so, choice between obtaining one of those high flow devices, or just sticking a goddam tube in it and leaving my tubeless conversion for another day / month /year.

I usually find I can tell how easily a tyre is going to mount by how tough it is to get it on the rim. If it was a stress to get it on, usually it will go up first time, unless something is very wrong, like the valve stem sitting just outside the tyre bead.
My floor pump of fifteen years died recently, and @Doctor_Cake got me one of the Bontranger charger pumps. It's great :)
ok, many thanks for those suggestions.
after a surprisingly long time i think i have now convinced myself that no amount of fondling the tyre bead followed by manic pumping is going to sort this.
