I'm promising myself that I'm finally going to get round to setting my tyres up tubeless in the next couple of weeks. It'll be my first time dabbling. I've got a bog standard Joe Blow track pump and access to a Makita air compressor at work (pictured below). The air compressor takes about as long as a pump to inflate a tyre so it's not the quick blast of air that I reckon is needed to seat tubeless tyres. Are either likely to be up to the task or shall I save myself a headache and get something specifically designed for the task? I've got Vittoria Corsas I'm planning on using installed with tubes currently and they were an absolute bastard to get seated so I reckon the whole thing is going to be a colossal pain in the arse.
