An alternative to Ghetto Tubeless (milKit Booster)

Post by Cheeky Monkey »

Having been burnt previously on Kickstarter I vowed never again but this struck me as possibly worth a punt:

Interesting idea, would want to see how effective they actually are being buying.

Not convinced on the whole two-in-one drinking system and inflator idea.

Rubbery water would be lovely :YMSICK:

Also, when out you'd need to pressurize it with a hand pump. Might be a bit more grunt work than when using a track pump in the garage :wink:

I like the idea, very clever.

And their Compact 35 kit is excellent.

Hmmm.

Nice idea as a get-out-of-trouble fix on a trip as you'd have a bottle already, use this as a bottle and carry the spare head just in case. I'd be in if it showed an unseated Schwalbe being seated in one go off that small bottle ... I expect that tyre was seated already. If it works well once released I'm tempted.

Looks like the fuel bottles I have at home. If the pressurised air want do, set it on fire and boom! It'll get seated for sure.

Thanks for sharing. Will look closer into it :-bd

I use the full set up Duncan. It's actual next level. Wouldn't go back to what I was doing before.

Not worth going valves on their own imo - you want the full kit for the full benefit. Doesn't cost that much.
