when installing this Victoria Corsa Speed tubeless, you think it's still feasible to inflate it with a floor pump? would you think it makes a big difference to have a compressor in setup duration? I have Hed Jet + wheels. You mentioned that if race more frequently would instead use latex tubes with sealant inside, that would still be with Corsa Speed tubeless tires?
If yes, then I assume the tires would still be hard to install, with the only difference that you would not face issues when start inflating it (if running it tubeless without a compressor there could be times that when start inflating it, the air doesn't hold into the tire), is that correct?
I should receive the tires in the next few days, so appreciate the feedback. Thanks
I have two Corsa Speed Tubeless tires right now. One of them i can mount quite easily and get up to pressure on my H3+ using a regular floor pump. The other one won't inflate, at all. I'm not quite sure what's wrong with the latter, but i'm hoping that perhaps CO2 could do the trick.
As for tire installation, soapy water does wonders to facilitate mounting. I actually carry a spray bottle of that stuff with me as I have one tubeless ready rim (currently with tubes) that is a royal PITA to mount.
