• I am on Marathon Supremes. It was a a pig to get them on (mavic Ksyrium allroads), and quite a bit of work to seat them with a compressor, banging them around to pop the bead in all the places

    that said no punctures in ~1000km

  • What compressor do you have?

    Thinking about buying one, for tubeless but other things too. Looking at a 24l draper for around £100. It comes with air gun and paint gun etc.... Oil free and won't see a great deal of use but I'm loathe to spent £50 on yet another track pump when I can spend a bit more on something that will do a lot more.

  • I've got the parkiside model that LIDL did on one of their specials, which sadly it means they don't sell them anymore, they do pop up second hand occasionally. It's almost certainly rebadged version of another existing cheap model, but it was £90. It works a treat.

    FWIW, my dads a mechanical engineer and his take was that at the lower end, there's likely to be very little practical difference between any of the models around £100. I've seen near identical 24-50l clarke/draper etc. models pop up on gumtree/ebay for £40-80 in the past. Depends if you want to risk buying 2nd hand though, if -like me - you only use it for blowing up a few tyres, it's probably unlikely to go wrong any time soon.

  • Unfortunately I dont, I went to micycle to use theirs as I am a member. Means that if I change tyres I have to go back there so I’ll probably end up getting one of those canisters you fill with a track pump

    Come to think of it it wasn’t a proper compressor they have, it’s a zefal thing you pump up. Probably why it was such a hassle
