeless at the local servo.PSSSSHHHHH PSSHHHHH PSSHHHHH BANG!!
It's for my daughter, I think she'll be fine with it.Should have asked the oracle which one to buy... not all sideloaders are made equal, some are so bad they spit the bottle out the opposite side
Blackburn Wayside gets top reviews. Got one on my eeb.Zee ftw
I have a Canyon side loader on mine, it's been excellent so far.Blackburn Wayside gets top reviews. Got one on my eeb.
The Spech sideloader is apparently very good too.
I have the BikeComponents home branded side loader on another 2 bikes with zero bottle ejections. Good price too.
There is a few threads on MTBR of bottle spitting side loaders.
Exactly.Even more reason to truck on down to Bunnings and pick up a cheapy compressor for those stubborn ones.
I tried this method and had high hopes but must have messed it up along the way. Couldn't get enough high initial pressure blast to seat it.Works a treat too. If I haven't been able to seat a tyre with my floor pump, I've done it using the above method.
That must have made for some awesome security footage!!!Around 2008, me and a mate were making his non tubeless Mavic rims tubeless at the local servo.
The bang had us both deaf ! The servo workers rushed out to see what had exploded and the people pumping fuel were hiding behind their cars.
There was sealant in our eyes, mouth, hair... fckn everywhere. We were trying to talk and couldn't hear each other
Luckily I have never experienced this since.
Luckily the Zee only has a tiny logo on itBlackburn Wayside gets top reviews. Got one on my eeb.
The Spech sideloader is apparently very good, if you dont mind a Spech logo on your bike.

Errr, we were doing so well up to here.The Spech sideloader is apparently very good, if you dont mind a Spech logo on your bike.
Holy crap. Growing up Dad had a fully kitted out workshop. Had a flat and I just wanted to ride my bike. Gaff tape on the tube and put all back together inflating with the air compressor and BANG - frigging thing exploded. Ears ringing. Kept some spare tube repair kits after that on hand.Around 2008, me and a mate were making his non tubeless Mavic rims tubeless at the local servo.
