Re: Advice Needed: inflation device (compressor) for tubless 29ner [roberto24]

I just use a normal pump. Remove the valve core, spray very soapy water all around the tire bead and pump the pump until the seal pops into place. Take pump off, add sealant, replace valve core and pump up like a normal tire. No compressor needed.

^^This^^

Also, make sure the center bed of the rim is taped (built up) appropriately. This provides a temporary air seal with tire bead when installing. Inflating with pump will then push/snap beads on to rim.

ADD: Do not remove valve core until AFTER you pump and initially set beads on rim. Then, remove valve core, add sealant, replace core, inflate as desired, etc.
